Guessing this came from the photos taken at Kings Park. He had a couple of large bandaids on his knee

Came off his skateboard

 

[anchor man]

Sauce?

LOL, was he bleeding?

 

[Taylor]

His left knee cap and lower quad above it is strategically shaven. Probably has a bit of tendinitis they are hitting with injections and don't want the sites getting infected.

Ugly side of footy.

 

[stax on the mull]

Some interesting exercises in todays training photos. What is the No5 round ball...is it like the old medicine ball?

I think by the looks of it, it is being used to strengthen the core muscles.

The 5 indicates 5kg's, yeah?

7news reported that Switta trained away from the main group. Did he have any postseason surgery?

I thought he had some back surgery. He rushed back for the finals after all.

What exactly does that mean for this season?

Wonder if it is patella tendinitis. I had that. It is painful but was able to get on top of it with Physio and patella knee strapping. Usually a mechanical issue with running.

 

[Polo342]

Wasn't Jordan Clark pictured training today? Swear there was no strapping in the photo

Yeah no strapping on him today. Did it occur in training?

Half the squad would be managing some form of tendinopathy, unless it's severe they'll just jab them and play through it.

That's what they do for the women's team anyway.

 

[Taylor]

unless it's severe they'll just jab them and play through it.

This is something fans need to be more generally aware of. This sport is played by people held together by tape, hope and sacrificing feeling to dull the pain of it.

It would be a better sport if it wasn't.

Fremantle Dockers recruit Luke Jackson impressing as Caleb Serong and Andrew Brayshaw’s leadership stands out​

‘Pretty crazy’: Action Jackson turning heads at Freo
Boom Fremantle recruit Luke Jackson’s “crazy” skills and athleticism are already turning heads at the Dockers, with the big man standing out as a forward during training on Monday.
Jackson joined the Dockers after three seasons and a premiership at Melbourne, where his ruckwork lifted him to the 2021 AFL Rising Star award and played a key role in the 2021 grand final triumph.
Fremantle are looking at new ways to build a forward line following the departure of Rory Lobb and Griffin Logue, and both Jackson and Nat Fyfe trained with the forwards group on Monday.
New forward recruit Josh Corbett said the pair had unique skills that made them stand out from the pack.
“As you would have seen at training today, some of the stuff Jackson can do is pretty crazy for a man of his height,” Corbett said.
“Sometimes he can play that small crumbing role but when he needs to stand tall, he’s definitely really impressive at doing that as well.
“Seeing Fyfe in the flesh is really impressive. His work rate and his ability to attack the contest is really impressive. I’m really looking forward to learning from those boys.”
Melbourne received pick 13 along with Fremantle’s future first and second round picks in the Jackson deal. Corbett was a much lower-profile trade, with Gold Coast receiving a future fourth-round selection.
The 26-year-old forward understands he is far from guaranteed to be in the best 22.
“I’d really love to play AFL football. That’s why I’m here to do. That’s what I want to achieve,” he said.
“I believe in my ability to play AFL football but I understand there’s no guarantees. I’m going to work my bum off to try to get in there the same as the other forwards, to get that opportunity.”
Corbett was full of praise for Fremantle’s training standards and the leadership of young stars Andrew Brayshaw and Caleb Serong.
He said the Dockers’ attitude and fitness of the squad had been one of the standout features of his start to life as a Fremantle player.
“A lot of the younger group, particularly Caleb and Andy are driving the standards here,” Corbett said.
“I think that’s a really important thing, particularly at a club like Fremantle. It doesn’t matter about age groups. It’s about who knows their role and being able able to play their role.
“There’s no egos. Everyone is able to speak up in a comfortable environment and everyone is really well respected.”

What exactly does that mean for this season?

Load management most likely. Tendons are load sensitive so need to look at recovery from exercise, especially ballistic/plyometric loads.

Reckon the club could make a mint just by organising and selling tickets to a Predator-style arm wrestle between these two:

 

[Diverbelow]

Meet me at the boat ramp at 6am tomorrow. I need two heavy cray pots pulled, rebaited and reset.

 

[DMan 11]

Shame it’s all quiet on the reports front, all we’ve got to fap over is a photo of Fyfe’s guns - gahhhhhh
