News Saints High Performance Manager Joining Us

[Varicho]

If he is the guy responsible for getting Lenny Hayes back from a Reco and managing him through a season where he had a leaking heart valve to win his clubs B&F - then I reckon we've done well to get him...

Then again, Lenny is a freak.

I am okay with this - Dimma knows him from the hawthorn flag days.

and tipping we got a bit left over from the 400K we were throwing around.

 

[telsor]

Just looked at the saints board.

They're talking about having signed up the Bulldogs High performance guy, but no reference to this.

The musical chairs are moving quickly, so it obviously wasn't a surprise at St Kilda.

hmm hawthorn haven't had the greatest run with injury

I hope it's because of something we all dont know, i hope it's atleast a few notches up from the hornsby fella.

Burge left the Saints and has since revealed he got asked to bulk Terry Milera up to which he responded "fk that, I wanna work with Dusty"

Burge spent the 2012 season as St Kilda’s High Performance Manager, after previously working as Hawthorn’s Strength and Conditioning Coach for seven years.

Not the same roll so we are ok. me hopes!

 

[pazza86]

i hope your right i just remember the flood of injuries they received after the winning the flag

Maybe driving past the ME Bank centre every day in admiration, he thought to himself, WTF am I doing driving to Seaford.

I'd happily deal with a flood of injuries after winning a flag.

Richmond’s two-point loss to Gold Coast in Round 16, four-point loss to North Melbourne in Round 17, and four-point loss to Carlton in Round 18, made it just the eighth time in league football history that a team had suffered three defeats in-a-row by under a goal.

That makes me so proud and pissed off at the same time!

Hey guys been a long time reader of the board, but only just signed up.

Was wondering does anyone know what happened with that burgess guy? did he reject our offer for ports?

Burgess's wife wanted to return to Adelaide so he took the Port Adelaide offer. Fair enough, family first

I know the doggies guy was the exercise physiologist at the Tas Institute of sport some years ago now.
Bill Davron. Knows his stuff,I think he was Triathlon Australia b4 the doggies took him.

So long as our players become
Faster
Stronger
Bigger
And dont break down, Thats all i want

 

[Mr Magic]

I think we might have dodged a bullet with the soccer guy.

Unless he knows his AFL bodies could be a risk for me.

Not sure how long he has been with the Saints but I am happy with the way they have been going with Watters and Lyons so win for Tigers

Main thing is no weapons come through the door

Ohh!! my mistake

Saints board reckons Peter Burge didn't quit to join us but was instead shown the door:

Doesn't say much for Burgey then.

I like this new ruthless approach.

I see Burge took off for Richmond.

Good work finding such a quick replacement.

Apparently he didnt quit, was kinda showed door.. This has been in works for while.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Happy with the appointment, knowing that Burge comes in with experience at 2 other AFL clubs, and knowing that Hornsby played a role in the selection process.

Saints board reckons Peter Burge didn't quit to join us but was instead shown the door:

Might have been due to the fact Watters wants to go the high-altitude route, something I don't think any team Burge has been involved with has been a part of.
I'm happy to take his 7 years at the Hawks as a reflection of his skill and disregard one year at St Kilda.
