"We've got a really unprofessional medical team led by me"

 Efa

See this is where I get frustrated

He doesn't lead the medical team, that would be the head doctor, which he isn’t. So ridiculous statement

The constant soft tissue injuries are a disgrace and either he needs to look at his and his teams (that’s the S&C team) methods and adjust accordingly or the Club needs to look at him and his team and tell them to start getting it right or make a change

Agreed it’s become a massive problem

[Andyy]

4 soft tissue injuries (not including Dusty's cork) looking at significant lay offs. Every hamstring seems to be at least 6 weeks, up to 10-12 for the older blokes.

How does this stack up in the industry?

[Willy]

Surely the club will seriously look at this department.

I know luck is a factor but surely something isn’t right here.

So when burge was in charge the plaudits came from everywhere. Our fitness levels, ability to overcome injuries  and not have repeated injuries, peak at the right time etc

Well done burge what a legend.

Now he has left and there is virtually zero accountability.

Wake up. He took the job end of story.  Had the job handed to him on a silver platter.

who knows why but we have loads of cash now so why are we not splashing it out and searching for the best in the country not some Kmart version

[georgies31]

So many here we're defending him last year the same is happening this season in his department very poor. We're is the accountability ? .Tim Livingstone is head of Gale runs the club there accountable to.

Burge is back at Hawthorn. Check out their soft tissue injury list. Worse than ours

matters little. I was referring to Burge at Richmond and believe me he would be crucified if he was still here.

During his time he served us well" is what i was referring to.

It's that bloke we had but couldn't afford because of the scarey monster SOFTCAP but Sydney could afford him no problem. 
We are now stuck with the third string assistant that keeps using the same dodgy surgeon with the dirty scalpel.

I see Prestia has dropped from the initial 8-10 weeks down to about half that.

Balta has blown out from initial 3-5 to 6-8 given time already served.

Bauer another kid with a long-term soft tissue - wtf.

Time to move on Colina immediately and also very concerning re: Fawcett - what's his deal? Had glandular over the pre-season now a long-term back issue at his age?

[HKTigerB]

Fawcett was in the Club XIII room at halftime of the Port clash and said he would be running by end of April and full training at end of May.

[Diocletian]

Now Ross with a foot injury....are our blokes running laps barefoot on concrete at training or something?

[Assange Tiger 😎]

all of them except Cumberland who is refusing to do so. This is why Mansell is better than him
