Don’t reckon it’s a case of last man standing ? Happy to be wrong if he performs at AFL level over next few years …he’d then be a good target

Not a guess Yep , I’d say it was done already We know how these things work , they normally get released a few weeks after getting done It wouldn’t have been done this week Not excited by the decision at this point of season at all

Bump …. Don’t agree with the 2 year extension at this point of the season but did point out I get some info from time to time from a couple of sources The Dawson captaincy called about 5-6 weeks in advance was another one Also re Soligo - like Burns said in presser … anyway can’t please them...

Top 10

Some coaches are on 1M and the high performance head $400k With us it’s likely burgess is 700-800k and nicks 600-650k I guess it’s same result between the 2 of the positions

Said this clearly before Nicks has final call I doubt he’d go against Burgo often though given he’s world renowned in this field Nicks coached horribly against GC in terms of preparation for opposition and conditions

Haha all good 👍

I think you’ve missed a little bit of my sarcasm re the PT stuff Probably best not to read the thread to catch up though

Comparing Milera v Soligo and now Tex vs Soligo is apples and oranges again Do you think Burgess has a blanket approach for each role and individual ? I have no doubt that if Burgo thinks he’s being undermined or if the club is jeapordising success due to restrictive cultural practices he...

Thought Nicks was poor too , didn’t have us prepared for opposition or conditions

Well Burgess was reportedly on 500k in 2015 at Port then subsequently had stints at Arsenal and Liverpool ( or did Liverpool come earlier ?) Then went to Melbourne and is considered a key , if not the off field key to their premiership success So taking into account 7-8 years of inflation and...

If you want to learn about some of the stuff that burgess is world expert in I suggest checking out some of his studies and PhD topics published in journals Imagine the stuff he knows that’s not published too ! This one below is a goody ‘Assessing athlete readiness using physical...

That’s the thing , we don’t know I can’t believe you blokes aren’t more up and arms about Burgess being paid a ridiculous amount when he’s just a glorified personal trainer

You have literally NFI what he does

WTF is burgess doing at the club ? Why would he stick around ? He’s never just been anywhere to collect a pay check If it’s a debacle in there he changes it or he’s out You’re not even sure what he does at the club so it’s best not to even get involved Giving a ‘LOL and a who cares’ re...

It’s not the 1970s still grey crow The reason why burgess is paid more than the senior coach is because he’s the best in his field If his knowledge isn’t being used then the club is more F’d than any single error or loss If we are deliberately sabotaging wins to gift senior players games...

Yep be interesting if there is a breakdown between nicks and burgess That will go away to ensuring failure this year and beyond

How much running and at what speed ?

Burgo clearly has NFI

Is he retiring ? Probably for the best for many reasons

Max is one of our locks to be an elite player for us for the long term IMO Just a very high quality player in terms of the competition for his role

Yep I’ve said that Should have come on earlier , that’s my opinion

Has he spent 5 weeks inside ? Don’t be silly

Hearing it’s a 2 year extension so will be interesting , they’ll prob wait for a win then announce Hopefully the win isn’t in round 6 😂 Lots of pressure coming if we can’t beat Geelong at home and by no means will it be easy I’m sure Soligo coming on as sub 15-20 mins earlier fits in with...

That’s the thing , hard to say whether it’s correct without the info and especially the expertise re sports science But that’s how the decision came about The high performance guys have a big say on loading and return to play Nicks however should have activated Soligo earlier ( in my...

Settle down splinters This is a discussion board about footy which you don’t seem to do

Yeah he could have and should have in my opinion come on earlier , different argument and Nicks has to live with that , nicks had a poor night . Team weren’t prepared If we had injury early he would have come on straight away but played the least TOG with a target in mind These scenarios...

They would have had a plan for that too , in game management re TOG max for Soligo Burgess and nicks would have discussed all that and which players take up the slack etc

You don’t reckon that was part of the plan ? Like specific kms into his legs for night at specific speed ? What you think would have happened if he had of played more game time ? Same post match running or less ?

bigman I’d be interested in your info from training over last 5-6 weeks since Soligo and milera were injured What were the differences to what you saw of them out on the track as they returned to full training Did Soligo get much basic endurance running in and how did that compare to milera...
