Footy Dept. Talent & Operations Manager Matt Rosa

I think you're mixing Freezer and Ferry into one. I think the two had one combined year over a 5 year period haha.

uh yep, good call. Freezer was close to draft able imho

I know Essendon and Carlton hired people to head up an analytics team 2 years ago.

Before that I don’t believe either team had anything.

I believe it comes out of soft cap spending so outsourcing a lot makes sense to some degree given the cost of really good data people.

Thanks for the reply.

Can’t access it but from that shot why is he sitting in a car park? We really should give him a better office

"Yeah he's a contracted player and he's been playing some really good footy this year"

Equals you will need to cough up a little more than your first offer

Loves the line 'We'll see where that lands.'

Best thing I have heard him say. In one of the trade radio interviews he mentioned we are looking for more running power.

Congratulations Matt on getting some clear air. Good luck mate.

Seems to present in a measured fashion which differentiates him from about half the other list managers in the AFL who either present as sleazy used car salesmen or sweaty nerds.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

I'd be interested to know what they do as from what I can tell the in-house people at AFL clubs don't have the expertise to do anything meaningful with all the data they generate, and so they often get in outside people (my brother has done some of this work with a few teams).

What's your brother's job title? I ask this because that's exactly what I do in my line of work and I'd love to explore the idea of doing that for a footy team.

He's an academic working in econometrics. I think he did the footy related work either as part of research or maybe freelance, not sure.

i agree with others

Doesn't need a jacket... needs a horse!!!!

Maybe Harvs and Sheeds can get a yearling to name after him

 

[Shanghaistu]

What’s the early take on Rosa versus his superstar predecessor? maybe by now Dodo would have given the Package and Lav 5-year contracts and sent off our current and future 1st and second rounders for Luke Parker

Massive big swinging dick move with the puffer jacket on a 28deg day.

WHO YOU CALLING JACKETS NOW

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Is it just me or is Essendon enamoured with West Coast's No. 24?

Woosha, Rosa and Xavier O'Neill.

Better make a move on Harvey Johnston in the next few years.

Also, IIRC, Luke Partington
