Bit under half the list isn't it. Its the most from any one particular state, but there are more players on our list from other states.
Not sure if the argument is supported by the numbers already there, or are you're saying we need more WA talent?
19 out of 44 from the current senior and rookie list.

There are a lot more players from WA than from Victoria

Which other non-Vic club bases its list manager in Victoria?
I personally believe that Rosich and Lyon working together would make a more formidable list management duo than Lloyd.

Yeah but the argument seemed chicken & egg.
We need a list manager based in WA because most of the players on our list are from WA.
We have acquired a list of players, the majority being from WA, with a list manager not based in WA.
In the US, list managers (GM'S) are usually based in the city where their team is.
With technology I don't think it matter where a list manager lives.
All I want is to get the best person for the job and let them stay wherever they want to live.
As for recruiters, I do think 40% of recruiters should be based in Victoria, 30% WA, 20% SA, 10% for the NEAFL.

Rosich said on 882 today that they had short-listed several candidates for the role and hope to announce a replacement for Lloyd shortly.

But we don't have an expert, he's gone to Carlton. So it would be Rosich who Lloyd reported to, or have one of the cobblers elevated to acting head of cobbling operations.
Not all cobblers can be the head of cobbling operations though... Being handy with leather, glue and hammer isn't the same as ensuring you manage leave requests and things to ensure enough thongs are made for the peak of thong season, or having feisty conversations with both purchasing and the head bean counter who have found an inferior nail that is sooo much cheaper - but they keep breaking and affecting the quality of you cobbled products etc.
Lloyd reported to Rosich, so Rosich has a handle on the big parts of the job, though he would not have a handle on all the small detail. It's not a permanent thing, it is until the role is filled, basically someone has to rubber stamp the travel allowances, ensure paper work and stuff is done so that the recruiting team can keep going to games and training sessions, talk to coaches and mentors, pour over medical reports and stuff.
There is the issue of the pointy end of the recruitment year, trades/draft that are coming up. Determining the use of our draft picks etc is different to rubber stamping forms for the cobblers under you. Maybe we have the position filled in time for that? Even then, will they be in the role long enough? I would presume that they wouldn't have full freedom for this draft because they aren't there long enough, so Ross/Bond and probably Rosich would be fully involved. Maybe easier just to let Ross/Bond/Rosich do this draft and have the position filled afterwards?

Walls has been doing much of the recruiting in recent years. They have a team there. Lloyd led the team. Now Rosich is filling in while they appoint a replacement. This is pretty much a non topic.

It doesn't matter what other clubs do . The Dockers for their circumstances decided it would be good to have their List Mgr based in Melbourne and I support that decision.

Thinking more about this. Believe Rosich is the interim is that the new list manager may be from a Finals side.

It does matter what other clubs do. If we’re less effective at list management than them then we will underperform on the field.
Here’s the one from 6PR yesterday.

I think we are going a bit overboard here. Steve Rosich would be completely reliant on the recruitment department, he'd have next to 0 input. The entire reason he has taken this position is because they clearly have someone in mind to take over the role who can't take the job yet. So rather then give it to someone from within the department and then take it away in a couple months time he takes the job to avoid any hurt feelings. A little unprofessional? Maybe but still I highly doubt Rosich is gonna go rouge. He is a businessman not a football person/
Its perfectly normal for a CEO to pick up the responsibilities for a GM in the short term while a new GM is found. Especially if the GM replacement isn't going to come from within the organisation. There is way less disruption to the existing teams that way.
Also far, far better for Rosich to be acting List Manager than, say, Lyon or Bond. Doing so would be an appalling conflict of interest given that Football Operations will be under pressure to improve results in 2019 (rightly so too!) but List Management needs to take a longer term view.

Considering how Rosich has been colouring his hair lately I think a bit of rouge might go quite nicely.
Yea, you either embrace yer grey or thinning\baldness or follow trump and have orange and comb overs.

Popcorn time
Beware the thinly disguised Silverback list manager.

He was asked about this on 720 on Saturday and said he did have previous experience in the role. Which is encouraging. But I still want the new guy (or girl) appointed asap and definitely before trade week.

The delay in appointment might not mean the recruiter is from a finals team. THey did say they have a shortlist, they'd be working through the process. Any potential appointee would still have to give notice to their existing club and render their notice period.

Seems like a bunch of cobblers to me.
