If we were appointing a replacement for Meehan I would have thought it would be done by now given pre-season fast approaching and preparation that would need to be done for it. Reckon they might be backing him in for another season.

Good news for surgeons. They will be booking their 2024 holidays in anticipation of a bumper year!

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The learned would realize that the root of our problems where from complications at surgery

This. It's not popular with the tin foil brigade, but I'm not sure Meehan was breaking folks wrists or giving them infections. Meehan would be setting up programs based on the surgeons or Drs feedback etc.
Can we bring in some support for him? Sure. But everyone's assuming that the same club who can find the right coach, can't identify a competent Performance manager.
The learned would also realise that we had our fair share of soft tissue injuries and more worrying, reoccurring soft tissue injuries.
Short. ( calf )
Hopper. ( calf )
Prestia. ( calf )
Gibcus ( who they couldn’t get right after surgery )
Grimes. ( calf )
Bauer. ( hamstring )
Cumberland. ( calf )
MRioli. ( hamstring )
Etc. Etc.
Only wear tin foil on special occasions these days.

Correct. And worse, we sent some of those blokes back out there off limited recovery time and they re-injured themselves e.g. Short, Graham.
Even Hooch openly admitted they erred with Short.
First time any of those have had a soft tissue injury is it
stop clutching at straws , there used to be some dope that carped about losing someone to swans , guess what they had a worse run than oursYou cite a couple of impact injuries to support your argument that Luke Meehan had no responsibility towards our long injury list.First time any of those have had a soft tissue injury is it
But refuse to accept we had a serious run of soft tissue injuries.
Rob Iness was our strength and conditioning coach, not head of physical performance as he is at the Swans. In the role he was employed in at Richmond, we had one of the lowest soft tissue injury lists in the league. Can’t say the same since he left. Perhaps the problem lies with our strength and conditioning coach and not Meehan, but regardless, it’s been a disaster since the new regime got together
I think we've been pretty ordinary the past 2 years. It's no coincidence our list is ageing and our injuries are going up.
I think someone (maybe TBR) said he expected our year to have quite a lot of soft tissue injuries earlier in the year, based on how we'd approached pre-season.
I 100% agree we can get better, but I don't think it's as straightforward as Meehan came in and everything went to *smile* because of him.
Looking at the injury reports each week for all AFL teams our injury list didn’t seem unusual at all. These attacks by keyboard heroes with little or no medical expertise is laughable and just plain ignorant.
I apologise, perhaps I should be referring to you as doctor or professor as you obviously have superior medical knowledge to Meehan and his team to be so sure they have stuffed everything up.
