Sounds like Kinnear Beatson has stepped back from his role (not clear into what other role if any) at Sydney, I hope the Don has at least sounded him out about an eastern seaboard role if he’s looking for a new challenge.

From their site I got "General Manager of List Strategy and Recruitment." So I guess he's one of the head honchos behind their list management

Sounds like it’s only a recent change, may not have been updated. He’s a very good operator, talent IDer and is well respected in the industry. Would be a wonderful addition if at all plausible.

We were chasing one of Sydney’s analytics guys, Chris Keane, when searching for our new list manager earlier this year
He decided to stay in Sydney, and may not have even interviewed with us, and around the same time he was promoted within their recruiting/list management department with Beatson said to be taking a step back but remaining as a mentor to the likes of Keane
Maybe something has changed but it sounded like he was scaling back his involvement whilst remaining with the club

Chris Keane has moved into Kinnear’s role so obviously highly rated by both us and Swans. Just unsure of where Kinnear’s role now sits. Could be Dodoro/Rosa or Wells/Mackie situation. In any event Pyke will be all over Beatson and Cox.

Kinnear is now moving towards retirement, or his version of it at least. As per Swans process he is now handing over to Keane and will act as mentor etc for the next few drafts via succession planning.

Good club, good processes wouldn’t expect any different. Would still love to see if he had any interest in any capacity after his time with the Swans is done. What’s the mail on Horse extending for another two years?
I'd respect Sydney if they got rid of the academy bullshit and built a list on their own. Take out the academy boys from their current team and they're probably in the big pack fighting for spots 3-10 on the ladder. As it stands, the fact they haven't won a flag since 2012 is kind of embarrassing.

Compromised recruitment access through their academy.
️Significant home ground advantage due to it's ridiculously unique shape.
️The best location for travelling every second week when you're only going either an hour north/south the majority of the time.
️I'd fall off my chair if they didn't have some special CoLA under the table that the AFL have agreed to as well.
Sure they have a great culture, but let's not pretend that they've built what they've got without significant leg-ups from being the league's pet in a "non-football state" and still struggle to be a profitable club.

️Shape of the ground doesn’t bother me. It happens in footy all around it’s great.
If anything I’m a bit annoyed Optus isn’t shaped like the local grounds you see in Perth, but oh well

Whether you're one to like it or not it's a significant advantage - much like Subi used to be for us and Kardinya Park is for the Cats due to their unique shapes.
Personally I'm not a fan of different shaped/sized grounds in a professional competition, they should be a regulation shape/size. I get the romantic idea of the quirkiness of it but I still think it makes it look amateur hour.
We need a new development program.
What's it going to take to get a Choko Williams or Joel Selwood type?
We need a household name heading up our development. Someone with kudos the kids know of and watched before they were drafted. We will be the youngest list by this time next year.
Trewhella, Morrison, Brennan aren't cutting it.

rucks that can't "synergise" with the likes of Yeo, Kelly, Reid?
He was getting praise earlier in the year when the boys were having a crack. They've all since dropped their bundle.
Jobs for the boys!!! The west coast way
Might not survive the simmo departure. I recon the whole coaching group is on the chopping block. The fish rots from the head, but the rest of the fish has given the players food poisoning.
I hope people are ready for the upheaval that's about occur. I can see the head coach sacking and then the resignations down the coaching lines.
It will present an amazing opportunity to get a bunch of new voices in.
All the talk of the 3 ex Eagles assistant coaches.....if one was to land the role, would another be willing to come for the ride as senior assistant.
Do we throw the kitchen sink at Chris scott. I can tell you from what I know behind those four walls, any mummy's boys (players or staff!) won't survive.

Simmo getting an extension was legitimately floated when the boys were having a crack. It’s possible we went a little early on the praise based on a couple of games
Unless they benefit the club because they need to 'bring them home'?
