Interesting bit of footage up on the MFC website from a helmet cam worn by Tom McDonald at training. Looks to have been spliced together a bit, but it would appear that they are working on drills that don't involve the safe long kick to the boundary option.

That would be nice.

It said in the article that the camera was attached to sunglasses. It would be pretty uncomfortable training in sunglasses, IMO. Cool idea though.

Saw him in sunnies yesterday and thought WTF? I thought it was Neeld at first!

Oh look something innovative, interesting and outside of the box that MFC is doing, surely not, we can't have that, stop it

Some innovation. I am not quite sure what it brings but I guess the coaching staff have some idea.

I also found it interesting that Tom McDonald was the man, or at least the first to have his footage go public. I suspect that they see his as someone important looking ahead.

As an aside I would like him to get some time at CHF later in the season, hopefully after the mids start getting some clearances - could have a future there.

PS: From the header, I thought that some new famous German guy, Helmut Cam, was at training :-)

Anyone have thoughts on his kicking technique? I know very little about the technical side of things like that, so it would be interesting to see if anyone can see what he's doing wrong in that footage.

Pretty cool footage - especially when he takes a mark.

Agree. I love seeing the ball coming in like that. Really interesting perspective.

Richmond did this with deledio months ago at their training session....

Ah, he hits targets at training...

will be in the leadership group in a couple of years. very level headed and speak really well and shows maturity well beyond his years.

I took part in a tour of the MFC facilities followed by a function all hosted by Chris Connolly. He brought up his name about 6 times, as the club highly rates him and is excited about the prospects of our back 6
