Seems like the Rabbitohs were one of the better teams when it came to injuries of 5+ weeks this season.

We should have got the Titans bloke…

Welcome, Wade.

I look forward to your awesome powers of recovery being extended to our playing list.

Don't really care if his face looks the by-product of a (hairy) avocado having sex with an older, more disgusting (hairy) avocado, as long as he is ready to give maximum effort when he suits up for work.

So the Coach, President, most of the Assistant Coaches, several board members, Football Director, List Manager, High-Performance Manager and half the playing list have all been turned over in the last 3 years (& most of those happened within the last 12 months).

There's probably still some posters on here saying "Nothing's changed".

Did the rehab there, doubt he was involved.

You do realise that the supplements program was directly linked to rehab and recovery? As someone that would have worked closely with Robinson I have no doubt he had intimate knowledge of the program at the time. That said he wasn’t prosecuted so it’s largely irrelevant to Collingwood in 2021.

This is the toughest role at the club entering 2022 even ahead of the coaches so I’m glad we’ve gone with someone that has a long history in not only high performance, but also the AFL. I’m not going to pretend like I think it’s a good appointment because I’ve genuinely got no idea I’ll just stick to AD’s comments and concur that hopefully this is a sign of increased muscle mass across the board.

+ hard to imagine that anybody who came out the other side of that professional experience would conclude that illegal supplements are a good thing.

I could be wrong but isn't Michael Dugina the Strength and Conditioning Coordinator? He started at the club as a Boxing Coach in 1994...

But yes hopefully Wade can have some impact in that regard. The only time our players ever seem to look strong is when they're the types to do their own extras, ala Taylor Adams and Scott Pendlebury.

Just on that note... Gee Geelong have done well to completely escape all media scrutiny with regards to the Weapon and co.

A couple of theories …

(1)

Much of what Essendon got crucified for was their lack of record keeping. Stuff was clearly going on, people testified to it, but there was no record of what it was. IIRC nobody ever actually tested positive to anything?

Dunno, maybe Geelong had better admin and did a better job of the record keeping? Everything lined up?

(2)

It is in nobody’s best interests to put another AFL club through what Essendon did. It not only reflected poorly on Essendon, but it brought the whole competition into disrepute. The reason why Essendon got kicked out of the finals and Hird stood down was purely over reputational damage to the comp. The WADA / ASADA suspensions came later.

Any journo who poked their nose anywhere near that hornet’s nest would get no cooperation, unlikely get any support from their employer, and likely get marked as an enemy of the industry and get shunned.

Absolutely! It destroyed the careers of 4 people directly (Hird, Dank, Robinson and Reimers) and many more indirectly. As you said though you can’t walk away from that sort of professional experience without learning a thing or two about yourself and your profession.

What is extraordinary is that one bloke who directly participated in the program by taking the same supplements as Hird - is coaching in a GF next week.

Do you mean the guy that also bet on an AFL match? Some people really do have 9 lives!

I was questioning the other day whether Chris Scott was on the James Hird tanning supplements.
How does Chris Scott have the deep perma-tan these days from a home base of Geelong and with a busy full-time role as an AFL coach mid-season?

Unless he had a priapism, it’s not the same gear.

Wade arrived at Essendon Feb 2012?
The supplement situation already in full swing (since late 2011).
The good Doctor had already voiced his concerns in Jan 2012.
The Club ordered a cessation in May (although continued a few more months On the qt).
He was probably aware but not directly involved.
