Injury woes are kicking in now....oh, how quickly a nearly fully fit list turns to one with a long injury list! Haven't heard anything about Jordan Gysberts or Luke Tapscott. They are presumably injured, but why no mention of them? Anybody know anything?

I would not be too concerned. Tapscott and Gysberts is purely they had not completed the relevant training load to start games.This if anything is injury prevention. I would say most of our injured list aside from Chip, Morton, Petterd, Campbell, Newton most would play if we were into the season. I would not be too concerned.

Spoke to cam schwab at intraclub last week. Both tapscott and gysberts are on modified programs due to last year's injury problems. They probably both need to be treated as first year players would in that respect. They also need to rebuild their bodies in terms of core strength and some guys who look big are not neccessarily strong in some areas and vice versa. So neither are injured (good news) but neither are ready and they arte taking an ultra conservative approach due to their first year injury woes so they don't break down again. That is my understanding anyway...

A bit like what happened with Grimes.

No cause for concern, in my opinion.

jeez we're an impatient lot...

What about Max Gawn. How far away is he?

I saw Luke Tapscott at Chadstone yesterday with a nice looking lady friend. Didn't look like he was hobbeling around or anything.

Our list management is doing all the corrct things to ensure what is hopefully a injury free start for these young guy's. Once upon a time this approach may not have been taken.

Gee Luke is a big fella for such a young kid. I would certainly hate to get hip and shouldered by him !!

Again training loads. He played intraclub, so expect to see him at some stage in nab cup (probably couldn't get a big enough plane for him to get to adealide tonight!)

I managed to speak to Max Gawn and Luke Tapscott at Intraclub, what was said in this thread is correct, managing them, Tapscott in particular is a bit '[censored] off', he is ready to go and wants to play but understands what the club is doing so his career lasts a bit longer than one more serious injury....asked about Gysberts they told me the same thing......young growing bodies.....also spoke to Jack Grimes at the AGM and asked him particularly about the managing....he said he would prefer to be on 60 games now but totally appreciates how and why......feels ready to rip this season.....and is so pumped from elevation to leadership group he wants to put in 22 big ones.....

its a hard life being an AFL player.

While they paid the big bucks they have a lot of "home work" to do when recovering from injuries...

Injury prevention at its best

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
