Luke Meehan has made the decision to depart Richmond, following 12 years with the Club.

Richmond’s Physical Performance Manager, Luke Meehan, has made the decision to step away from the Club after 12 years working in the football department.

Meehan initially joined Richmond from the Western Bulldogs ahead of the 2013 season, having also spent time at Geelong.

The experienced AFL strength, conditioning, and physical performance coach has held the Physical Performance Manager role at the Club for the past two seasons.

Meehan had previously been Richmond’s strength and conditioning coach for a decade.

Richmond General Manager, Football Performance Tim Livingstone, thanked Meehan for his contribution to the Club, highlighted by his integral role in three premierships and eight finals campaigns.

“Luke has been a valued member of our football program for more than a decade, and his expertise has been a key part of what we have achieved as a Club,” he said.

“Having concluded the season, Luke has decided he is ready for a change, and has informed us that he will look at different opportunities for 2025 and beyond.

“We thank Luke and his family for all they have given to the Club and wish them all the best for the future.”

Burgess leaves the dees and they all  a sudden can’t finish off teams in the second half.

I expect much of the same in 2023 from us, unless we start loading up in this department. Not replacing inness cost us games this year. Look at the swans. Flying.

Rob Inness was our rehab guy

Correct.

How many repeat injuries did we have this year?

Yet we want to be tightarses, and rather spend money on other areas which have little
influence to our onfield performance.

Can tell you know if we want to load up on hopper with the rubbish we dished out this year, then expect more rehab time for that kid.

If we end up with Luke as our main man then we would be making a big mistake as he was part of this years problem.

 

The dud is out.

Off season is starting well for Oze. I have the feeling he waited until the final siren before telling us what he really thought of magic hands. More of that ruthless attitude with the players

Also no more of this soft cap rubbish some posters keep crapping on about.

Go out and get the best.

His position was untenable. I wonder if the club said go or be fired.

Can bet your ballsack on it

def.

Watch Yzes presser. I bet he had been waiting a long time to tell us what he thought of the dud.

Horst: Attention workers, we have completed our evaluation of the plant. We regret to announce the following lay-offs, which I will read in alphabetical order:
[pause]
Horst: Meehan, Magic.
[pause]
Horst: That is all.

I wish the best and maybe it was just bad luck🫣, BUT ,hopefully he gets the top job at Collingwood or better still Carlton ,

The last two years have been below standard.

Have to give him credit. He was part of the system and structure that gave us 3 flags. 2013 he joined, unsure if he had much to do with getting Grimes right, but that was a huge piece of the puzzle of our dynasty.

Wish him well.

Evidence from the last two years would suggest he had nothing to do with getting anyone right

I'm more giving him credit for his work pre main gig. I'm glad to see him be replaced but being part of the strength and conditioning pre and during our dynasty I'd happily tip my hat to him.

Happy of the result and someone fresh comes in with more experience at the top job of performance.

The jump from being a support act to being the head can be too much for some. Look at all the great assistants who faltered when they became senior coaches. I suspect luke and the club overestimated Luke’s abilities and that lead us to this poo storm we’re currently in

Richmond will target Adelaide Fitness Boss Darren Burgess.

Darren Burgess is set to depart Adelaide and move to Victoria, Carlton are also heavily tracking the fitness boss.

most likely going to Carlton, but still were in the mix

Carlton have hired Rob Inness so leaves us open for Burgess.
