I am staggered so many liked this post given its inaccuracies.I seem to recall people here saying we were too unfit and slow under Poulos?
The only year I can recall our fitness program gett8ng praise was last year.
Brett "Jobs for Boys" Burton was in charge.
Now he has been promoted with less time spent preparing players and we have a spate of Hamstring issues
Yet people are blaming Burton?

Yeah remember the stories about Sando being able to bench press more than anyone on the team when he got there.
And I said he might be but I can guarantee he won't be meeting with either of the WA clubs.
Tex, Talia & Knight are three guys who would have done everything asked of them in the offseason and more, they are probably the 3 hardest workers at the club next to Sloane. Tex and Talia were back training with the 1-4 year players as was Brouch. It wouldn't surprise me that Brouch and Lever were trying to do extra work to give this season a red-hot crack. So it's probably not a coincidence that these are the guys who have had the Hammys. I thought the McGovern brothers were notorious for not liking training so I have no idea if Mitch also would have tried to have an extra big preseason but with his contract up and him at the perfect age to have a breakout season it wouldn't surprise me.
If you plan on pushing the whole group to the edge, it's going to be the guys who want to do more work than everyone else who have the issues and I think that's what we are seeing.

Sloaneys pre season injury may be a blessing in disguise. Missed a chunk of training.No doubt, especially after such a key player as DT going down, someone at the club has pulled on the reigns. Muscles take a month or two to adapt to change though. We'll probably have a couple more but hopefully the change has been timely and will take effect before finals.
In the meantime we get a look at some talent lying beneath the surface. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Good sides can cope with challenges to their depth. I feel like we are finally a side like that. Did I mention my love for Pyke?

We don't win without him.God if Sloane did his Hammy Id' flip my s**t.
Has a degree in human movement or something. Very shallow qualification when you look at the bloke he displaced.
Lifted some weights in his bedroom in his teens.What were his qualifications?
I have never heard it called a "weight" before.Lifted some weights in his bedroom in his teens.
Your memory seems selective.
Polous was criticised under Sando which we later found out was Sando wanting them bulked up to play contested ball.
Then under Walsh this changed and our fitness improved. Burton just hasn't come up in one preseason to give us elite fitness and injury prevention, that's a build up over years.
Now we are into our second year with Burton regime, I say Burton because his fingerprints would be all over our program.
2nd in the club. Thommo bench pressed Sando bench pressing his maximum weight.
After that he never tried telling Thommo anything
2 degrees, a masters and currently doing PHD. 20 odd years of experienceWhat were his qualifications?

Well at least that's good news7 news said Talia avoided tendon damage and will be out for a month.
No mention of Knight.
