Roast Luke Meehan Departs Richmond

[tiger_tough]

Club tried to save a few dollars and it's cost us a chance to contend for the 8 this season and some crucial development last season. To promote from within was a shit decision for all to see.

Dimma leaves, we sign Yze on half the money. Two senior guys in Mini and X leave, we replace them with Newman and a bloke straight out of the game in Ziebell. Burge leaves for Hawks and we replace from within. Where the **** are we spending all the left-over cash?

I saw the Hawks board complaining about Burge the other day…

And I recall this board complaining when we had him. Now apparently we miss him.

Who misses him? I was glad to see the back of him. We had a heap of soft tissue injuries in his last couple of seasons too.

My point was he would've been on more coin than Meehan.

 

[guruisatiger]

Reckon we should nominate 12 big footy members, and give them a month each to be in charge

 

[SplintWhisky]

nope the FD is a rabble as they continue to play dead wood and are too scared to drop non performing players. Rutten and Teague are both a joke and Yze is not far behind them as he's following their footsteps. The fact standards have dropped is bc the fish rots from the head.

Teague got us to be one of the best scoring teams when he came over and out attacks still look dangerous when we can pull them off.

I would give Yze this year to be able to assess the FD and start to want he needs more of. Yes we have all this free cash but it would he stupid to rush out and buy a heap of shit that we wouldn't know if we need it or not.

If I were Yze I would be spending this time to assess the club and the functions. At the mid year bye, I would grab the leadership group plus some of the older players and have them around for dinner and a chat. "What is the one issue with the club that keeps you up at night?" Is the question I would pose to the players. I would also be chatting with Livingston and making it crystal clear "This is my vision, this is what I need and this is what I want".

As Yze, I would also have a very frank chat with Meehan. As these players start be available for selection, I would ask "If your job was on the line are you confident that Player X has completely recovered from their injury and had enough conditioning to not injure themselves again in the next 3 games"

 

[guruisatiger]

Another one bites the dust, Ross stress fracture 10-12 weeks.
I'm going to need everyone who voted other than yes to go change your votes now.

This is egregious and something needs to happen. If Luke Meehan is still head of strength and conditioning in 2025 I'll actually be dumbfounded.

You sound like a dictator

I disagree about Teague as we were already a good scoring team before he arrived. Everything else ok though.

 

[djspank]

Changed my vote from No to Yes today after the Ross news. I don't know if it's fair to blame one bloke but we just want some accountability from someone/somewhere.

 

[dirtybizza]

There's no question, if we are a serious club this guy cannot be here a season longer. He will easily be able to pick up a job at the local butcher shop

 

[Cdog71]

Throw some money at the guy at Brisbane

 

[bd3_]

The people who defend him no longer can. It’s beyond comprehension. Load management no where to be seen.

 

[prodigy]

Okay, but tell me if I'm wrong...

getting a stress fracture?
How?

 

[Growapair]

So Luke Meehan is responsible for Jack Ross getting a stress fracture?
How?

Okay chief ... why don't you tell us what you think Meehan"s responsibilities are?

 

[dirtybizza]

Caesar on PRE-

"smile last drill of day Taranto in pain leaving the ground with a limp arm supported in his jumper like a sling"

when will it end

 

[juss]

So Luke Meehan is responsible for Jack Ross getting a stress fracture?
How?

A stress fracture is is a load management injury, probably the type of injury that performance managers have the most control over....

 

[rfctigerarmy]

No chance are we beating WCE.

 

[Livonski]

Okay chief ... why don't you tell us what you think Meehan"s responsibilities are?

Main responsibility is to avoid stress fractures.
So no running or jumping.

Dustin Martin's greatness dragged so many along on his coat tails. Winning those 3 flags elevated and enhanced reputations like never before. If by fate we landed Jack Trengrove or Morabito instead of Dusty I dread to think what state we'd be in. With the success of 3 flags complacency set in and too many at Punt Rd have been trying to bottle their own farts to sell to versace as the next great eau de toilette.

I started this thread 10 months ago as it was plain to see and stood out like Dogs balls way back then. Since then we've had the farce of Campbell, Green, Soldo, Lynch, Smith and countless others injuries blow out time and time again. I applauded the fact Dusty, Nank and Lynch were left out of 0 round due to short turnaround. But it was obvious the flipside should've been Prestia and Grimes rested against Blues for same reasons. Lynch unfortunately had to play 90% against Blues after Young and Gibcus went down. He was expected to play 50% game time surely next week they'd ease up on him and bring in Ryan or Naismith to ease the burden..... nope he played 85% again. WTF!!!! Injury prone Graham surely would get brought through reserves on managed minutes... Nope straight through seniors.

Anyone wondering where that stupid f@cken camel statue is can either find it at the tip or at the nearest salvos store. I take it with our injury list no other club will be copying that stupid idea. I've said it before we own ALLIGNED LEISURE. We should be scouring the world for the best in the business. Pay the bloke and his off sider 60% of their salary on Richmond FC soft cap. ALLIGNED LEISURE can pay the other 40% (not out of our soft cap) they can "give talks, hold seminars, photo appearances, mentor...... various kinds of covers for appearance sakes at ALLIGNED LEISURE to justify that part of their earnings as an ABN holder.

The club is now getting exposed as Dustys brilliance can no longer plaster over cracks. HTF did the club not see this coming and make a change during the off season. I mean wtf is Mate Colina still drawing a salary he should be on NDIS not taking a list spot. Do people realise he was signed in 2020. He's physically been at the club 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 so 4 years for 7 mediocre VFL games because he's always bloody injured. It's not like he missed all of last year on the back of 30 VFL games he's been injured practically the whole time. Now we've got another tall Tapscott out for long term for the same injury.... is that a coincidence?

Or is some dud with a cert 4 in personal training overloading big blokes in the gym because he doesn't understand Lever mechanics and basic human anatomy because he copied off the nerd sitting next to him?

Spot on mate. Tell them like it is. He must be let go immediately. Laughing stock we are.

That’s literally he’s job to manage the players to not get this type of injury

Sorry a new coach deserves the chance to watch everyone on the list. From their can make decisions. Yze is anything but a joke.

Rubbish as he would know nearly the majority of the list from being an assistant at Melbourne. If he doesn't then that strengthens my point

 

[tugga]

Taranto dead.
It's almost at the stage where you would sack Meehan even if it's just as some form of hoodoo reversal.

 

[dirtybizza]

For ooze this season is all about observing and seeing what happens, he will make changes next season and hopefully that starts with Meehan's departure.
