Out of an abundance of curiousity (to overcome my own ignorance), is conditioning something that the club helps the player build? Or does a player seek out their own advisers to do so, while recovering?

Each playing is giving an individual fitness, mostly running, program during their exit meeting which is aimed at ensuring the player returns for pre season in the right shape. If they don’t, which we saw with McAdam pre Xmas 2024, they need to spend time seperate to the group doing running which is a set back.

The opposite is Salem, who did far too many KM’s on an overseas trip and the club had to taper his involvement back to ensure no overload.

All players have a direct line to Selwyn during their break, an assigned buddy to complete running with and a 50 odd page guide on how to approach an off season.

Some players will rely on Selwyn heavily and others will seek their own fitness advisers.

    And some players go running/training with their best mates from other clubs. And/or their own fitness adviser has players from a number of clubs and they have sessions together.

    We should cut our losses.

    Not sure there’s any particularly advantageous way of doing so..

    What's in the 50-page guide? Surely it's not 50 pages of notes about running. Does it also include dietary advice? What else?

    Sad what happened to him

    Will be hard to come back from this kind of injury. The club wouldn't have known the future.

    Well he had never played more than 12 games a season...

    In his first season with us, we were disappointed with him.

    In his second season, we were disappointed for him.

    True supporters would hope that 2026 is a great season for him.

      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
