Former Tyrone Coach Peter Donnelly and Darren Burgess Head of High Performance Port Adelaide AFL Club in 2015.

Looks to have been a great course, smart move by Donnelly, surely of some benefit to Tyrone GAA in the
following years and he is no doubt a great coach.

Could some sort engagement with the AFL clubs be a beneficial strategy to get an edge?

"They will live and breathe in-season training with the full team and their inner sanctum, which is a stand out and unique opportunity made possible by this partnership." - Uni SA & PAFC

"The course will also cover injury surveillance, rehabilitation and monitoring workloads; as well as interstate pre-game preparation of medical, nutrition, sleep and physical elements.

"Attendees will get unprecedented access to the sports science, coaching, and player development of an elite, successful sporting club."

There is a short interview clip of Peter Donnelly in the video link @ 3.31

Jases we'll be hearing some whinging from Mickey Harte now ::)

At least we won't have to listen to him moan on rte tv/radio anyway!!

Pretty classy that comment.
Asshole
Good for you for taking offence on his behalf.

Especially as we all know how his teams teams have conducted themselves with nothing but class all down the years.

Most relevant point though  is why any forward would want to play for a team like Tyrone? If you're McShane you're left in your own up front and the rest of the "forwards" are selected more for their fitness and stamina levels rather than their shooting/finishing skills.

A simple apology or recognition of a mistake would suffice.

Mickey was on BBC complaining about several things relating to Cathal McShane's decision, but he didn't go on RTE to complain so why should I or the other poster apologise for being right?

Fair play to McShane for giving it a go. He gets paid to be a professional athlete and has a chance to make a career for himself. You'd like to think Mickey Harte wished him well despite all his complaining and criticism of everything AFL related

He did, on the BBC.
