If we recruit another Cook then someone has been a sheep at the wheel...

Hahaha what?

Not sure if you meant that or not...

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.

That's true, but I think that's probably more down to the coach in the end.

They'd be involved with the interviews of the kids at the pointy end of the draft, and I'd assume they make the final decision.

My read is that the Recruiting Manager makes sure they gather as much pertinent info as they can, to make the most informed decision.

With these kids, the info will be there anyway.

Neeld seems to have had a fairly large part in selecting the kids in the 2011 draft (Taggert's letter) and I'd expect that to continue.

True story, we want to pick players with shear determination...

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.

i love supporters who think we can just go out and get whoever we want..like everyone is just dying to come to our club..... I am sure steven wells wants to leave the success of Geelong to come to us...as for Pelchen, why wouldn't he leave a role that has him in charge of everything football at St. Kilda to be a national recruiter answering to Viney and having to go and watch 3-5 footy matches every weekend.

whilst we are at it....why didn't CS call CGU and get them to sponsor us, i'm sure they would have left the filth for us, Also if we had asked Chris scott to coach us this year he would of come...

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?

you gotta start somewhere, every great coach, administrator had a first job in the big leagues

give the poor fella a chance before you bag him out


Especially in a lesser role to the one they are in now...

Relax D2, he's just trying to pull the wool over your eyes

Uhh, you realise this guy is essentially just a spotter, right? This is essentially an entry-level position in to the footy industry for those who don't have a passage in through playing. All the clubs have lots of guys on the payroll like this, both full time and part time, including ours. There's a guy who used to be a regular on Demonland that made his way in to the footy industry this way. The "tried and proven" candidates all have better jobs.

Asking for Pelchen or "the Geelong guy" to fill this role would be like asking for George Calombaris to apply for the role of kitchen hand.

"Lamb choice cut for Dees"

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

Can't be UDG. No mention of his mother-in-law.



I hope for his own saftey that the proposed push by St Kilda to play AFL games in New Zealand, that the MFC don't have a baa of it.

Q. What's the difference between the Melbourne Herald Sun and the New Zealand Herald?

A. The Melbourne Herald Sun runs an article with the heading "Lamb travels across the Tasman to check out talented New Zealanders"...

I thought Y_M got drafted?

Great stuff guys, mature sensible footy talk in this thread - give a bloke a fair go before you judge him.


???? i don't get that one :wacko:

Actually I think he's herd enough ;)

 

And players that can kick the bloody thing well. I'm sick of our blokes that continually shank it.

Lamb Nee'ds to search out amongst the farming community, if he's to find players who can kick like a Mule, or has bite, like a Crocodile.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
