In press release said Edwards has been doing some recruiting stuff over last few years , I wonder Bicks if you were aware of this and any feedback on.

There are several articles floating around indicating he's been working with the Richmond list management and recruiting team for the last 3-4 years.

 

[WeeBlake]

No, he’s not the most accountable. He’s the instrument of the List Management committee. Roo leads it, then you have Nix, Kelly and quite likely a couple of admin staff. Fagan and the bean counter used to be on it, so presumably those roles still are.

Reid is the public face of the incompetence of the committee.

He’s not involved in identifying and assessing talent, at least of draftees, is my understanding of his role. His job is deals.

 

[D Style]

all we care about is winning

i dont want to win one flag - I want to win again and again and again

i dont care who does it, how its done, if your name is john reid, arthur, martha, humpty dumpty, father christmas - I havent got forever........ not do I want to pay gold membership investment again and again for no return

in all reality the recruitment team have performed worse than reid. reid took some time to find his feet and lose his brashness. he is certainly not the best nor the worst.

kelly nicks over to you - if this group doesnt make the 8 please move on. we cant keep blaming the playing list.

I get your point...............but boy what I would give for just ONE MORE flag........

I'd be surprised if he didn't have some input into who we draft albeit minor given his background in player management.

 

[WeeBlake]

Maybe minor.
A player managers’ job is to negotiate deals for their players, and handle player movement. Makes sense to hire an ex-player manager to be the negotiator for a club on the other side of those deals. Not so much sense to have a deal-maker doing talent assessment, or making calls about list needs etc

Just to be clear you are referring to Justin Reid yeah?

Yeah, I saw an insta story earlier this month about him going in for a shoulder surgery of some kind. I don't think it was a reco though.

It was on his instagram stories about fixing his shoulder. Didn't look like anything major. Though it did look like the shoulder bone was protruding out.

Stuck his arm up to quickly and popped his shoulder when they asked the group who wanted to take over from Sloane as captain.

It looked pretty uncomfortable. I commented on his IG story post about the story and this was his response:

 

[Mr_Moogle]

It was absolutely disgraceful of the club to play a guy injured when it's clear we weren't making finals. No wonder his form dropped off.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

It was reported Doedee had been carrying injuries for at least half a season ......didn't stop many wanting to trade him, or saying he wasn't much chop ....try taking overhead marks with a bung shoulder

Yet other favourites who are in bad form .....oh, they must be injured ....even though half the time they're not injured at all ....just out of form

I remember McGregor was “apparently” injured for 2 years

Kane Cornes on Rory Sloane

Adelaide

Cornes: “The South Australian clubs would be thinking about a change as well. I doubt whether Rory Sloane will captain the club off the ACL he’s had and his form has been an issue. Tom Doedee is the obvious choice for me.”

Then Bickley is in the paper today saying Sloane should be the Captain until he retires.

Yes I've noticed there is a small contingent of people that really don't like Doedee. I'm not in that crowd.

He's amazing at saying stuff that makes me feel intense rage.

 

[Jetafl]

For me it's 23 or 32. But best number 6 T Modra and best number 52 goes without saying.

Godra took a shit number and made it cool. (6)

Gallucci took a cool number and made it shit. (7)

 

[dogs105]

Fair enough.




As long as he retires before the season starts.

Yep Bruce Lindsay was amazing, and some good uns have followed from then.

Absolute joke comparing him to Selwood

And yet we had posters defending the club about not playing Worrell sooner
