That’s how I felt.

I saw the pies link on bigfooty before aswell. I’ll take. Half right rumour like this. It means substantial change in an area we were all unhappy with.

That sounds a lot better than "Ex-Carlton" haha, I'd want that wiped from my résumé!

The high-profile wife of Carlton’s fitness boss has taken on Kane Cornes after he questioned the Blues’ inability to run out games.

Anyone know what that article was about a few weeks ago? We're already specialists at inability to run out games!

I wonder if they hedged their bets on us making the finals and tried to peak our fitness for September ...... so we went the slow fitness build up route .... rather than peaking too early?

We looked good yesterday with our run and finished the game well ...... reckon we could have caused some damage if we made the top 8

Alas ..... we will never know :(

I dont think Freo put up much of a fight to be honest- not sure why, they had a bit to play for. We had Max and Billings out and they had Fyfe and a couple of others. We were way too good. Might have beat the Bulldogs but not sure of the others but you just never know in finals.

Isn't Lenny farming cows in the Blue Mountains these days?

Sounds very mythical. Almost like we need him to take on that old mentorship role and pull him out of an early retirement, although make no mistake, he is reluctant at first. Cut to: the boys rock up to training for pre-season, on a very dark and foggy day at Moorabbin. Ratts and Steele turn around and face the group, Steele is noticeably hardened both in aura and stature as he says “boys, I went on a pilgrimage, and I’ve found someone who can help us, someone who was one of us, a long, long time ago”. The group look around and murmurs break out. Steele whistles this ancient sounding whistle, a sound so great it pierces a line through the fog almost summoning someone or something. Then, out of the Moorabbin haze walks a weathered figure, Lenny… Lenny Haze (sorry had to)… a legend rising from the fog. The group gasps, Rowan Marshall audibly whispers “my sweet God”. Lenny stands there and takes in the group, he looks gruff but determined, strong but agile, as he yells, “alright gents, we’ve got a lot do work to do, and I‘ve brought some friends to help me”… then almost like an incantation had been uttered, the fog dissipates and all living St.Kilda icons have returned (and even some spectres) rising from the smoke all over the ground. Lenny’s even brought some cows for tackling practice and the Plugger pig is there, although it’s much, much wiser and battle worn. Ratts shows a thin smile as his eyes widen, beholding the great cast of heroism. A beating drum line seems to rise and fade, in an inevitable march of sorts, as Steele turns to the 2022 playing group, lifts up his arms up with all the iconic figures by his side, and in a matter of fact way states, “the 2022 premiership cup is for the taking lads”. Thunder strikes, Lenny grimaces and the marching drums from the St.Kilda song start as pre-season commences…

We are apparently restructuring the fitness department. Wallis parted ways on good terms.

Hornsby was let go.

the rumour I heard early this morning was Russell from Carlton to lead a restructured department. Then Hornsby was announced a few hours later.

so it’s half right so far. But again, only a rumour (not from any stkilda horses mouth)

Harvey isn’t coming for those wanting it.

Who is Russell?
Glad about Harvey.

Highly regarded fitness guru who has been recently Carlton’d, after being in charge at Hawthorn for all 4 of their flags, and Port for theirs, in 2004.

Reportedly played a big part in getting Shaun Burgoyne over his chronic knee injury and putting Jaeger O’Meara back together.

Will be a great get if we de-Carltonise him.

Ratts, Rough, Rath and Russell. We’re putting the (Hawthorn) band back together!

Any other ex-Hawthorn guys who’s surnames start with R who are worth getting?

Rioli? Indigenous liaison officer? Tacking, forward craft coach? Anyone else?

And the accompanying soundtrack?
Surely something inspirational…
 
Justin Leppitsch is one I'd be targeting.

Targeting Carlton's set up seems weird.
