Luke Meehan and Conditioning team

Just had a look at Meehans report.
As others have said, too many “ums”, he’s not an orator Is he? But then again he’s not meant to be.
Looked a bit sheepish, like he’s been reading PRE.

Lastly on Luke, and this has zero impact on his ability to perform his immediate role.

But he still needs some more media training. Must have said "um" 50 times in his latest clip.

Just something to tidy up to get confidence from the audience (in this case supporters), and no doubt in future various endeavours.

Count the number of times Ooze says "no doubt" in his pressers.
 
Until Meehan starts saying that he is "looking forward to the challenge", or using the word "surreal", then I will have no faith in him.

Does my head in that. Right up there with people who keep using the word “actually”.

“We actually got in the car, and ended up actually going to Bendigo and we actually got lost if you can believe it.”

If you ever hear anyone using the word “actually” over and over when speaking to people, run for the hills. They are “actually” a moron.

I heard a spokesman for the NT Police Association on Radio National the other morning talking about the Alice Springs curfew. Every second word was 'obviously'. Except he pronounced it 'obvusly'.

"And obvusly we'll obvusly work with the government, but obvusly this makes the obvusly work of police obvusly more obvusly difficult."

I sh!t you not.

He's part of the selection process.



Absolutely. People in his role rule out players who (often ill advisedly as they are competive guys) put their hands up to play all the time.




True to an extent. However, ultimately Luke's role weighs up that risk. He knows Dion's history, loading, fitness, program and any repercussions of it better than anyone. It's his job.

You reckon if he said "Look Adem, Dions had a long history of hamstring issues, he's a year older and coming off a 5-day break after a 2.5 hour return plane trip in his first game of the year. Given all this and we have a long year ahead we've mapped out a program for him to miss this game, then return against Port - OK".

As people in his role do routinely - A MC with coach in his second game holding the overriding vote - you think is gunna overrule that?

On Luke in general - Combine this year with our repeat soft tissue injuries (remember when Burge would prep our guys to return, always give them an extra week or two, then they'd hit the ground like never missed a beat). Now they are pinging them again.

Stuck up for Luke last year as first year and could be unlucky. But lightning rarely strikes twice.

Must be a concerted review into our whole fitness program, of which Luke heads. Cos, luck aside, it;s simply not working.

Good post leysy.

The rest of this is speculation as to who made the call - it's a selection process as you said, so end of the day we don't know who said what. To pin an injury solely on Meehan seems unfair to me given the people involved in that process.

Don't disagree that Fitness needs a review at the very least though.

They say that he’s famous from the waist down but the top half of his body is a corpse. In winter he cracks in summer he warps.

I wonder who was involved in the conditioning of McKernon and Rocca for their bout?

From the short video clip i'm not sure what either of them were doing in a boxing ring.

Agree. That's the worst and more from Gen Z or whatever they're called.
 
Ooze has a few 'uhms' in pressers but just like Dimma's 'looks' in his early years when confronting the scavengers, he'll polish his words as time goes on.
 
I think the evidence is starting to mount that there is something wrong with our rehab and conditioning after the intial injuries occur. There are too many players having setbacks. You can argue that Prestia's is age related but Bauer's hammy can't be. Something is out of whack with the training progressions and rehab programs.
