Good idea, the fans need to be along for the ride and hopefully this helps build the connection with the fans.
It's not easy to do these videos imo. If you put too much gameplan/tactical stuff in, other teams analyse it. If you include coaches private discussions on players that can go sideways if the players haven't been told something similar.
Would be cool to see something similar to what OKC does with their "The Path" series where they recap like 4-5 games and follow some of the players stories, mixed in with some game highlights and coaches media comments etc. Admittedly, it might be a little easier though in the NBA given the travel time on planes to edit things, the size of media staff and budgets they have as well lol.
I guess there is only so much content to show over a preseason. 3 x 15 min focussed episodes is probably about right. Unless you chuck in interviews with players etc to fill out the time.
 
Not sure I see the correlation between Brad's WIFM teachings vs footballers doing work or uni in their non-football time vs Ben McKay being in the leadership group mate?

Yeah I wrote that poorly but clicked post anyway 🙂

I guess I'm trying to say because football clubs take on 18 year olds usually destined for uni or the workforce, the responsibility they have extends beyond making them good footballers. They need to help them become good people.

When Brad gets mocked for encouraging players to build a financial life for themselves, it doesn't sit quite right. If you get all these externals right, then you get the best footballer from the players. We were at risk of simply losing Ben. Tarryn, right now, seems lost.

First episode was a really pleasant watch. Add me to the list of people who were surprised at just how open the voting was. Good on them though, promotes ownership of their individual and group decisions.

Personally would prefer secret ballot because players might rate someone as a leader but not feel comfortable saying it in the public forum, deferring to more obvious choices.

That's just my preference though, nothing wrong with what they did and it might be a proven successful method at other Leading Teams clubs.

It’s off the back of the collective mind stuff Clarko & Cam Matthews have brought in. They’re expected to be assertive and open with each other.

All part of Clarkson's quest to find players capable of lifting a premiership I guess.

If your feelings are hurt by a teammate not nominating you, or you need to hide behind a secret ballot, he may question what you'll do in the heat of the battle.

If the players don't feel they can voice their true feelings and opinions in front of the group then the culture is not right. Truth shouldn't have to happen in secret.

Maybe. I'm not here to push one way or the other. Just muse than young players might really follow someone like Aaron Hall but aren't secure enough in themselves to go against the grain in a public forum.

I wouldn't call that a sign of bad culture and you could easily argue that you only want players nominating people they are willing to publicly back.

Pt 2 up tonight - behind the scenes of the Richmond praccy match.

Clarko - “this is the first time the football world sees the new north Melbourne”

I for one was impressed


So it sounds like this ep was after the game last week. I wonder if ep 3 will be from the Dogs game this weekend.
