Luke Meehan and Conditioning team

[Little Ziggyadee]

Meehan and his team need to start earning their pay with sorting out our increasing injury list with three more on the list this week, Tarranto, Short
and Clarke.

If continue at that rate.

Graig Streak and oldie will be in against Footscary.

This has been a horrendous start to a season.

Don’t forget the psychological impact on the players that are still fit. They see everyone falling down and not only do they lose confidence in their collective ability to win games of footy, but they also tend to hold themselves back physically. Which ironically leads to more injuries. Disaster.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Meehan’s fault now. Diabolical situation at an elite sporting club and changes will be forthcoming regardless.

Munchousen via proxy?

Yeah he got injured int he 2nd quarter, came back on after half time, heavily bandaged above and below the knee and then fell on it as he landed, his knee seemed to be bent inwards afterwards. The strapping to me (I'm not a doctor or anything like that) but appeared to be strapping both sides of the leg to protect the knee so suspect its some sort of medial / PCL strain.

great way to promote the club to prospective players.

nClarke now with an ACL.

Why was he put back out there yesterday?

 

[toothless]

Yes Meehan overlooks the entire conditioning program but he isn’t on his own.

What happened with Clarke yesterday was not something Meehan could control. It would be up to others who work in that area.

doesn't change the outcomes though does it? it's clearly not one person that is responsible for the ever growing injury list...

This should’ve been reviewed last year. What the actual *smile* is going on down there?

 

[toothless]

Benny still has his head under the car bonnet?

 

[tigerdell]

There is a splinter group forming "focus on fitness"

Watch out for splinters. With our luck we'd lose a player or two

 

[DavidSSS]

The number of injuries is beyond normal, clearly needs to be looked at.

Serious question, but what happens if we don't have enough senior listed players to field a team?

Your renamed NORTH Richmond.

 

[Jason King]

Did Yze get a say with the assistants or this bloke?

 

[Dev Tiger]

We are down to twenty eight fit players apparently now. We can't afford too many more injuries and still be able to field a team.

 

[TT33]

Ask Rob Innes "how much would it take". Surely we can afford it.

Its fine - the AFL will make up a rule to handle it.

did i read somewhere that we had a much tougher pre season this year, to get fitter?

Tigers to step up in pre-season

Richmond’s players can expect an increase in training loads and conditioning as they prepare for the 2014 season.

Meehan probably called in sick today ..........

He had a say in the assistants, because Newman was his pick. I think he’ll be asking a few questions about his off field personnel at seasons end.
