It's gotta be a retirement because he wasn't gonna get a gig next year and his run at Carlton - whatever the cause of the injury issue, it's not a good look if you're the head of S&C - probs meant no one wanted to touch him with a barge pole.

I wonder if there's been some dissent among playing group over him too.

anyone else find it interesting on the bench Vs the hawks. everyone is wearing carlton clothes, but AR was wearing a white t-shirt. not even in club gear.

What I noticed was that Fog wasn't sitting beside Martin, and looked very pissed off

Unsure if this is the right place to post this.

It appears we "lost" out on Darren Burgess (maybe to Richmond??), but we have signed on Rob Inness from the Swans as our new High Performance Coach:

Is he any good?

Rumour on BF is that we were not in the running for Burgess anyway.

He was at Richmond while they had no injuries so that's good

Just build a list of players that dont get injured much. Then send them out to apply pressure for 130mins. Win the flag.

Swans 31 players used 17 of 20+ games- best of all finalist
Blues 37 players used 11 of 20+ games - worst of all the finalist

Sounds like he’s a good choice.

Hopefully the new Princes Park surface and a decent S and C plan means we can keep our best team on the park a bit more often.

We needed to try someone else. Fingers crossed.

That's encouraging.

If he brings Heeney, Warner and Gulden with him then he's our guy!

I expect he negotiated for a few guys to be gone before he arrives

There’s no real way to know whether this appointment will work or not but we sure as hell know the current situation has been a debacle for years. A positive change.

McGovern, Cerra and Williams in (and I don't even want to mention another couple)… maybe he's planning on going out with a bang! :yikes:
