JED Bews has revealed he is battling osteitis pubis after experiencing groin soreness during the pre-season.
The Geelong defender, who underwent shoulder surgery in the weeks following last year’s elimination final loss to Melbourne, spent most of November and December running, which the 25-year-old believes has contributed to his current issue.

“It’s probably been about two months now since we recognised I had it,” Bews told K rock Football ahead of Saturday night’s win over Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium.
“We’ve kind of tried downloading me and slowly working me back up, but that hasn’t quite worked.
“So I had a little injection during the week, and then we’ll try again Monday and see how we go.”
