Roast Luke Meehan Departs Richmond

[Red Pill]

I just googled that Storm dude. Was at the Golden State Warriors prior to them and seems pretty highly rated.

Only knock on him would be no experience with an AFL team.

Seems to have had some experience with Brisbane Lions.... just not sure when that was

Edit... I was looking up Lachlan Penfold... not Adam Basil

We barely resemble one atm so will fit right in

NBA and NRL, what a contrast!!!
An appointment like that would be ballsy and outside the square.
It could go one of two ways - a complete disaster or a brilliant left field appointment.

which storm guy is it? that basil guy was also at melb victory and st kilda

close the club.

If he is good he has time to learn and improve with the team.

That’s true, and these dudes are at the forefront of sports science, surely they are all over the different training techniques needed for AFL v NRL v NBA.
Just on your point re having the time to learn and improve, It still confuses the * out of me how Meehan failed so dismally. I mean wasn’t he at the club and an apprentice to previously very successful physical performance managers. Either he was a very poor learner or tried something radically different to his predecessor

I would say Meehanbobbymagee had some mixture of the following in his repertoire:

- some radical ideas on conditioning athletes he has likely adopted from some person who has never conditioned an AFL footballer, or worse still, that he formulated himself, and/or

- a deficiency in focus where he just wasn't focussing on the right things at the right times or to the right extent.

Some people make errors and learn from the experience. Some make errors and get stuck making the same errors.

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

[SunshineBoy]

still not announced

carltoon a club thats playing finals announce theirs yet we are sitting around with our thumbs in our mouths

I could edit this for accuracy

 

[SunshineBoy]

What's the damn hold up? Surely we were sounding out potential candidates well before Meehan 'stood down'.

We have a world famous recruiting firm scouring the globe for him

 

[SunshineBoy]

We are pathetic

Probably sent him in for shoulder surgery , easy to confuse Foot bone connected to the leg bone…………

 

[SunshineBoy]

Defending the club over injuries is ludicrous

We are the worst in the comp, Tom Lynch is in a moon boot still and I reckon he's got a broken wrist instead

Wrist bone connected the arm bone……………..

Honestly, I think he, like the carlton bloke, tried something different and it backfired spectacularly. Doesnt need to be completely outside the box to fail, these guys are finely tuned athletes, mess with things by a few too many percentiles and it could have unforeseen ramifications

That’s probably about right!
You wonder if at some stage, he thought this ain’t working, time to go back to tried and trusted conditioning methods.

Obviously too late by that stage, but we are talking players careers.
As the casualties stack up, you got to reassess

So what’s obvious is we tried for rivals S&C people and have failed to attract and are now going to market.

Didn’t Meehan “quit”? It’s possible the plan was to retain him and now the club has been caught on the hop

This is pretty embarrassing that we had no one lined up.
It's clear we trying to poach & if that didn't work than we are screwed.

I wonder if we were waiting for Dunne to get in the Ox chair before getting stuck into this hire?

Late to the party again. Like the senior coach process.

No, when the CEO says the injuries were unnaceptable it's pretty evident Meehan was pushed.
