It's weird.

I know. I was promised it was just going to be hot 30 year old chicks with time on their hands and a love of the Melbourne Footy Club. Alas, life throws curve balls.

The proof of the pudding is in the icing.

Fingers crossed.

Clever.

For a second there I thought I was in the Harley Bennell thread...

One day someone will have to take the football department staff list and set out in plain English exactly what each person is paid to do, because it seems to me that one of the almost 40 existing members of the football department could take care of game analysis and education co-ordination. For example one of the five people with the word development in their job title.

You could sit the MFC list in front of a white board 12 hours a day and it would make no difference.

I feel like that one young alcoholic around a bar full of old drunkards flirting with the one old bartender with huge saggy [censored].

I'm picturing you as the guy in every cheesy action/sci-fi movie who says things like 'All I need to know is where they are!' and 'Our objective is to find the enemy and kill the enemy!'.

They usually get gruesomely exploded/gored/brainsucked/eaten during the first encounter, as a plot point to make clear that 'the enemy is smarter and more deadly than we thought'.

This is an awesome post.

Would it make any difference if the whiteboard had anything written on it?

I actually tick most of these boxes... you can decide how conceited I am re: hotness.

It's nice to be a human curve ball. Represent!

I wonder where this leaves Andrew Nichol who I would've thought at least covered the education coordinator part of the job description?

Either way, happy to have well qualified people and a focus on development.

Jennings seems eminently qualified and its a bonus that he has worked with McCartney and Goodwin before.

Good to see our player development and education programs' activity lifted and that players reacted really well to it:

Quote: “Throughout the year we started to introduce a number of changes to the way the coaches delivered information to the players, which had positive feedback from the players and tangible outcomes on game day.

“We will be making some further changes next season to continue creating the best learning environment for our players and ensuring their development.”

I see this as another example of Roos stepping into the background and allowing Goodwin to set up his own support team and structure. By this time 2017 Goodwin will have his own team in place. Love that Roos is giving him the space and authority to quietly build this outside the glare of media spotlights.

Would that include telling them what the time is?

We live in a professional world SWYL. Let's get the very best clock monitor we can. Someone from Seiko. It'll send a message to all other clubs as to the type of outfit we are.

a lot is about how the coaching works..not so much the players per se in this instance.. All about delivery of info etc

What are our KPI s and how will we ensure quality outcomes if we implement the models this person is proposing ??

Seems a good appointment, I just don't get excited about this kind of thing anymore.

If it's not an A grade mid coming in, I don't see anything else making a big enough difference for next year.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
