In contrast, the demons looked to have v simplified training drills up the road. Maybe I missed the key drills, but straight running to goal lines, then arm in arm running in packs - please explain the benefits of this - all looked quite amateur compared to our loads.

Okay, there seems to be 14s of video of what cs1 was describing:

Just a snippet...
| Quote: | ...
White's appointment was a significant one. The club felt a change of direction was needed after ongoing issues with injury prevention and management under the Davoren fitness regime.
White is popular among the players and his emphasis on players improving their fitness via match simulation, rather than simply running laps or completing repeat running efforts, was well received.

The aftermath...
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-fall-out-from-the-melbourne-pre-season-camp-fiasco-20180316-p4z4oe.html
| Quote: | ...
It’s true that few came out of that story well. Cancelling the $40,000 camp so late in the day cost Melbourne their $15,000 deposit along with a summer of negative publicity. The breakdown in communications between players and coach left Simon Goodwin embarrassed and disappointed and the fall-out has also driven a wedge between the club and the AFL Players Association.
...
But the early moral is surely the one that Nathan Jones so honestly articulated on 3AW last month. Young men are different beings now even to a player like him who just recently turned 30, and clubs who don’t prioritise mental welfare risk paying a heavy price. It was a risk the hardy Jones, after talking with his embarrassed teammates, was not prepared to take.
The I Don’t Quit (IDQ) has been championed by Melbourne Storm and coach Craig Bellamy for all of his 15 pre-seasons at the club. Bellamy attends the camp each year with a group of his players but the coach is an observer and later receives a written report on each individual’s responses to extraordinary mental pressure from the past and present Special Operations Group operatives who run the program.
‘‘The camp helps us see how these players are going to fit into our club,’’ said Bellamy. ‘‘To be quite honest, the IDQ guys are not always right but over 15 years they haven’t been wrong too often.’’

Is 91 hours' recovery enough...?
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-04-26/four-days-recovery-is-enough-for-dons-and-pies-says-fitness-guru-darren-burgess
| Quote: | ...
Darren Burgess, High Performance boss at soccer giant Arsenal – after two stints at Port Adelaide – believes players who competed in Wednesday's Anzac Day clash will be able to back up in time for return bouts on Sunday.
...
"I think it's the perception that they won't be able to recover within four days," Burgess told AFL.com.au this week.
"Most research shows that players almost fully recover in three days, so I think it's more perception than anything.
"Of course, if players get minor injuries (corkies, etc.) then normally 6-7 days allows them to recover more completely so this will put both clubs at a disadvantage."
...
"It's more the training that gets altered rather than anything magical in recovery," he said.
"You will certainly place more emphasis on recovery so an emphasis on good sleep and good nutrition should be a focus.
"In these shorter turnarounds, physical preparation is just as important as tactical preparation, so training might have to be compromised."
...
"We played in Moscow and returned home at 5am Friday morning, then had to play in Newcastle (UK) at 1pm Sunday only last week, so we faced similar issues," Burgess said.
"The sleep is most important in this scenario.
"Most players sleep poorly after games, so in the following two days we alter training times to make sure the players have enough time to sleep.
"We're also lucky enough to have a range of recovery units on site such as sleep rooms, cryotherapy chambers, spas, saunas and ice baths, so we make full use of those."
...
"I'm not sure it is (most concern) for veterans, but it certainly is for players with recent interrupted training loads," he said.
"The players with the most resilience would be able to back up the best and these tend to be players who have completed all of pre-season and have been relatively injury free for the preceding few months."

Jake Niall (28/4/18 ):
"The headstrong fitness boss, Bill Davoren, who had built strong aerobic bases in young players while butting heads with Buckley, was removed and replaced by his lieutenant, Kevin White. Buckley had wanted the balls brought out – and skill-based drills emphasised – earlier than Davoren liked." |

Rodney Eade (4/6)
On the bye:
"With the CBA, you've got to give them four days off... The trick is ... when to give them that four days. Historically, I used to give them the next weekend, so you ... give them Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday off, but invariably, whenever they come back from having days off, the first day's training is terrible ... and you're always a chance of getting a soft-tissue injury. ... My last few years, even my last few or so at the Bulldogs, was have the four days straight off after your last game... When they come back on Thursday have a light session..."
On goal-kicking practice:
"Bill Davoren and Justin Cordy were both very good in saying, 'Well, it's a core product'..."
So is it a myth to say that the fitness guys say that...?
"No, some do. Some control that... 'You can only have a certain amount of kicks and you can only do this'... If there are sports science people saying, 'Put a limitation on that', I think you've got to throw the book at them and say, 'Nup, this is what we're doing'." |

And at Enemy Headquarters...
Former Bulldogs boss looks at Carlton fitness regime
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/former-bulldogs-boss-looks-at-carlton-fitness-regime-20180821-p4zywd.html
"The Blues, who rank with Collingwood and Adelaide for games lost to injury in 2018, note that the bulk of their injuries are ‘‘collision-based’’ – such as ankles and shoulders – rather than soft-tissue injuries such as hamstrings, groins and quadriceps.
Clubs tend to question the management of soft-tissue injuries more than those sustained via collisions.
The review encompasses all areas of the conditioning-fitness program, with Lowe having been the Bulldogs’ high performance manager prior to becoming general manager of the Dogs’ football department, a position he filled until last April.
Carlton chief executive Cain Liddle confirmed to The Age that the Blues had brought in Lowe for the review. “For the past month, Graham Lowe, an independent consultant from Ernst & Young, has conducted a thorough review of our high-performance area,’’ said Liddle.
...
Carlton already know that the team’s running capacity, as measured by GPS data, is not an issue – the numbers say that the Blues are running further and faster than most opposition sides, despite their relative youth."
[Quick comment: our club probably also needs an external review at season's end, by whom I don't know.] |

And out west...
Dockers investigating soft-tissue issues
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-24/dockers-investigating-softtissue-issues
| Quote: | ...
"Post the bye, for whatever reason, there's been a higher incidence of some soft-tissue and, I think, predominantly hamstring (injuries)," Lyon said.
"It can be as simple as training up here (at Optus Stadium), so the quality of our weights on our second session on our legs hasn't been the same, so there's been a cost to coming up here."
...
Lyon backed high performance manager Jason Weber to put a finger on the issue.
"Jason Weber coached the Wallabies (in strength and conditioning), there's no more qualified person in Australia and he's been with us eight years," Lyon said.

And in Adelaide...
Former North fitness guru joins Crows full-time
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-29/former-north-fitness-guru-joins-crows-fulltime
| Quote: |
ADELAIDE has strengthened its high-performance program, bringing in renowned physiotherapist and research scientist Steve Saunders in response to the club's crippling number of hamstring injuries.
Saunders worked as a consultant with the Crows this year, but starts in a full-time capacity in the coming weeks where he will report to general manager of high performance, Matt Hass.
...
Earlier this season, the Crows axed aspects of their new muscle-strengthening training program after suffering a high number of hamstring injuries.
...
Player workloads were reduced and elements of strength training removed after an internal review found the Crows attempted to squeeze in too much into a shortened pre-season coming off last year's Grand Final loss to Richmond.

Back at Enemy Headquarters (see four posts up)...
Blues pounce to poach key Hawks staffer
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-06/key-hawks-staffer-poached-by-another-club
"ANOTHER key member of Hawthorn's premiership dynasty has been poached, with elite performance manager Andrew Russell set to depart for Carlton.
...
Russell's standing at the club was evidenced by the gasp from guests in the Crown Palladium at Smith's shock announcement.
...
He was Port Adelaide's fitness boss and worked at Essendon before that, and he is a man in demand, but had resisted rival clubs' overtures until now.
... Clarkson ... recruited Russell from the Power to his team in 2005 and he has been at Waverley Park ever since.
Russell is credited with solving a number of Hawthorn stars' injury problems across the years, including Shaun Burgoyne, Luke Hodge, Brian Lake, Ryan Burton and most recently Jaeger O'Meara's troublesome knee.
"Yes, doctors have a big impact, but just behind, or even equal to the importance of Clarko, is Andrew Russell," Lake told AFL.com.au in June." |

Someone on twitter reported an opposition fitness person saying that after the first 2 rounds we changed from our preseason focus on endurance to shorter sprinting which led to our soft tissue injuries. Dunno how legit that sounds or whether it isn't normal.
