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.
