“The recent club review identifying a void under the 5 year skipper”….

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

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.

2028 is shaping up to be a cracker 🤪

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,

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
