These days, it's often the hi-tech gadgets and machines that surprises sports fans when talking about any athlete's recovery. However, young Pies star Adam Treloar has come up with a way to surprise fans without any fancy new gear.

Treloar has been using an almost six-year-old frozen bag of peas and corn to nurse the injuries picked up throughout his games.

โ€œIโ€™ve got this bag of ice. Well, itโ€™s not a bag of ice, itโ€™s a bag of peas and corn. I swear Iโ€™ve had it for almost six years,โ€ Treloar told the Sports Galore podcast.

โ€œYou canโ€™t even tell what type of peas and corn it was, because thereโ€™s no branding on it (anymore). Itโ€™s white and there are holes in it so sometimes some peas and corn come out.

โ€œGriffin, my dog, comes along and eats them. It hasnโ€™t failed me yet, so Iโ€™m not going to change it anytime soon.โ€

Given that he's played in over 130 games in under six years, it's safe to say the mixed bag of peas and corns is a reliable trick.
