Would Emma Quayle make a good recruiting manager?

I have been reading through some posts and there are quite alot on recruitment, super drafts, compensation picks, who should be interviewed ect and most of these seem to all mention the name Emma Quayle.

She seems to know the up coming players inside out, strengths and weaknesses as well as have good knowledge of how all other recruiters in the competition work and there tendencies.

With all this, wouldn't she be a good candidate to be a recruitment manager? She obviously knows how to do her homework.

    I'll jump in. I think she knows her stuff. I suggested elsewhere that she does get a lot of her stuff from a wide selection of recruiting people and these sources would dry up if she were working for a club.

    I think she may also have built relationships with alot of the TAC coaches over the years and be able to get more info then what may be first provided. I am sure alot of TAC coaches may hold back on negative information in relation to players personality and character as they wouldnt want to reduce there players chance of being drafted

    No offence, but she's a journalist.

    Put it this way, if 2 people applied for the job, one was Emma and the other was Todd Viney, who would you chire?

    If the 2 applicants were Emma and Phat Phil on the other hand, I'd be re-advertising.

    Seriously? Emma Quayle, as recruiting is actually her specialty.

    Emma has had a decades experience in analyzing youngsters and draft prospects and has a good track record of predicting the draft opposed to Todd who acts as a fill in guy for whatever role is needed?

    What my post is indicating is that I'd rather a "fill-in" like TV, than a qualifed journalist like EQ.

    What's wrong with that bloke from Collingwood that we are trying to poach? Would you prefer Emma over him?

    Actually, I wouldn't be against me over Emma, if you know what I mean... B)

    If I were you, I would be running for cover about now.

    As for recruiters, with the amount of "expertise" among the posters here on Demonland, I think the club need only stick their nose in occasionally and get it done for free.

    Her good track record on prediction comes from talking to those who do the actual bidding.

    However I will not dismiss her as quickly as others.

    I take onboard Nasher's comment that she is good at articulating what she is hearing but I also know she does do a fair amount of her own "scouting". She has experience in watching recruiting teams so maybe this could translate into doing.

    She does make good judgements from the brief reading of her stuff.

    If footballers can play for 10 years and be exposed to enough media that they can cross from footy to media who is to say a savvy journalist who is not only skilled at interpreting others information but also gleaning knowledge first hand and has years of focusing on recruiting cant make the cross from journalism to recruiter.

    I'd prefer a real recruiter. Todd Viney is not a real recruiter. Neither is Emma Quayle, but she at least has significant experience in the talent-scouting industry.

    So Chook, are you saying we have made the wrong decision putting TV in the role that he is currently in? I hope you're wrong, as I'm sure Todd, you, me, Emma Quayle, and Blind Freddy know that watching the form of any potential AFL draftee happens well before draft day. If we're activated our compo picks for this years "super draft", we'd want to get the bloody thing right.

    I'd prefer her to stay doing what she is doing. She's the best sports journalist in the country.

    Only insofar as there are people who would do the job better than him. He's probably the best guy we currently have to do the job, so for now, he'll do.

    she could possibly make a good beuracrat.

    im not suggesting Emma Quayle to pick up a footy and get drafted herself.

    No she has had a decade experience second handing the comments of others who can and do recruit.

    I'd back Todd miles before Emma.

    Social media is a very useful tool for spotting/listing talent in AFL footy- its very hard to keep "secrets" in modern day football.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
