Guinness cures all soft tissue injuries.
We have turned the corner.

Staff list entering 2017 (and other years) can be viewed using the link below. Looks like rumours regarding Kevin White getting a promotion were on the money. Amongst the changes

  • Our high performance department has been renamed Strength & Conditioning
  • Marasco has also moved under our netball umbrella
  • Seville and Dooley are no longer listed as staff
  • Shipperd moves up from VFL Physiotherapist
  • Baird-Colt, Paulo and Lazarus appear to be new appointments (they weren't listed as staff in 2017; although neither was Ryan Power who was our VFL forwards coach, so the staff list isn't 100% accurate)

EDIT: Baird-Colt is the ballet coach who's previously worked with Reid and others, Paulo has previously worked at the demons, broncos and titans, assuming he's one and the same Lazarus is currently studying a PHD in "Maximising performance and minimising injury in elite Australian footballers"

Cheers, Barrackers.

According to the Club's website Chris Howley has been moved to High Performance Manager for Netball not AFL so it doesn't surprise that the Herald Sun is getting things wrong again! - You can see some other changes to roles as well on the new staff listing, few different job titles, role changes, etc

never realised Dunn had a role with AFLW. Anyone know if that is new or when it started?

Good move by the club. Gives someone with what you assume would be coaching aspirations exposure to the role. Improves the pathways and tightens the links between our squads.

First words on the preseason from our new high performance manager that’s not called a high performance manager anymore:

I like it. Seems like the type who's a clear enough communicator (despite the accent) but also, importantly, someone who you'd actually be happy taking instruction from. Not some slob who you spend your entire run cursing, thinking 'there's no way you could do this, Davororn'

that thing they are running on.. is it a regular footpath ? or some kinda of rubber surface ?

Pretty sure it's the giant hill on the Tan (walking track around the botanic gardens.).

hhmmm OK...i guess running on asphalt is better than on concrete...just a minor obsession of mine, this practice of training for a sport played on grass by running on a road...

Yeah it's asphalt. Wouldnt worry too much. The bulk of their running is done on the oval at the Holden centre or the rubber running track that goes around it.

Let him tell you:-

He was also Sports Scientist at Liverpool FC or Man City (can't remember which) before coming across to Australia to work under Butters.

That's encouraging. I was keen for us to appoint someone with experience in a different but similar sport. And those are two very big and processional teams.

However my one niggling doubt is that he has come come within what appears on the outside to be a broken high performance unit. Is that wise?

It's very much a wait ans see on this for me.

Whilst I agree somewhat, as someone who hates footy training when they say to "bring runners, we're going for a run," but I think we'd be pretty safe given it's quick efforts up a hill.

I'd be more concerned if we found a grass hill that was 400m long with steady incline, expecting that someone was going to step in a pot hole.

Hard to know. Maybe the previous structure didn't actual allow him to do things his way. Time will tell.
