You reminded me to look back on that draft

Gee there were some good gets available and of course some duds before and after. West Coast selected Ebert with their 2nd pick - Masten 205 games - was pick 3 1 after Cotchin

Rioli at 12 Picks 17, 18 and 19 were great

And a lesson for some Port took a ruck at 16 - Lobbe

Rendell said we was also very keen on Rioli but he absolutely tanked his interview - I think I heard Horks put him up to it.

That said, Danger after Cotchin was 2nd on Matty R talent list

 

[baldandbroke]

... the crows live rent free in that head of his.

And visa-versa ?

Any linkage to Rendells infamous comments? ie did this meeting impact his thinking

Rocco Ricciuto

Be careful what you wish for, I wouldn't be suprised if the Club didn't move Roo from the board role to that role just to keep him involved.

 

[Slime Roy]

After the out-and-out success of the Frampton acquisition Collingwood (presumably the same staff member) has decided to target Justin Reid.
What a boon this trade period is shaping up to be!

 

[Danger in Texas]

Damn, Reid’s the one guy in the footy department I don’t have in the hot seat. Would be a loss

Atleast he has been out of the club for a while.

 

[Mutineer]

Fabulous character ....stays out after training talking to supporters, way more than any other player

I don't disagree though, he's footy immature .....I can't see him leaving ESS though

Good, they can keep him, if we're going to spend decent draft collateral to replace Rob he ain't it.

 

[Scorpus]

The loss isn't the just an issue (although I'd argue 10 years is probably long enough), we can't seem to bring people in, so who the hell replaces him.

Yep it would be an absolute disaster for us. Can barely attract an assistant coach let alone a list manager.

It's one of those roles that if we want to replace and upgrade, we'd need to be working on hiring someone for years

 

[Shifty Crow]

Atleast he has been out of the club for a while.

And spent several years as a player agent

You know if Collingwood's chasing him he's highly rated in the industry.

 

[Shifty Crow]

Don’t forget Reid is based in Melbourne - it makes sense to continue to base the role in Melbourne, or Adelaide

We wouldn’t necessarily have to convince someone to move to Adelaide

I would hope Reid would be upfront with the club and that if the rumour is true the club is already aware of interest to move and have at least started looking.

at least it is after the draft.

If you can’t see Reid is our best performed staff member in the recruiting and list management space then I don’t know what to tell you

... and yet Andrew Mackie jumps into the role at Geelong and doesn't miss a beat?

Surely we can attract someone to this role, must be a sought after one right?

Collingwood from memory is a club not afraid to go over the soft cap to get their desired person.

At least list managers are based in Melbourne , makes it easier to fill and it’s also a desired role

Dom Ambrogio anyone?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Dom Ambrogio anyone?

Why would he leave other than money ?

 

[Mutineer]

The challenge? ;-)

 

[crow2crow]

Draper is arguably a worse kick than ROB. His second efforts are nowhere near as good, and Rob has him covered for hit outs to advantage. It’s really odd, because the multiple bombers fans I know can’t stand him. Either way. he doesn’t make us better.

theres no arguably about it. he is a worse kick than ROB.

do not want him verbatim

 

[Betts are off]

But they will - with good coaching and development - be quicker up the ladder than most

Maybe but not sure this is sound for them. But I dont rate experience that much that you get a cooked player just because experience

IMO you need experienced players to keep competitiveness within the group and protect the high end youth from years of floggings, and the damage that causes to their psyche. Otherwise you get a GC Suns situation, where the players has no idea how to win, despite their outrageously high average draft status.

Also, the good coaching/development is an assumption based on their earned goodwill from the Hardwick/Gale era. However neither has been proven yet for the Yze/Richardson era. They would want to hope they nail this draft, as the crop below the experienced players hasn't showed all that much thus far.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

The challenge? ;-)

I got a feeling Reid will want to see it through a bit longer but it’s a big job offer for sure and might be too good to refuse
