Stuart Graham - Head of High Performance

[PowerLil]

Might be overthinking this too but have noticed this season we are attempting way more off the deck kicks than ever.

I believe that is laziness or a fitness issue too

Unsure if SANFL side have been doing that more frequently too.

It's a can't be f***ed issue

Makes Cam Falloon look like Dean ‘The Weapon’ Robinson.

 

[Capital Power]

So who's the head of whatever it is our performance is now?

 

[PowerLil]

Best practice of promoting from within is doing well. Been shite for a decade.

 

[Sheeds]

If he gets removed they'll probably replace him with Charlie Dixon. Maybe in some type of hybrid role as Head of high performance and vehicle maintenance officer.

Thought Chad has done his time/apprenticeship…

 

[crafty_bernardo]

They would probably relegate and create a Para-AFL for PAFC if Dixon was in charge

If you are promoting from internally, you are carrying over known standards and performance indicators. If you are an elite organisation by practice, not just name, it works. If you are in the best 10-15% of the field, internal is FINE. When you haven’t won Jack shit for 20 years, you’re not a leader in the industry anymore, the stability model doesn’t create growth, there is no cross pollination and zero IP shared.

Get Josh in and get a heap of new assistants, even if they have zero coaching experience, get them from recent players from Sydney, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Geelong and Richmond. Likes of Travis Varcoe, Dylan Grimes, Alex Keath, Sam Reid, Sam Managola, Rhys Matthieson, Jason Castanga… not the absolute elite, but the blokes who worked their arse off!

Carries a mean whiteboard this bloke

Great post

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Head of mid performance.

 

[bomberclifford]

Head of mid performance.

At this point I'd be happy with mid. We're not even reaching that.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

When does this guy's contract expire?

 

[JimmyBC]

I'd be giving Andrew Russell a call if I were Josh.

We probably were top 10/15% from a fitness perspective about 10 years ago. But we've fallen away over time and continue with the internal promotions.

 

[Long live PAFC]

I’ve been as critical as anyone and the second half fade outs speak for themselves.

I would say we have a young team, shorter pre season and lots of ankles/knees/backs/shoulders that have derailed things.

 

[PA88]

Just another internal appointment that was cheap and lacking of ambition to be the best. He's been given a go and fitness has been declining.

 

[PA88]

Just watched the Magpies hang on but he'll... our fitness is shine.

 

[Chrizzt]

I, for one, am shocked that our rigorous process of internally promoting a guy to replace the guy we internally promoted to replace a guy has not paid dividends.

And yes, I’m aware this post could confuse people due to the fact it would be equally fitting in our reserves coach thread, assistant coaches thread, and CEO thread.

 

[PAFC66]

11th last quarter loss in a row .

 

[Ford Fairlane]

 

[GoPorts]

Hopefully he'll be spruiking 2 for 1 PT sessions at an anytime fitness next year

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Has to get the axe after this season. 11 losses in the last quarter. Something stinks.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Do what Choco did when he became coach, tap up the 2IC at a club with an impressive fitness program (think Geelong or Brisbane) and get them over here. Choco made Andrew Russell a star and he was 2IC to John Quinn at Essendon when they were top flight.
