    Injury Russell your feathers - discuss all things high performance; injury lists, Marvel surface, curse from the gods and Andrew Russell

    Anybody we drafted can be considered a replacement for someone, but draftees aren't going to step up for 2-3 years minimum. Hollands ... yes, but not so much for Cunners as for his price, brother connection and endurance. We weren't looking to add pace there. Philp was low hanging fruit. We...

    They say there is no reason for it. We did say last year that we were going to address durability issues, but we didn't lose any of the always injured guys, and we didn't do much to replace them.

    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    I don't think we need to get rid of Russell. I think it is more likely that we have to change some of our strategies.

    I'm not sure if that was the message there or not. It seems that Russell has a role that's all encompassing though and I don't know if we can absolve everyone because they have overlapping roles, or because we can't put our finger on exactly where it's falling down. If we can't figure it out...

    It seems that the HPM works with other staff in regards to the mental side of the sport, so the club psychologist also comes under his auspices. It's an over-arching role. Make sure all the pieces are in place and make sure the need to use them is identified and followed up. I'd say Voss is...

    Coach Richmond under Adem Yze

    Yze was sold a pup and can't be judged. He still has premiership players in the team, but they've been there and done that under another coach and aren't used to losing, so maybe aren't giving their all. This is the best thing for Richmond. Bottom out quick, and add some draft quality before...

    Bit more to the role than that I think. https://acpe.edu.au/careers-guide/high-performance-sport-manager/#:~:text=As%20a%20High%20Performance%20Manager,programs%20and%20analysing%20performance%20data.

    List Mgmt. 2024 List Management 📃

    I'd take a look at Ben Ainsworth and Josh Battle as free agents. I think we should move Sam Durdin and Caleb Marchbank on.

    Yes, can do both very well. Dual threat.

    I guess he has been part of a winning culture, even if he is a bit undisciplined at times. We need someone like him for sure. I'm guessing he is contracted though as he is due for free agency. Probably a better option than Hayward otherwise.

    Kinda the way I saw it too. Kennedy was holding Heeney well, so Heeney got switched forward. It was telling when Ejijah and Durds went to the centre bounce. We lack pace and Walsh was struggling. Kennedy plays his role very well and his one percenter bumps and shepherds are underrated. Always...

    Nope. You'd think you'd need to be sure before a rebuttal like that. I just went back and watched every centre bounce in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. A couple of asides added in. He was on Warner for the one bounce that Warner scored from, and it was pot luck as to where the tap went. Rowbottom...

    So apparently our tackle attempts went at 50%, while the Swans went at 75%. Think about that ... 1 in every 2 of our tackles was broken.
