List Mgmt. Kevin White - Head of Performance

[My Left Foote]

Agree. The lads are running out games far better than any time in the last 5 years. Everyone except Taylor and Stephenson look significantly strong too.

Curtis maybe but people need to stop having a go at Stevo for his build, he‘s a greyhound not a pit bull, it’s not going to change.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Curtis is coming from a fair way back from a fitness perspective as a second year player with a limited junior tank. Has built high strength, but is still building his tank for the small forward/half-forward role, which needs a large tank. I suspect this is why Taylor has been shifted to half-forward. May also have a niggle or two.

So this guy has turned the team into a bunch of marathon runners.

Never mind if you lose every clearance and are chasing arse all day, you're still gonna be tired!

Never mind if your confidence is so destroyed you don't bother running as an option.

Feels like not one player saw the inside of a gym. LDU has completely lost his power maybe?

Not an excuse for the weak efforts, but we physically are weak also.

Now Clarko is mentioning it in his pressers.

Why do we always make life harder on ourselves? Overcompensating to the extreme.

 

[r_boy]

I don't just blame him though because it's a whole of club approach, what with the recruitment of more runners in Stephens and Fisher.

Stephens' aversion to contact in particular is eye-watering.

 

[chubbspeterson]

I thought I remember Sheezel mentioning on SEN that someone else handles the gym stuff. John Layton I think he said.
Kev does mainly the running stuff.

Weird comment, he’s been the only positive of our entire football department this year. We’ve had barely any injuries

Bit of recency bias there, 5 players are from the last 2 weeks. It’s the end of the season any team that isn’t playing finals puts players in for surgery.

 

[GoRoos2023]

Kevin did a great job!

Not sure if there is a table for lowest amount of games lost through soft tissue injury, if there is my bet our numbers will look great relative to the rest of the competition.

Onya Kev

 

[muttley45]

Take out Achilles and collision type injuries which are kind of out his control, and what's left ? criticism is a bit unwarranted imo, what about that Andrew Russell dude at Carlton ? there is a case more suited for it.

One soft tissue injury, the rest are all impact.


Compare the pair...

Not sure if there is a table for lowest amount of games list through soft tissue injury, if there is my bet we will be very high on the table.

I actually reckon we have had a reasonable season re injury losses. Biggest issue is our depth is so bad we get exposed very quickly. We are a 5 goal worse team without sheezel and his ankle was an impact injury.

Our woes are not on this bloke.

I remember we had a bloke called Paul Turk he was quite good we let him go over $$$$.
We need a strong weight program and fitness program plus try some different training like training in the afternoon or at night as we currently are in no man’s land.

That’s what I was trying to say he did great. Did it not read that way?

It’s gotta come from the group, they’re just go through the motions. can put anyone in charge and same result, the motivation needs to come from within.

The internal improvements wont come till shezel is the leader.

Yeah the baton needs to get passed on to the younger group. They need to drive this.

 

[Ligma]

There’s only so much Kev can do.

How many players are doing extras? How many are doing top up running?

As an AFL player you simply get exposed for doing the bare minimum which is their conditioning during training and their main gym sessions.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Not much chance of being injured when you don’t get out of a jog.

Spot on. They can't even apply themselves with directed workouts and diet as evidenced by the fact that some of them haven't put on an ounce of lean mass in years.

 

[Themanbun]

What's he meant to do, rock up to the Espy and drag these blokes away from their in season concerts?
