Richmond has appointed Peter Burge as its Elite Performance Manager.

He replaces Matt Hornsby, who resigned at the end of the season, after 12 years in the Tigers’ fitness department.

Burge spent the 2012 season as St Kilda’s High Performance Manager, after previously working as Hawthorn’s Strength and Conditioning Coach for seven years.

He has extensive experience in the sporting industry, including a stint with the Australian Rugby Union.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Peter to the Club, to build on the outstanding work done by Matt Hornsby,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Craig Cameron.

“Peter comes to Richmond with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the football industry, and we are looking forward to him working with the players when they return for pre-season training.”

Matthew White has noticed a slight difference in the pre-season regime, under the Club’s new Elite Performance Manager, Peter Burge.

“It probably wouldn’t be a huge change from what we’ve done in previous years, but I think we’re running shorter distances.  It’s still long distances, but shorter than what we’ve done, and it’s a bit more explosive,” he said.
