The news in today's HUN is that North Melbourne's strength and conditioning coach Paul Turk has left the club.

He has done some great work for the Kangaroos and I wonder if our club couldn't do with a change in this area?

Fire Bohdan Babiczuk!

It's all his fault! Newton wouldve been the next Carey if we had someone else.

If Jones gets traded, I'll know who to blame...

(even the GFC was his fault)

I'm always a bit perplexed by these "we must hire/sack such and such a fitness guy" threads. Considering we don't know what sort of strength and conditioning programs he has going at North or what programs he would set up at Melbourne, and we don't know what programs our current conditioning staff have in place for our players, and considering that even if we were privvy to this sort of information, very few footy fans actually know the field well enough to understand if and why one program might be better than another, I'm not sure why anyone would think it's a foregone conclusion that he's awesome at his job and we should get him.

Might it be that North's players have bigger bodies because they have drafted less bottom-age players than us?

That their list is older than ours?

I'm happy with the way we've been able to get Rivers and Sylvia, not only back in the side, but looking like they never suffered debilitating injuries in the first place.

We must be doing something right in that department.

Chip has also built up quite nicely.

Is there a correlation between the work done by a strength and conditioning coach and the number of injuries sustained at a club?

Obviously, there are some injuries that come from collisions and there's very little that can be done to avoid them but I must say we have had a lot of injuries of all different sorts over the past four years while Collingwood seems to have been relatively injury free for a lot of that time.

Luck of the draw?

Any medical experts care to have a say?

Paul would be a great pick up in my opinion. Before taking up the North role, he was running his personal training business out of the gym I went to in Boronia. A few friends and I had some personal training sessions with him and I cand say that he is a very good communicator, and looks a million bucks himself. Also the north boys seem to have very solid bodies, so I'm quite surprised they've let him go........ Jump in I say.

AGAIN- YOU are wrong-Bohdan Babiczuk has not been our Strength and Conditioning coach. He WAS our fitness coach until 2 years ago.He is now our Athletic Development Coach-He will be the one to get Blease up & running again when fit.

list as follows:

Joel Hocking – Fitness Manager

- Adam Paulo – Assistant Fitness Coach

- Valeri Stoimenov – Strength and Conditioning Coach

- Bohdan Babijczuk – Athletic Development Coach

He could show Morton and Wattsy some tricks. :P

Yiu cannot build muscle in 5 minutes- unfortunately it takes time- usually 3/4 seasons before one reaaly build up- refer to Chip.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
