Contracted players taking direction from another club's staff

[restitute]

I am also outraged, clearly a breach of contract by Paddy.

Essendon should sack him immediately

 

[Furn2]

Well Clarko's been mentoring Dangerfield over the last few weeks and will continue to do so over the next 12mths.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

that's your take on it?

How about addressing the actual issue?

I have.

The guy wants out, and has mentally severed ties with the club. Trade him and be done with it.

"Ryder has already been taking daily direction from senior Power coach Ken Hinkley and training to fitness coach Darren Burgess’ specialised program."

I wonder how that would be received if the boot were on the other foot.......

One man's "specialised program" is another man's cluster****.

This is it in a nutshell, no other club would hang onto a player who publicly declares he want's out. Especially given the circumstances surrounding his reasons.

Big deal he is keeping himself fit, having taken on board some fitness advice from outside the club.

But no, Essendon scream, let's take it to court.

 

[Dave]

Dead right. I agree it would be horrible if you wanted to inject another clubs players as well.

So no chance of addressing the issue then?

Ryan O'Keefe and Josh Caddy say hi.

Just hope Paddy doesn't breach his confidentiality agreement and start telling Burgess about EFC's cutting edge program.

Selective quoting there Dave.

Selective quoting there Dave.

If that's your argument you couldn't possibly know given no other club has been in this situation.

 

[Dave]

Why? Carlton already know all about it and it's done them a fat lot of good.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Whilst it does sound bad and is ethically wrong i think it reads like Paddy is at Alberton every day whilst Burgess & Ken stand there with stopwatches and make him chase Kane Cornes.

From what I've read Paddy gets married in the next week or 2 so i imagine at worst PAFC have given him a program of what they expect their contracted players to do during their break and if he wants to become a PAFC player he would be best off adhering to it.

Once again its probably not the best look but i don't think it would be as bad as what that quote makes out.

Ideally though clubs shouldn't be in contact with players until the paperwork has been officially done. But its not like clubs don't speak to players directly about recruiting them whilst they are still under contract either.

 

[Moquo]

Im pretty sure thats what Luke Ball did - worked with a personal trainer leading up to the draft

Ball was training at the Lexus centre and using the hyperbaric chamber while still on the Saints list.

Let's hope this is the first and last.

ahhhh.... because hes a troll?

How is ROK going? Say hi back from me.

It has happened before. Right now 3 clubs are saying they will enforce contracts if the trades are not adequate. Some or all may be bluffing but at this point that's their position and they hold the contract rights.

 

[rjslcM]

A tipping point for Paddy was when he was told that their could be implications or abnormalities with his unborn child consequently from the injection program.

In light of that, for you to all say that this is 'poor behaviour' by Paddy and Port need to get a ****ing reality check.

 

[Kwality]

I think Essendon got fined a couple pf years ago for letting un-contracted potential draftees have a kick on their oval.

AFL, where the rules change everyday.

Isnt that the Bombers PR spin ? One for the true believers only schnitzz.

 

[Kwality]

You just dont get it. Now I am not pro Essendon but this is rubbish. Simply, if Ryder is getting instruction from Burgess on training methods. A official from Port, who pays if Ryder did his knee following that advice ? Ryder still is contracted to Essendon, should they pay ? It will open a legal shit storm

You OK with Ryder getting advice from one of Australias best qualified, best performed, internationally respected trainers?

 

[AM]

Understand the angst from Essendon supporters. Think it's a play by those advising Paddy to make it abundantly clear to the temporary coach and the temporary board he ain't comin back.

Sorry Dave i am only a meer supporter having a laugh. I don't have a direct line to the club. But keep trying mate.

Still pissed at losing the neafl by a kick.

Meerkats need all the support they can get to.
