Maybe, but how can we explain that we have changed this in the off-season and are still seeing the same sort of results?

Cos we've hired two duds to save a penny rather than getting the best of the best? Two promoted strength and conditioning coaches rather than poaching someone who knows what they're doing like Rob Inness, which is what the Blues did.

Blues have 7 on their injury list and three of them are tests (two of them are concussions) and 0 soft tissues.

sounds like hes up himself

You need to look further with his contribution to the wallabies in Union , now the wallabies have been shit for 20 odd years

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Why is he still at the club? Any other self respecting club would have farked him off by now

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Why is he the scapegoat, as he's only a fitness coach, just like Meehan was? It's the whole medical group that's the problem.

• Medical Staff (Doctors/Physios): Responsible for diagnosing injuries, treating acute injuries during training/matches, providing medical clearance, and long-term injury rehabilitation.
• Fitness Staff (Strength & Conditioning/High Performance): Responsible for physical preparation, strength training, monitoring workloads, speed development, and returning players to match fitness.

Key Distinctions in Roles:

• Medical Oversight: Club doctors and physiotherapists handle clinical issues and have final say on whether a player is medically fit to play.
• Performance Optimization: Strength and conditioning coaches manage the "body armor" of players, aiming to maximize physical performance and endurance.
• Rehabilitation: While fitness staff manage the return-to-running, medical staff manage the healing and clinical milestones.
• So once fitness staff get the all clear, they try to get them ready, but they aren't aware of what's inside their bodies, as that's the medical staff's job. You can say that, but their job is to get them ready again, yes. But they do not know the issues, as they are not doctors. During the game, players say, "I feel something wrong with my knee." They don't go to the fitness staff, do they?

I've met our Doctor - he is a moron. Trust me on this one.

President thinks the club is being honest and transparent with the fans. Did he read our posts? Lol

Send Smilie to Dank.

NO!!!!

Smille should be sent to the German doctor who does what Dank does but is medically qualified. Does it a whole lot smarter. Dank is a quack!

I know I’m in the minority thinking that (bad) luck is the main thing at play here. But even if I’m right, I’m at the point he has to go via a controlled process. There is just too much history now, conjecture and erosion of trust. I can’t see that being restored. I’d recommend a fresh start from end of season, or (possibly) earlier if it can be sanely engineered.

Wouldn't be surprised, as they say. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. He must be the best and explains our long layoffs lol. Dr. Long is also the president of the AFL Doctors' Association.

I had a chat to him last year and he was full of piss-weak excuses for our injuries. Reckon's it wasn't that bad. Delusional

We’re just gonna go and push that back to a TBC. And hopefully we can give you a timeline on when we might be able to provide you with a timeline. I just want to stress too, that this isn’t a recurrence of an old groin injury, nor is it a new injury.
