Fitness coach Peter Burge [merged]

[Diocletian]

Just to reitterate what I wrote in the Tom Hafety thread:

Which current AFL coach's philosophy is closest to Tommy's of being the fitter than everyone else and playing fast, direct footy?

Which side is currently topping the AFL ladder?

Some things are timeless.

Football is still a simple game. Tommy understood that.

"this is the first preseason we have been able to get the players to train at 100%"

 

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Imagine if they were still stuck at 80%. How bad would we be then?

WTF do you take daily. We had the worst pre-season to date with many players having pre-season operations & many not being involved in pre-season games or being able to start round 1. List is too long to put down. We know what you did last summer

Drive home drunk tonight chump.

Got run over the top of by a team who played in WA last week.

Pig.

Fox footy team just asked

Are they fit enough?

Answer was a resounding NO

Supporters aren't given enough credit, they know their side better than the experts. We've been calling it since round 1. At a family function a Carlton assistant coach told me they were stunned they were able to run over the top of us in the 2nd half bc at that stage they were 2-3 weeks off from acceptable match fitness.

Has to go down as the biggest joke of a pre season in history.

Martin in backline?

How'd he go in the fwd line tonight?... Basket case.

[Yeahright]

Apparently Burge was shown the door at the saints because he wasn't good enough.

Read that on bigfooty just then.

Interesting seeing this now, maybe the troll was telling some truth .

Oh and of course our resident guru had this to say...

Excellent, well done Tiges

[Phil Mrakov]

Will be around for another 3-4 years for sure

[tigs2011]

 Bow to the great man. 

[🏅Dooks]

Will be around for another 3-4 years for sure

would have to be to hide the accountability of those who gave him the job.

Totally agree. Seriously exposed.

3aw today played a clip of Ivan saying it's not fitness. Shaw and BT questioned Richmond's fitness level but Richo said it's not fitness. Ex-RFC fitness coach Matt Hornsby was on and agreed with Richo it's not a fitness issue. He's been in that situation and when you're not winning contested footy and chasing tail you can look slow. He said Richmond's final quarters are some of their best so they run out games.

On Matty White, Hornsby said Whitey would return to preseason slightly short of fitness and within a couple of weeks he'd be up with Dan Jackson as our best. He reckons that explains the "13th at Port" comment and that Whitey would now be up with Port's best runners.

[Phil Mrakov]

Yeah it's not fitness
