The sad thing with Bridgewater is all these people having a say about weather we should move to cornerstone or go to country division are mostly people that don't even come out and watch and support the Raiders. Has anyone gone to the players and asked them what they want because if they are pissed off as you said Bat Pad the club had better be carefull with which road they travel.
Correct call Ballhog, he has been working with the Roos for 5 years now, not once has there been a karate move been used. He is also a qualified Personal Trainer so the workout are about core strength and balance and the likes. He alone has definitely helped out a lot of the guys understand their training and playing strengths and weaknesses. These sessions also help out the concentration, whether that be playing or training.
Then again, this is not for everyone and Mt Ronnie's made the correct decision all those years ago to have him included in the club's training regime. I expect that nothing will eventuate with Shanties over the next year but they can improve things one by one, maybe they can turn this around over the next couple of years.
