Roast Luke Meehan Departs Richmond

[Growapair]

I’m always intrigued by the physical performance manager. It seems like every team’s fan blame whoever is in charge for every single injury. Will be watching the next man up as a case study. Is it really the person in charge doing something wrong or what?

Definitely can be ... 2 years of back and foot stress fractures ... the pattern seemed problematic last year ... this year was damning ... cannot understand how we didn't add extra personnel with expertise to support Meehan after 23 if we weren't going to move him on.

CBFaarked detailing what exactly Meehan was doing wrong

(note: I have posted previously on the physiological research in regards to ACL injuries and how this and the stress fractures show the areas that Meehan was overlooking in his training)

Why are we so shit scared to spend a little extra in the softcap and pay the tax to the AFL scum if it will help keep our players on the track, the last two years have been a disaster.

 

[RichoLedio]

He will ask for a pay rise

10 year unbreakable contract

 

[wegetpumped]

Even people from Adelaide would rather move here though

What leave the beautiful Mediterranean climate for this hell whole I don't think so

Yes I can recall you posting a lot of information and you got in a heated debate with another good poster over it. In the end you were right as extra ACL injuries continued and Meehan got misfiled out of the place.

We don’t have the money bc of the PRO development. We’re trying to sell raffle tickets and digital bricks.

Dunne should try selling cookies ... people love cookies more than bricks

 

[beema limapep]

Can't believe we are short on money after 3 flags in 4 years, increased merch sales, memberships etc.

Meanwhile comp paupers Footscray have just opened its own $70 million dollar facility.

Maybe we can sell some digital hamstrings and raffle off a few of the players destroyed ACL's to raise some coin?

Can’t help but feel weve dropped the ball - Carlton publicly started looking for a new performance manager halfway through the season, identified a problem and didn’t waste a moment doing something about it…. Whereas we stuck fat until the send of the season - they now have Innes and we may not even get the mercenary. Tbh don’t care if we don’t get him, he has a history of moving around regularly - Innes was the one

this can be seen both ways though...

How many times (when we were successful) did we make a major announcement that no one knew about, and we all praised the club for doing good business behind closed doors with no leaks...

Can't have it both ways, happy like that when we are winning, then sooking about it when we are sh!t...

it's just either good business or it's not

True - I’m starting to think we’ve gotten too comfortable and are starting to drop the ball - hope I’m wrong!!

Well, to be fair, that may also be the case...

Just because we did it well 2017-2022, doesn't mean we are still doing it well.

Talk about having 50c each way.

That doesn't mean he wasn't told his services not required during the year and we we're shopping around. He was gone in the first couple of days. Burgess has international experience worked st 2 of the best EPL clubs in England highly regarded.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Looks like Burgess is a shoe in now.

What size?!?

We don't have enough coin to start and finish the PRO devo...so your request, though reasonable, prolly wont happen!

I hope we go left field and get someone that is one of the best in the world as opposed to one of the best in Australia

I just hope we get someone who knows what the f**k he is doing.

 

[THE_GUN]

Whats Stephen Dank upto these days

 

[Samuri Pizza Cat]

There is a sentiment that the club has dropped the ball and standing still with off field appointments

If we can gain anything from the interviews that Dunne has had is that the business of the Richmond football club is performing, we will be investing in the Football side of the club, something that has probably been hamstrung by Gale’s loyalty to current incumbents
