Forward Coach: Tony Lockett

Kicking coach: Tony Lockett

Harder edge coach: Tony Lockett 

Are you listening coach: Tony Lockett

 

Only half kidding.

 

 

Jesus it's not that hard to work out, how people make out there is more into it baffles me, just watch all the greats same thing over and over again they all kick straight over the man on the mark and follow through, yes the ball drop is part of it and that should not change.

Russel Robertson had problems early then started to kick straight over the mark and it improved, Fritta started to kick straight over the mark and more often than not when he comes in on an arc he misses even if you watch Max he started to improve then has gone back to the arc kick.

If the club wants to improve get the likes of Dunstall down to go through it with them, it cannot hurt.

Great sports people have one thing in common they do the same thing over and over no matter what more often than not.

Is it really that simple? Greg Norman had a technique that nailed shot after shot on the driving range and in normal tournaments, but everyone knew it did not stand up well to pressure where everything moved a bit faster

Each to his own but you don't think Peter Thompson had any global impact ( without choking ) ?

Peter Thompson was a great great golfer but as a face for golf at the time Norman was the biggest.

Repetition. You need to practice practice practice until the act becomes second nature. When the pressure is on you can then fallback on this automaticity and execute. 

Depends how you practice though as well. Block practice vs variable or creative practice etc

Get some angry Demonlanders at training behind the goals deliberately causing distractions to simulate game day conditions with a psychologist on hand conditioning the players against the psyche out.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
