Grapevine says we were waiting on someone else who was still in season until recently, and they declined.

This. He might become the best or the worst. Let's see and hopefully the former.Everybody starts somewhere !!
Lets hope the people who are incharge of promoting him believe he is the best person available to take our team foward and he becomes the best in the game.
I reckon they pissed him off the minute Grimes pulled his hammyBurge announced he is leaving richmond 4 months ago
Maybe we should give " The Weapon" a call to see what his rates areSoft cap has now been increased. Extra $1m or thereabouts for upcoming season.
Depends on where club prioritises the funds.
I would have thought, after last years run with soft tissue injuries and inability to run out games, that they would direct them to sport science and performance
For the drugs or his service........or both?Maybe we should give " The Weapon" a call to see what his rates are
Yeah. The hate us all ready. Let's start the Richmond CartelFor the drugs or his service........or both?

Not sure what the secrecy is for TBR? Not like it's going to make any difference if you spill the beans, is it?
All those you mention above are very important and were rightly in place. Unless they were salary sacrificing, I don’t think the extra cap relief will be distributed amongst current staff.At the expense of the culture, leadership and mental development i.e. Emma Murray and Shane McCurry (these two are leaders in their field and we rightly invest more here than anyone) or getting assistants in like Ben Rutten and David Teague who would both be at the higher end?
When we have the above and also a senior coach who is one of the highest paid in the league, we can't pay top $$ everywhere and the above are our big investments. something then has to give.
Club has obviously thought the gap between Luke's ability and getting someone external wasn't worth the sacrifice somewhere like the above.
Time will tell if that is correct, but can understand the clubs logic.
They know Meehan well and obviously have full confidence in him so will hope he kills it and wish him well
Or tigers put pressure on him with our recurring soft tissue injuriesWonder how much more Hawthorn is paying him to lure him across...
Agree and disagree.Nothing wrong with giving the young guy a go by any means. There's no magicians working in this field, the knowledge about preparing the human body for elite sport is shared by everyone and there is very little variation in what anyone does.
He will be just as equipped for the job as anyone, most of the challenge is to form relationships with the players which will have them buy in to what he asks them to do, and live professionally outside of the club environment.
And as I always say he will prepare the players thoroughly, do everything possible to set them up for success and then sit back and hope like hell they don't get injured.
Agree and disagree.
I've worked in the field, and done it at multiple clubs, and while the information we all read is generally the same or fairly similar, the applications and stances taken on training modalities can vary wildly.
One club I was at the high performance manager believed in longer duration running (as an example), another preferred physical size in the gym (a very powerlifted style strength program) and another again believed that conditioning should be from within drills and players only ran at the end if they didnt get their required distances.
Luke is very capable, and a strong relationship builder (key), but the big thing is the still need to replace the work of Rob Inness
Different roles, so wont be a fair comparison. Luke a good, not going to lose anything in the promotion at allD85, what is the difference between what Luke will do & what Rob Innes did/does? Please.
D85, has the advent of GPS monitoring smoothed out the variations in fitness programs from club to club? Luke Meehan in an interview stated he had changed his approach from what he did in past years due to depth of data from GPSAgree and disagree.
