Throughout 2018 and 2019 the Murray Bushrangers Football Club has been fortunate to engage students from the Richmond Institute of Sport and Leisure as part of the Student Placement program. Students practically have supported the NAB League Under 18 Girls and Boys programs through contributing to AFL football specific tasks such as media liaison, statistical data analysis, game day vision analysis, training prehab set up and training day support. The suitability and reliability of the students to task was outstanding and we look forward to a continued positive partnership.
