COLLINGWOOD has overhauled its strength and conditioning program but makes no apologies for the massive workload it is pumping into its players.
The club’s strength coach Marty Girvan has been moved on and will be replaced in coming days.
Collingwood has drilled into every aspect of its injury crisis, including the amount of running undertaken, the load put into young players and the type of leg weights players done by players.
But while they believe they will do some things differently, the Magpies are adamant it is short-term pain for long-term pain.
They believed they were not fit enough under David Buttifant and new fitness guru Bill Davoren massively increased their loads in the last off-season
