Nothing about scans.
Nobody there who looks to me like the bear. Are these guys meant to look familiar to us? I don't recognise any of them.
Middle one in the back row, I think!

Maybe we should keep an eye on Pendles while we’re at it...

After being told Elliott had just a minor strain about 4 times last year & not getting a single senior game out of him I think we have reason to be concerned. Even in December. If it was any player besides Elliott or Moore then we probably wouldn’t. He has had post season surgery & been to the so called German hammy guru & is still having issues.

But nothing has been said about him having a strain, for God's sake. Moore and Elliott went to that German doctor for advice on a number of things including on how to manage loads correctly. If Elliott is not back training at the first session next year THEN we have reason to be concerned.
But a lot of players are on managed programs prior to Christmas.

Possibly, but there is a growing push for athletes to have regular scans to monitor changes in their bodies and to early detect problems, especially those that have been vulnerable - apparently Arsenal do this for instance. Albeit, the cost of such scans is prohibitive and may get caught up in non-salary cap spend restrictions, meaning the cost can be even higher if we get hit with an AFL 'luxury tax' on football department spend of sorts I believe.
Also more work is being done at the Club around educating/coaching some players to stop playing injured and give their bodies a rest before further, longer term damage is done. I believe that Kevin White is now feeling more confident on reading players pain thresholds, understanding their individual loads etc and communicating with them, having taken the helm for the full season now.

I guess we will see early next year then PS. Would be more than happy for my pessimism to be misplaced.

What do expect to hear when 40 blokes are training and not answering questions with politically correct answers for the camera?

"Why yes Finnish, you're right, there was a caption about scans."
Happy New Year everybody. The boys return from the Christmas break on Monday. My understanding is they will be meeting to discuss the trip to the Gold Coast but not actually working on the track. Can anybody confirm that this is correct? If not I'm heading down for a look.

Don’t know what they’d be meeting about. Now that Blairy’s retired surely they don’t need to arrange for someone to bring floaties with them to the water parks?
Looks like they are on the track Wednesday......reported in the other training thread.
