I've heard from a few ITK that there has been a view that he puts on too much weight in the gym )

Really? That hardly even makes sense...

re: the thread title - a bit premature to rank him a 9/10 I would’ve thought?

re: the thread title - a bit premature to rank him a 9/10 I would’ve thought?

Agreed. 6/10 at best.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

He looks less strengthed and conditioneded than Marty Gleeson when he first got here.

he looks like a tweaker.

here's hoping that Russell underlings perform like Clarkson underlings

re: the thread title - a bit premature to rank him a 9/10 I would’ve thought?

Nah mate he's perfect a 5/7.

 

[Lore]

Lucky it wasn't me who updated it or it might've been 10/9. 'Murica!

Strength and Conditioning? Looks like he's never picked up a weight in his life.

Because the last jacked guy we had in the position worked so well

Would be more mobile with less weight

 

[DapperJong]

Would be more mobile with less weight

That’s a fairly black and white way of looking at it.

 

[citizen-erased]

He looks less strengthed and conditioneded than Marty Gleeson when he first got here.

cos the last guy we got with muscles and stuff worked out so well for us.....

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Really? That hardly even makes sense...

I suspect he means Putting on dumb muscle, looks good but not practical strength which is leaving him prone to soft tissue injuries when things crank up at AFL intensity levels.

Is Murphy cat B? #SackMurphy

 

[Towno78]

Interesting change in roles, instead of Crow heading up s&c and rehab, we now have dual roles.
* I hope we get this right.

 

[Bjchan13]

That’s a fairly black and white way of looking at it.

Baking powder?

 

[yaco55]

Murphy has a similar talking style to Brendan Bolton - Is this a Tasmanian thing ?

 

[Zach Package]

Our ability to get talent in the door is not an issue, our ability to get them up to speed and hardened for AFL footy has been nothing short of putrid.

Shapes as a huge addition for Dodoro’s reputation and Worsfold’s legacy

 

[die waiting]

more strengh and conditioning less media conferences !

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I hope he's not following his own advice judging from his photo.

Essendon assistant coach Hayden Skipworth is poised to join Collingwood, informing the Bombers of his resignation on Monday - the first day of Bombers' pre-season training.
Former Essendon and Adelaide player Skipworth, who has been at the Dons for a decade in a variety of roles, will head to the Pies to take up a role heading the club's academy.

Skipworth, 36, is likely to replace Tarkyn Lockyer, who is leaving the Holden Centre to replace Luke Power as head of the AFL academy. Brisbane Lions champion Power joined Carlton's coaching staff earlier this season.
Skipworth's decision leaves the Dons down a key assistant coach late in the piece. Skipworth had been responsible for the Essendon midfield in 2019 but had been poised to return to the forward line.
The Bombers have however gained highly-rated Richmond assistant Blake Caracella, and top VAFA coach Cam Roberts, who also has experience at AFL NT.
Skipworth's departure comes almost two months after the coaching handover between Ben Rutten and John Worsfold was announced.

Meh

 

[jmoo wan]

How ******* dare they steal our coaches! And on the first day of pre-season too, right when everything has been planned out. AFL should step in to stop this

 

[andleanback]

Apparently he walked in to preseason told everyone and left. Not a good look at all

 

[ant555]

The only important thing to take from this article is quoted below, ignore anything after this.

At least he admits when he *s it up. I agree with about 20% of what he says but I do not mind him. He puts it out there and he owns it when it is wrong.

Not ideal. Must have had an issue with the new direction.
