Roast Our fitness department - highly offensive/offended

[FR0GGY]

I still think this is factually incorrect. No way Sloane would have been in this “possie” four days after he lost his son.

Is she suggesting it was this week or the previous week?

Time for a clean out, what is Fagan doing? playing video games FMD

 

[DJ75]

Has anyone heard how Andrew McPherson's rehab is progressing?

Highly likely we will see him in for surgery in mid Jan. We rested him but it just didn’t get better....

Do you know of any reason why he won't be sent in for surgery earlier?

Has anyone heard how Andrew McPherson's rehab is progressing?

From memory, his groin injury came good and played 3 or 4 SANFL games towards the end of the season. Then he did him hamstring second to last round.

Think he will be ok for the start of pre season training.

You try telling Andrew Fagan he isn’t CEO.

I reckon it will be closer to June, after his season has been ruined with injury.
It will be interesting to see if we have learnt anything after Brouch

Andrew Fagan is a patsy

Patsy sounds like pasty. Balfour makes pasties.

We are getting a new sponsorship from villies?

My spell check had it as pasty when I posted

Is it pasty or pastie?

Maybe Patsy Biscoe is writing a new version of the club song

Still better than the AFL version they released this year.

There’s about half dozen slated for that time. Geez

I didn't know that Lynch had passed out at the camp. Interesting that he chose to sign on with the Crows despite this lack of concern for player welfare. Why isn't this enough to sack Burton (or the very least, demote him to an insignificant club role).

Or why isn’t the fact he signed on indicative that the camp wasnt as bad as is being portrayed?

 

[feenix67]

If Saunders is still 'advising' to the Kangaroos and Melbourne is that why he's been given a fairly lowly rung in the pecking order here?

Can't be seen having a head honcho with a foot in other camps.

So he'll basically be our head of fitness in all but title.

It's a very interesting appointment.

Saunders no longer runs North's S&C, but is essentially selling Kangatech, which he developed. Kangatech owned by Carl Dilena and that other North exec who's name escapes me.

Now he's on our team, in what's likely to be a consulting role, straightening up our Kangatech implementation, onboarding a new interface designed to make better use of that technology, and probably overseeing the injury management of some key players with long term issues like B Crouch, Knight, Seed and McPherson.

It's a big spend, because he wouldn't come cheap. Essentially we are paying for Kangatech to employ someone to take over sales and implementation (because Steve can't do it now), plus Steve's actual worth. It's no wonder people got let go in order to free up cash to pay him. Our Footy Dept is basically paying for 2 S&C managers now, plus Burton.

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

So... I'm still sitting here wondering how the **** Brett Burton is at our club?

Steve's offices are on Gillies Street in the city. Adelaide players going back to Ruccuito and more recently BCrouch are private clients.

The rumour that was floating around early in the year was AFC chose the "bronze" instead of the "platinum" version of KangaTech.

Yeah, I've heard words to that effect. You know what they say about getting what you pay for. Just another example of Burton's arrogance thinking he can handle it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is KangaTech a highly regarded innovation that will be taken up by more and more sporting organisations?

We didn't exactly do much for their PR image this year. Did as much for them as we did for Collective Minds.

No wonder they wanted to get someone in to manage it properly.

Yeah there's some NBA and EPL teams using it. I believe the NBA or some of their teams are using it for pre draft testing too. It's good tech, we just didn't have the tools and/or nous to implement it correctly.

Agreed. Although, from info I have, there are parts of what she has said that I can absolutely believe. There are other parts I’m a little more suspect of.

As Pyke said though, where there’s smoke... and there just seems to be more and more smoke.

It’s hard to know though how much of what journo’s like Wilson write is genuine info and how much is filling in the gaps for a good story.

 

[Golumless]

Anyone missing David Noble ?

I am

Lesson - careful what you wish for

I don't miss David Noble at all, as i'm a believer that he took us as far as he could. I do wish we went for a good option instead of a lazy one however.

 

[craig crowing]

Jenny61 I am a poster that thinks you bring a different side to posting on this site and add real value and the feedback you gave from Brisbane breakfast was great, but don't understand why you seem to be siding with no criticism of Burton when his selection and promotion was suspect at best and wrecked our season with camp and pre season and fitness support .
Our team is still in good shape to go well but unless something done we will self destruct .
Maybe you could help us understand your view on Fagan -- Burton and how we can get back on track.
This a genuine request from me to try to work out whats going on and how we get out of this.
When people on AFL TV tell us to stop spinning lies doesn't put my club in great light.
