I don't think the professionalism and performance levels are.

Not sure too many Olympic athletes would contemplate drinking alcohol during a season.
Just Stillnox and Redbull.

Not for the first time you have no idea what you are talking about. Literally none.
It is one of the most advanced, professional sports leagues in the world.
Compared to most semi amateur Olympic athletes training with a coach and getting by a piddling grant from a national body it's chalk n cheese

Edit Wrong thread......Sam Mitchell comments.
Anyway, I guess we will agree to disagree.
And my original point being Polous has gone up a step in terms of his career in the field he has not just a practical interest but an academic one.

If he was going to train Usain Bolt, I might agree with you; but not Rugby Sevens.
The Burton appointment is a worrying eventuality. I note he is not the fitness coach per se but GM of physical performance. So proof of the pudding will be in the eating and perhaps somewhere since retiring Burton has picked up the skill set of a league best overseer of a fitness dept.
We'll see... But for a club with a traumatic history of jobs for the boys culture it's worrying to say the least.

With the recent string of people not wanting to be at our club because of where it is (i.e. it's not Melbourne), you have to also consider the fact there may be constraints on who they can recruit. It's easy to say "Burton is a jobs for the boys" situation, but it may just be a case of he was the best guy available who was willing to come to the club.
That's hilarious. So convincing, I wonder if Roo talked to Noble and Fagan about it.
Really poor process here.
Certainly sounds like Brett has been employed not so much for his strength and conditioning prowess, but as much for his ability to coordinate our strength and conditions and medical/rehab programs and at the same time liaise with the coaching staff and David Noble in a meaningful manner. I think we'll see the club look to employ the technical experts under Brett to do their specific jobs, these are the guys you want to be top of their respective fields in fitness, strength, medical, Physio/rehab etc. Brett's employed because he has the football experience, as well as decent qualifications in the industry, as well as significant leadership skills (President of the AFLPA for 6 years should not be sneezed at).
Brett hasn't been employed for this role because he's the best strength and conditioning guy, his role is more than that, he's employed because he has a variety of experiences and ualifications that allow him to oversee the experts we get to perform their specific roles.
As much as I think Poulos is a big loss, people don't think his lack of experience in the game might have been an issue when working with the coaches? I suspect this was an issue brought up by Walshy mid year. We want to be able to headhunt the best people for each specific role, no matter whether their specialty is underwater basket weaving, synchronised swimming or AFL. Brett's role is to ensure these experts in S&C, Fitness, Recovery, Rehab/Physio, Dietetics, Medicine, Podietry, Psychology etc are all working to the same beat and understand their roles, and that there is good clear communication between these fields and the football coaches.

So he presented to the CEO and the Head of Football of the club and they decided to hire him and it's a poor process? How so?
It's a joke that Roo had no involvement because he wasn't at the interview.
Roo was on the radio the other day and said he talks to Burton a lot.
The process was flawed because how did we go out to market looking for the most credentialed candidate?
Where has it been stated that Birdman was the only candidate interviewed?

So because Burton and Roo talk they're automatically guilty? Do you really think Roo is so powerful he can pull the wool over both Fagan and Nobles eyes and get them to hire Burton?
And you and I don't know how they went to market looking for a candidate, so how can you possibly call it flawed?
Where has it been stated that the position was open?
Do you still believe in Santa?

I guess The Weapon is available.
Freo are victims of the "go home issue" in their coaching box.
simon lloyd to go to geelong
brett kirk back to swans
does this mean swans & Geelong will make room for them? and if so any assistants likely to be moved into our own coaches box?
Minor changes but i find it interesting to see the other club coach movements
