Richmond and Adelaide have turned their attentions to securing the services of Darren Burgess, a fitness guru who pays meticulous attention to his players' sleeping and eating habits. Burgess is currently head of fitness and conditioning with English Premier League soccer club Liverpool.
Richmond's general manager of football, Craig Cameron, is in London for discussions with Burgess and other fitness experts after Matthew Hornsby quit the Tigers after 11 years.
The Crows are also searching for a fitness boss after Stephen Schwerdt announced last week he was defecting to Gold Coast.
Burgess is a former fitness boss of Port Adelaide and the Socceroos, having been with the Australian soccer team at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In his biography on the Liverpool website, Burgess says: ''We need to monitor everything from their sleep to their eating habits.
''Each session we know exactly how far they have run, walked, jogged, sprinted and turned, so we keep a pretty close eye on them and this comes under my role.''

we need this guy, this is exactly the way football is heading, sports science :shh

HMM not too comfortable with anyone associated with Liverpool FC being contracted to the Tiges.Cant we look to Old trafford for someone .At least there we will find people saturated in success
-
Do man U have any fitness staff that have an understanding of Aussie rules and the unique fitness requirements of its players?
-
..LOL Not sure Al.....lets enquire and find out

Kind of off topic but if anyone is interested in this sort of thing then YouTube Cristiano Ronaldo Tested to the Limit. It's some sports science dudes putting Ronaldo through all sorts of tests and trying to break down why he is freak athlete.
After watching that I'm sure the really clever EPL fitness staff could sit down and watch a few footy games and understand the requirements for Aussie Rules.
-
Is he from Melbz or Radelaide?
-
Sydney
-
Could we really match or come close to the $$$ that he would be getting at Liverpool?

theres way too much of this sport science coming into football ...why not get someone in who for example throws a bag of cement over the players and tells them to go for a hike up in the dandenongs.now that will instill all the things we want in a footballer.

They won a European Cup afew years ago. In terms of winning the English Premier League its been about 20 years which is 10 years less than what we have been waiting for here supporting the Tiges.

has their lack of success been down to poor fitness since burgess has been there?

Burgess has joined Port Adelaide ...
Port coup

The Age
August 31, 2012
PORT Adelaide has snared head fitness coach Darren Burgess from Premier League soccer club Liverpool. The Power beat Richmond and the Adelaide Crows in securing Burgess as the club continues its search for a new senior coach and fights to retain the services of reigning club champion Travis Boak.
Richmond was confident it had persuaded the former Socceroos high-performance boss to move to Melbourne. But Burgess, 37, who worked for Port between 2005 and 2007 and was seen as one key architect behind the club's feat in reaching the 2007 grand final, is understood to have accepted a lucrative offer from his old club and was keen to return to Adelaide for family reasons.

Meanwhile, the Power says it has no deal to reclaim fitness coach Darren Burgess from English Premier League club Liverpool.
Power football operations manager Peter Rohde described reports his club already has signed Burgess as premature.
"We're certainly speaking to him," Rohde told adelaidenow today. "But the deal is definitely not done."
At least five AFL clubs are chasing Burgess with Richmond having sent a delegation to England to meet Burgess, who left the Power at the end of 2007 to join the Socceroos.
But the task of luring Burgess back to Australia may be complicated by his contract with Liverpool. It still demands he work with the soccer club for the next year.

From today's Adelaide Advertiser...
Burgess' return to AFL football - where he has worked for the Swans and Power - is complicated by his contract at English Premier League club, Liverpool. He still has a year to serve on that deal.
Adelaide, which must replace fitness coach Stephen Schwerdt as he moves to Gold Coast, considers itself out of the race for Burgess.
Richmond, which sent a delegation to England to meet Burgess, also feels it has lost the race that involves two other Victorian-based AFL clubs.
Power football operations manager Peter Rohde says his club is still hopeful of regaining Burgess at Alberton where he worked from 2004-7. But he described reports his club already having secured Burgess' commitment to the Power as premature.
"We're certainly speaking to him," said Rohde. "But the deal is definitely not done."

Disappointing we again fail to get our target

It is tony, but the one thing we dont seem to do is start upping the ante just to get our man. we decide on a price, make the offer and stick to it. This can only be a good thing.
In this case it's a difficult task to overcome family connections as well.

True al. High profile doesn't necessarily mean the best anyway (hello 'Weapon' :wallywink ). We were after Neil Craig last year to add to our coaching ranks and missed out to Melbourne (good choice lol). Instead we eventually got Ross Smith over from Hawthorn who by all reports has been mainly responsible for tightening up our team defensive structure so we've stayed in games and not got flogged on the scoreboard all year.
I spoke to Matt Hornsby at training on Tuesday (wished him well for the future) and he was confident the Club would find someone very good to carry on what the Club's doing.

Was that a token gesture from Hornsby or did he give you the impression that 'someone very good' meant he had an idea on who we were looking at?

I didn't take it that Matt knew who the Club were looking at dwaino. More like he was confident there were a number of good fitness gurus out there in gneral to pick from and the Club was capable of getting one of them. I didn't ask if he knew any names. Unless the Club asked for his advice about a suitable replacement(s) then he probably wouldn't have known anyway.

We've upped the ante and are offering Burgess $400k p.a. to come to Tigerland.
Port Adelaide and Richmond Tigers bid for coach Darren Burgess
Michelangelo Rucci
From: AdelaideNow
September 02, 2012 11:30PM
PORT Adelaide is caught in a bidding war with Richmond for Liverpool fitness coach Darren Burgess.
And, in a change for the Power, which has struggled to lure coaches from outside SA, it may be the Adelaide lifestyle that brings Burgess back to Alberton rather than joining the growing "Port Adelaide reunion" at Tigerland.
As Richmond yesterday appointed Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams to senior coach Damien Hardwick's staff, the Tigers have sparked a stunning escalation in football department spending by offering Burgess a $400,000-a-season deal.
This has forced Adelaide out of the race, with the Crows arguing they are refusing to pay a fitness coach more than any of its football coaches. Adelaide must find a new fitness coach to replace Stephen Schwerdt who will join Gold Coast at the end of the season.
The Power's best offer so far to Burgess is $350,000. And its best hope of beating the Tigers in the auction is through Burgess' wife wanting to live in Adelaide.
Burgess, originally a Sydneysider, left Port at the end of 2007 to join the Socceroos. Richmond's offer not only hands Burgess more money than Port has on the table today, but also lets Burgess bring colleagues from the English Premier League club.
Port this week hopes to close the race for Burgess and out-of-contract midfielder Travis Boak to focus on the search for a new coach to replace Matthew Primus.
The prospect of a second coming at Alberton for Williams is now closed. He has quit Greater Western Sydney to return to Melbourne, where he will join former Power identities at Richmond - Hardwick, assistant coach Brendon Lade and recruiting manager Blair Hartley.
The irony of this twist is only three years ago Port had asked Hardwick to be Williams' understudy down at Alberton.
The Port reunion at Richmond may continue if Hartley persists with his mission to claim Power free-agent defender Troy Chaplin.
Hardwick last night hailed the arrival of Williams, who is to serve as a development coach. Of the Power gathering at Tigerland, Hardwick said: "Someone jokingly said we might change our yellow sash to teal. That won't be happening."

Looks like my call about not upping the ante just to get a target may be been a bit premature.
Surely there other options about without getting into a bidding war for someone who it seems has a prefernce to move to adelaide?

Does he really want to go Adelaide or was that just a media dot-joining exercise? Remember, this article is written by Adelaide's answer to Rat Boy, a man who believes the world is flat and ends at the borders of his silly State.

Yeah may have gone a little early here, although my frustration was more with his wife dictating where he goes. :shh

Darren Burgess has left liverpool, but there is no mention of what exactly role he will take when he returns to Australia.

I wonder if we are still in the hunt for him, or if the appointment of burge means we have given up on him?
Youd have to wonder how long he would stay with an AFL club anyway?
"Football is my number one sport by a long way. I didn’t like AFL much when I started working in it - I appreciate it much more now - but football is still my number one," Burgess said.
"I’d have liked to have worked in football in Australia, and I did have some initial conversations with Tony Popovic at Western Sydney, but nothing came of it."

Bulldogs have named their new fitness guys.
Graham Lowe is High Performance Manager and has worked with Scottish Rugby, New Zealand Rugby and an America's Cup ocean racing team.
Andy Burnett is Strength and Conditioning coach and has worked with New York Giants and New Zealand and Canadian Olympic athletes.
Reading the reports they are incredibly well credentialled from outside Aussie Rules.
From watching International Rugby, Scotland has been transformed in Lowe's tenure from the usual lethargic British lumps to international standard players - incredible results.
Before the naysayers start posting, note that this is Rugby UNION, not league. You know the All Blacks game.

OK Dooks I'll call it . CRAP.
So Lowe was National Fitness Advisor for New Zealand Rugby Union and Head Strength and Fitness coach at the All Blacks for four years and three years at Scottish Rugby but a WB supporter and a couple of Kiwi rugby supporters say they "are bot held in relative high regard'. So if you're telling the truth (very doubtful I know) they know better than the head of Kiwi and Scottish rugby?
Just for the sake of improving the knowledge of posters on this site, WB have
1) a new $31 million facility at Whitten Oval
2) a sports science partnership with Victoria University which gives them
3) use of an altitude training room to complement
4) the cryosauna they have for ice treatment
BTW they went to Athletes Performance in 2008 but haven't bothered to go back.
-
High altitude blah blah blah... Done wonders for the pies .... Not.... Over rated myth... Sheet helps athletes train for an event... But useless for a season

We agree again ;D
-
Tend to agree with X and Coach on this one. I don't think an annual session of altitude training is really that beneficial for a season of professional sport like AFL. But, if you have access to a facility like RT has described the Bulldogs having, then that's a different kettle of fish. I believe ongoing altitude training would have some tangible benefits and give a club a small leg up if they had permanent access to it. Where I do think the major benefit to Collingwood in their annual pilgrimage to Arizona comes from though, is in the learning and bonding that comes to a team when placed in a challenging 'camp' environment. In my opinion, this is far more real and important than the short term effects gained by altitude training itself.

Poort realised you can't just out run teams. Pack of gimps. White cost them the game which was glorious. Torched by a 90yo, then kicks a reverse torp on the left and shanks it with the game on the line. Classic Whitey.
