Stuart Graham - Head of High Performance

[Rigs]

21 year old GWS player

Can we do a side by side comparison for a 21 year old on our team

Hugh Jackson at 22

Coupled with Jack Lukosius injuring his back in the weights room is just unacceptable.

I guess even Willem Drew still looks like a 22 year old Hugh

And BZT injuring his back in the weights room.

Forgot about him

Just give each player a fitness first membership and sack this guy. Can't be any worse, and the trainers might help prevent all these back injuries by hitting the lunk alarm

 

[Ford Fairlane]

If this guy is available Port, get him!

 

[soafraid]

Saw post bumped and thought he was sacked

 

[Spadge]

If he hasnt been sacked yet... why?

Should have been given the DCM as soon as our last game had been played

Just waiting for the transfer fee to clear from Fernwood St. Agnes.

They’re quibbling over add-ons (a bonus for decimating bingo wings).

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I get a feeling the club aren't willing to push him and are waiting to see if he takes other offers.

Did we hand out underserved long term contracts to everyone?

 

[Hot Port]

Has this position been vacated yet ?? Can't wait

Too expensive. We'll just hire some bloke from a snap fitness gym

 

[soafraid]

jesus, he's been there since 2012 as well. and our players look skinny, weak, and gas out at the end of each quarter.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He won't be Essendon's HP boss

 

[Willsy10]

Geez Essendon really going all in for next year looking at West Coast and Port's high performance guys.

To be honest, HP in Aussie Rules is such a nieche job role. Getting a people or quality who understands the game are few and far. We might have to consider splitting the role into 2 departments.

1 department to handle our endurance and agility, maybe look at soccer or basketball experienced coaches.

1 departement to handle strength and conditioning, maybe look at rugby experienced coaches.

 

[rogerjames]

Sturt got 19 year olds looking like this, while an AFL club have 22 year olds looking 14, and 30 year olds with fat guts.

Our muscle conditiong has been pathetic for years

, he knows to mix it with the big boys we have to have bigger fitter bodies.

Assuming he is allowed by the love bosses he will no doubt have a replacement fitness guy in mind, he knows it is an important part of his plan to become successful.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I picked up a thick shake, they're pretty heavy if you get a large one!
