FREMANTLE coach Ross Lyon and the club's senior coaching brains trust have spent the past week in the US and UK visiting some of the biggest sporting organisations in the world.
Lyon, who has been joined by assistant coaches Peter Sumich and Simon Lloyd and football operations manager Chris Bond, spent time at English Premier League giants Liverpool and will attend tonight's glamour fixture between the Reds and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in London.
Earlier in the week, the group visited reigning Superbowl champions the New York Giants, along with fellow NFL teams the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings.
The 10-day research trip is to look at coaching methods, sports science and athlete development.
Lyon is known for his obsession with "team defence" and it is understood he has taken a special interest in the defensive mechanisms employed at the highest levels of American Football and soccer.
The Dockers coaches have also been happy to share some of their knowledge.
Fremantle's youngest players will return for pre-season training on Wednesday. The rest of the squad will join in over the next fortnight, with the oldest players due to return on November 28.
The Dockers will welcome new assistant coach Brett Kirk, who retired at the end of the 2010 season after playing 241 games for Sydney, including the 2005 premiership.
"Having two years away from the game allowed me to see footy from a different angle, but it did make me realise my strong desire to coach," Kirk said.
