Long-time Fremantle fitness boss turned Hale School’s head of athletic development Jason Weber already sees elite traits in hot AFL draft prospect Neil Erasmus, comparing him to a quartet of top-10 Dockers picks he oversaw.

Weber is at the school five days a week, running morning strength-and-conditioning sessions as part of his role this year since departing the Dockers, and first XVIII footy captain Erasmus barely misses a 6am class and has impressed with his work ethic and willingness to listen and learn.

What has Erasmus got to do with Swans in the media ?

 

[Kiama Chris]

Just listened to it. Another reminder that this club is run by so many good, smart people who make it such a fabulous club to follow.
I wonder how many other clubs use a clinical rather than sports psych?

Bec Goddard is a breathe of fresh air in the footy world too. More of her please.

Absolutely on both counts. Suzie taking a long term view building the skills base of herself, coaching and performance staff as well as players. Super approach.
Great interviewing from Bec. She would be such an asset.

Honestly if Buddy is reasonably injury free next year I would happily offer him a 1 year contract extension.

Yep, my guess is you don't get a new manager if you are about to retire.

Manages Jacinta as well.

Buddy preparing for his modelling career …

So not a footy player manager? More in line with a career after footy?

 

[Jewelsbon]

Yep, my guess is you don't get a new manager if you are about to retire.

Coaches have managers, media personalities have managers - everyone seems to have managers these days!

My wife manages me. I'm just lucky she is a trained childcarer.

I reckon he will retire at the end of next season. He probably could go another year, but we need the cap space...

Well I am not suggesting paying him $1 million in that one season, I think $500,000 would be more than enough.

12 months ago most of us thought he was cooked. He certainly looked it! Raper and his team did an amazing job getting him into great shape. Let's see how things go in 2022 and then we can all (mainly Bud of course) make the call. He loves footy so he may want to go on and I'm sure the club will do the right thing by all concerned.

I'm wondering if Buddy wants to coach.
I understand he is a complete footy head and studies the game.

Remember i did tell you earlier in the year we would pick up Paddy if he passed all protocols.

and he does seem energised by the young player group we have at the club, mutual admiration ... i can see the club setting him up in an assistant coaching role on his retirement
isn't kennedy also looking at coaching?

 

[Punts]

Paddy is a dud

Here we go !!!!!

I reckon his value would be in recruitment.
Imagine if you have pimples and have just completed year 12. You are in the draft and Buddy Franklin turns up to interview you.
You would have to be stoked. Especially if you were a KP player.
He would still be very marketable for Sydney.

Interesting article; We might take him or we might not, but if we do then he might play forward or he might play back. Actually he would be good in case Buddy went down, but we are well served by having McDonald there if he does. But he could also be another McGovern but we don't know.

I think I preferred reading about Morrison's haircut.
