Maybe, just maybe, it would force those in positions of seniority to be critical and honest in their appraisal of those who report to them.
Though I have the feeling those in positions of seniority are so incompetent that they believed they were doing those things when appraising those who...
What are the contract terms for those taken in the mid-season draft? Do they get signed just for the rest of the current season, or do they get a year and a half?
More money and the challenge of fixing our disastrous football department might do it. If he did come and managed to turn things around, it'd be a pretty big feather in the cap and one that could see him start being considered for CEO roles at clubs (assuming he's not at that level already).
The local player talked about as being in first round contention last year who had an injury hampered year yet still managed to average 2.5 goals a game in the SANFL versus the guy nobody has heard of who may well have been available in the rookie draft. That's why.
I will also say, that...
He was talked about a lot as a potential first round pick last year, so yes.
I'm happy to give Ogilvie the benefit of the doubt and if he pulls this one off, he's a genius. However, the comparisons with Taheny are going to start immediately and rightfully so.
He really should be continuing the work of the late Stephen Hawking instead of wasting time at the AFC. We need to release him for the benefit of the world.
Certainly understand that fear, but I also don't want us locking in a so-so candidate for 3-4 years.
The soft-cap on Football Department spending is supposed to be an equalisation measure, but I'd also be willing to bet it has saved quite a few coaches and senior staff members who are not up to...
The notion of underspending one year and overspending the difference the next year without incurring a tax on said difference isn't so radical as to be outside the realms of possibility.
The AFC seems to be a little like a government department in this regard. If you're good at your job, you'll end up with two or three jobs to help mask the incompetence they can't get rid of that surrounds you.
Interestingly, this info came from a senior player.
Maybe playing favourites? It would probably be hard not to when you've been at the club for a decade.
I'd like to see Shuttleworth's exact role description. If he's responsible for guiding our PR strategy, he should have been given his marching orders a ****ing long time ago.
Will not be naming names, but apparently he was a big problem with the players. This actually surprised me, as I had always thought he was well liked by the playing group.
So it starts off with Vozzo and ends up with some guy from the SANFL nobody had heard of 3 days ago.
It's pretty much the same as our trade period rumours.
If the Sheedy rumour is anything more than rumour, it may not even be for the Head of Football role. He could easily fill the newly created Leadership & Culture role with his experience as well.
Look at who sits on our board. Then ask yourself which of those people is going to question or go against Mark Ricciuto, AFC Legend/Director of Football, when it comes to football related matters and appointments.
