Looks like we're doing even more to beef up our recruiting dept.

This role puts Lamb as a fulltime national recruiter, alongside Gary Burleigh.

Both report directly to Todd Viney.

I'm still hoping we can snaffle Derek Hine's assistant at the pies to boot...

    That's right. You don't have a clue.

    I like the sound of this.

    So we've recruited a cop...might be just what we need to interrogate potential draftees to see who really is dedicated to being elite in their profession and who would be committed to their club!

    maybe they hired a cop to get to the bottom of the Mifsud/Davey confusion?

    "Lamb choice cut for Dees"

    Ugh, who's the funnyman writing these puntastic titles for these articles, Ugly Dave Gray?

    So does he replace Prendergast, or was his a different title?

    Might also be able to help in some off field issues from time to time.

    No he is a recruiting officer not the head of recruiting. Viney holds that position for this year.

    Better than "Lamb to the slaughter."

    Underwhelmed.

    No experience. A good bloke who has worked with some school teams and ammos. I should have applied.

    Haven't we learned anything? We keep going for rookie coaches and staff like Mahoney etc who learn on the job. We are more desperate than that. We need someone who can tell us what the elite clubs are doing. At least Neeld and Craig can do that.

    What about Pelchen or the Geelong guy?

    Vic Metro assistant 2 years running.

    Can you name any of Geelong or Collingwood's "big name" recruiting officers?

    Pelchen is employed by St Kilda in a much higher role, as is "the Geelong guy" Stephen Wells at Geelong.

    One just started in a role where you'd expect he wants to stay for a while and make his impression, the other firmly entrenched for 20+ years and part of the furniture.

    Not likely.

    I'm led to believe that we have an agreement in place that the Collingwood assistant recruiter Jason Taylor will be announced as our head recruiter at the start of the 2013 season.

    My understanding is that whilst he has accepted to take on the role Collingwood has refused to release him from his contract, going against somewhat of an AFL convention that staff are free to pursue more enticing positions. This is why Eddie came out a few months ago in the media and threw that hissy fit.

    Yep I'd call that no experience in recruiting AFL players. What would you call it?

    Thanks for avoiding my point which is someone learning on the job rather than a tried and proven candidate.

    Have no idea when contracts expire with off-field staff, but don't player's contracts expire at the end of October? If that's the case with staff, that would be pretty convenient coming into the draft.

    Does anyone know if Jason Taylor is any good?

    I'm really not sure of the particulars. Sorry

    Not ideal if we have activated our compensation picks for this year.

    I hope we don't go on to lament this appointment...

    How would we ever know?

    Who criticises Gary Burleigh for the recruitment of Cook or Scully?

    No one I've come across.

    Depends - you'd think the compo picks would be the easy ones to get right.

    The guns will be impossible to keep under wraps and there will be plenty of exposed form to judge them on.

    A good recruiter should really be making the difference late in the draft, finding diamonds in the rough.

    We have managed to miss some picks looking back, getting good players with top ten picks is easy enough. getting the 100% best player at your pick is another thing to get right.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
