The one thing I took from today was about kicking the ball into the space where the receiver has to run, not directly to the receiver. It forces, for example, the forward to go to where the ball is delivered, not where they think they should lead to. And it forces the person with the ball to kick to the most advantageous location, because they have better vision of the defence. It is early days, but teaching players not to kick to a leading forward, but rather to the best position for that forward, takes time. When they have got the hang of it, then more defenders can be employed progressively until we get to match day reality.
This is precisely what Jason Dunstall, one of the greatest forwards ever, proclaims too

I attended a club event where Rivers presented confidently and eloquently, and gave me great confidence that he was our leader going forward, however his on field form since then has been very spasmodic and hardly inspiring, so I now have great reservations about his promotion to the role.
At this stage there’s a great chasm within the club of leadership candidates, with those younger players mentioned here, apart from Bowey, and Kozi ( who certainly doesn’t seem like one who’d clamour for the role) being probably lucky to get regular selections in the team anyway

He does a lot right from a playing perspective and is a champion of a ruckman, but his on field leadership leaves a lot to be desired.
Yep, he’ll kick straighter when he’s not captain, duh

🎄 XMAS MEET & GREET 2025 🎄
in Melbourne Demons
I’m just a little concerned about the ‘partner giveaways and other freebies’ that have been promoted.
There are some very generous spouses amongst us😜
