News Beams close to return

[TradeDraft]

COLLINGWOOD premiership forward Dayne Beams could play his first game for the year next weekend.

The 22-year-old has not been seen on the training track for a few weeks, owing to shin soreness, but is making solid progress in his recovery.

"It (the pain) is below his knees, high up on his shins in both legs," Collingwood director of football Geoff Walsh told AFL.com.au on Thursday afternoon.

"We're not sure what it is but the doctors wanted to give him a bit of a spell.

"He's had a couple of cortisone injections to settle it down but it's more a muscular thing rather than a joint thing.

"He's made good progress the last couple of days and I think he'll be available to play in week four of the NAB series."

Walsh said a decision on Beams' availability for the last pre-season game would be based on his ability to get through a full week of training.

Shin soreness, splints, whatever you want to call it is a bitch. Alot of people get it for many different reasons, I've had inflamation and extreme pain in the shins for about a year now due to running on the beach for a few weeks. It's something that should be managed very carefully just as they are doing.

In elite sportspeople especially football players bad cases can lead to stress fractures in the bone which is what happened to J. Thomas I'm pretty sure. And you will be out for at least half the season.

It's not all doom and gloom though, if he is already feeling good it may have been a quick case and even if you do have shin soreness you can still do alot of other cardio exercise that keeps you fit that doesn't aggrivate - swimming, cycling, rowing etc.

He should be right to go, hopefully he just looks after himself and does everything he is told to do.

More good news in that article too, about Tarrant;

In more positive news for the Magpies, defender Chris Tarrant took part in full training on Thursday and looks on track to also play in a week's time.

The 31-year-old has been troubled by a foot injury across the pre-season but moved well in all drills, before staying back after the session for one-on-one work with backline coach Ben Hart.

Buttifant said the session had seen Tarrant complete the most "functional" training he had for awhile, and at the highest intensity.

"He was good. He's come along really well and he did a lot more specific loading today for his position," he said.

"He's going to be a chance in the next few weeks to come up."

It's all coming together people.

That's true. I guess the club wouldn't be playing him in the NAB Cup if they didn't think he was 100% ready to go however.

I've discovered that most people who claim to have "inside information" are generally just guessing and have no more inside information than the rest of us.

He's aliveeee

 

[legendstatus]

I have to say, shin splints, foot problems, hamstrings, groins etc these injuries are going to reoccur from my knowledge a little bit medical I must add...

Just smells of Bucks trying to hard maybe?

Sorry Lads,at first i was told it was slight OP only because Beams was recovering from his groin problems,so it made sense.

I will have to double check things with my source in Future.Peter make sure you give me the right,info next time !

Apologies Ladies and Gents.

Main thing is though,the pies are on track to blitz.I am excited!

Yeah I can relate to shin splints which are a real b1tch because the best way to heal them is to keep off the feet i.e no running. The OP is right that you can do cardio as long as there is no pounding involved. Interesting that with Beams that it is very high up though and Walshy said they're not sure what it is? .... then again that doesn't mean much as any footy injury news usually isn't 100% put out there for all ears.

Btw ... for those wondering about shin splints. It's the muscles connecting to either side of the shin that get sore and not the shin bone splinting as the name suggests. In most case it's due to an imbalance in the feet (eg rolling in or outwards) and running too much on hard surfaces like roads. The first port of call is getting properly tested and buying the correct running shoes. From there it's exercises on those muscles to build them up and stretching pre & post running. You should never run out or run through shin splint pain either as it'll only gets worse meaning more time off in the long run. I've learnt that lesson the hard way.

That will make it very difficult to recover. Beams has a reputation of a love for giving a good pounding.

All she longed to hear was the words "I love you"
