I think all players should take up surfing, paddling around in the cold waters of Victoria can only be good for the body and muscles.

interesting point you make. I wonder what the science is behind the affects of ocean water on the body and if it is beneficial? I think everyone believes its great for your skin to swim in the ocean but is there any science behind it.

Off to google I go....

    Minder was a great show.

    He never got hurt somehow.

    Obviously relieving to hear he is fine, but seriously, wtf. How unlucky can the bloke be?!

    Look at someone like Jones and I honestly can't remember him being in doubt for a game because of inury. He just doesn't get injured.

    Then you get a young promising talent who takes a year to get over a serious back injury, and upon return someone stands on his foot which is serious enough to require scans..

    All I can hope is that there is no trend emerging here.

    It's hard to relax with all the 'luck' we've received over the past few seasons.

    Your memory of Jones is incorrect:

    Nathan Jones wins a hard ball for Melbourne against the Swans on Sunday

    Jones sidelined for six to eight weeks

    Matt Burgan

    31 August 2010 5:27 PM

    NATHAN Jones will be sidelined for six to eight weeks after sustaining two fractured vertebrae and broken ribs.

    Jones suffered the injury during Sunday’s clash against North Melbourne at the MCG.

    He copped in a knee in the back from North Melbourne forward Aaron Edwards, during a contest.

    The hard-at-it Demon was immediately taken from the ground, playing no further part in the match.

    Jones spent two nights in hospital, before being released.

    Although it was a nasty incident, the tenacious midfielder remains in good spirits.

    The 22-year-old has played 92 matches, playing all 22 games in 2010.

    He has missed just four matches in four seasonsExclusive to melbournefc.com.au

    I'm fairly positive it's pseudo-science. Little more than an embarrassing coincidence that every AFL team does ocean water recovery sessions after matches.

    I was reading in a science book once the reason our blood tastes salty is because we originally came from the ocean

    Something to do with the salt content being good for cuts and scratches. The stuff to do with muscle recovery I'll leave to the pros, but there's definitely evidence for water being a low impact way of exercising.

    I'd say that the salt content, combined with the muscular effect means that teams hit the beach for recovery. They could probably do it in a pool, but it's a good team outing and a decent way to relax after a match when you don't want to be at the training ground. That's without mentioning how refreshing ocean air can be for tired bodies and minds.
