Adelaide is on the hunt for a new strength and conditioning coach, but it isn’t as a result of the Crows’ poor 2024.
The Crows have advertised online for a new strength and conditioning coach with high performance boss Darren Burgess posting on X that it was a “fantastic opportunity”.
Off-field changes are expected at West Lakes as a result of the Crows underwhelming season so far.
But this is not related to that, rather the Crows losing two members of their high performance team to rival code.
Strength and conditioning coach Sam Dodge has returned to the United Kingdom to work in rugby, while Jarryd Wallace has moved to the SACA.
In the online advertisement, the Crows say key responsibilities for the role include;
DEVELOPMENT and implementation of the club’s strength and power program,
DESIGN and maintenance of a best practice strength and power program optimising individual strength, speed, agility and power attributes of athletes,
ASSIST in the planning, design and implantation of rehabilitation programs to maximise player availability, and
ASSIST in cross-training conditioning during football training sessions and extra conditioning sessions.
