Strength & Power Coach

Just stumbled across this advertisement:

https://www.sportspeople.com.au/jobs/60390-strength-and-power-coach-melbourne-football-club

I'm assuming this is a new role and Burgess already has a hand in proceedings. (Which would be fantastic).

But I noticed it's listed as "Reports To: Performance Manager / Strength and Conditioning Manager", which raises the question of whom is currently in that role as the MFC website still has Rob Jackson listed.

Does anyone know what the go is there? Have we been without one since Rob left last year? Is Burgess bringing his own staff?

More curiosity than anything tbh.

    Power Coach? So we do want Hinkley ?

    That is very positive news LN.

    Club (Burgess/Mahony?) already recognising some of its deficiencies vs our competition and looking to improve them such as brute power/breakaway (burst) speed in and around the contest,  strength in contested marking and the ability to stand up in a tackle as a few examples.

    While not every player can or should be a Dusty, Dangerfield, Bont or Kennedy (Eagles) this will hopefully go some way towards improving select players in an upward trajectory like Tracc, Salem, Clarry, Gus & Harmes! Even the likes of Petty, Weid, Lockhart, Dunkley etc.

    Good pick up LN.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
