Great initiative, although I'd be surprised if no other team in the comp had a program along the same lines.

I think initiatives like this will be the real value of having Neil Craig in the position we created for him.

Something that maybe Neeld would think of, but never have the time to implement effectively.

    Yep , terrific thinking by our Club and shows the value of Neil Craig . We just seem to be on the front foot in a lot of areas . My immediate thoughts were which Clubs aren't doing this .

    If our Club continues initiatives like this one and aspires to be innovative we'll hopefully create a break on some other Clubs . Any small to large advantages can add up .

    Possibly getting to an "absolutely no excuses" situation .

    I'm sure other clubs would have something, as we have in the past* but I think this will be more structured and scientific.

    *I recall Garland doing a lot of work with the recruiting dept to keep involved, when he missed a lot of games with the stress reaction in his foot.

    Jamar also credited his time off with a similar injury with improving his game considerably, as he spent a lot of time with the coaches, watching tape and learning about opposition ruckmen throughout the league, leading to him earning AA honours.

    (can't recall the article - it was years ago).

    Hence a big part of why I see Grimes being more than capable of sliding into the captaincy role.

    Well done Neil Craig, and well done Football Department, Board, Management and Coaching Department for getting him to the club.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
