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?

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” 🤮

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,

    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
