Taking inspiration from the semi finalists. Interesting. 😉

    Yes I saw that on the news, will be interesting to see the make up of our Leadership Group next year.

    Putting 2 + 2 together it appears to me the club review uncovered that they need to relax and have more fun in their approach to footy.  That was Hawthorn last year and it sounds like Goody was told to lighten up. 

    Maybe we should get Fev & Capper down to the club on a consulting basis?

    Makes sense.

    Lost a real leader with Hunter's retirement.

    Most interesting bit of that to me was the reference to Pert gone and clean slate that brings.
     

    Interesting to hear the captain mention the effect of a boardroom change.
     

    I am thinking the leaders in the footy department are much happier with the recent changes.

    First I have heard this… 

    Max, Viney and Lever are pretty bloody good leaders I would have thought. 

    And if there was a void under the 5 year skipper, there is a void under the skipper. Apparently we have leaders in the Gen Z.

    It's funny, I mustn't have been watching carefully, didn't hear this.

    Good leaders but no nonsense, very driven types, maybe no room for humour, for enjoying the game, is that the identified area of improvement? Only guessing but lightening up, having a joke, enjoying the experience have been features of Richmond’s premiership sides and last year, McCrea played the nice guy, “let’s have fun” coach and certainly Darsknee Moore captained with a smile on his face, at least in the race before the game. Certainly leadership styles can foster an environment that encourages risk taking and tolerates failure vs an environment that punishes failure, that discourages risk taking and rewards conservative play.

    Maxy … oh no … copy their onfield energy only …

    fyi we once let our junior managers plan an offsite.  Whilst it was on the business plan for the event, they forgot about the catering (drinks list only) and the bus transport was for arranged for one bus to transport 85 staff.  At least we got the lunchtime fire pit experience (which is in vogue) where he all got smoked out and returned home full of smoke like being on a 1976 plane flight.  

    As long as you don’t try to “pivot to lean in to future strategic initiatives to expand our footprint” 🤮


    and … 

     

    footnote… love the auto-text 

    Who is Krishan Batraka … 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣did he convert to Hinduism whilst at the Red Bull love in !!!

    It's an interesting one because we have a real gap in the player age spread from Oliver (now 27), with only seven players age 23 to 26.

    We're going to need at least some of them to develop into quality leaders ready for the 2028 premiership.

    I do actually think leadership on the park has been an issue of late, mainly that it's probably been the same voices for too long and it's become a little stale. That doesn't been we throw it all out and make Rivers captain with Koz as the vice, but looking to freshen things up is a very good thing and I'm glad that this review is creating a shift in thinking. Hearing Max say "we aren't the 2021 demons" to me says that we have been holding onto what we were instead of looking to be what we can/want to be.

    This club is built around Max. As good as he is there's an argument to say we are too Max focused at times and its hurt us.

    he is also 33 yo in Dec so we need a plan B

    It seems to me that when Gus stopped having any input, on the field or off, we suffered badly, could we have Gus back as a part time runner or something,   go Dee's

    Gus was initially part of this in some respect but came out after the first game and said he couldn't handle the emotions etc of not being able to be out there and felt it was best for himself to step away and focus on non footy stuff for a bit. Hopefully back at some point though.

    Not trying to tell people how to live,  but if you fall off a bicycle or a horse  then the advice is often to get back on Or at least try and hug the horse or get a trike or something.  It could be a real win for MFC and a win for Gus.  Whatever Gus wants in the first instance,

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
