Fingers crossed.

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.

Clever.

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

"All the Gold that i could eat..."

Yeah that's just the mindset we need to be back contending with the big boys

"Thank you gentlemen for coming to this introductory meeting...

KICK THE BLOODY THING!!! DON'T MUCK ARIUND WITH IT JUST KICK IT DOWN THE GUTS!!!!

..see you all next week."

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.

Bluey I think youll find this blokes job is more about educating the educators

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

wednesdays wasn't enough for you, bluey?

I hope he learns them good.

Please don't mention the word "Whiteboard" around here...I get recuring panic attacks that a certain person has retrurned....

MELBOURNE has appointed former Bulldogs opposition analyst Craig Jennings to the newly-created position of game analyst and education coordinator

A Hah,,,,, here we go, wins are now the imperative to start our climb... things are starting to get serious.

the list must be seen as mostly shaped & cleaned; after this off season... form will soon show its return.

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?

So what if you're 86 DIO. You nailed the other stuff!!!

Would that include telling them what the time is?

well if that includes reminding them to turn up for the first quarter on game day, them i'm all for it

Hahaha A new Clock Monitor...That is what we need...!

"The game starts now.....NO not in 45 minutes ok"

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.
