Would of Love to see him in the Melbourne Chair Come Draft time.

Who is our head recruiter?

Is any one actually worried we might not have a proven recruiter with a good track record next to his name?.

Posted (edited)

We looked at this several months ago. Worth discussing again IMO. Isn't Rendell now at Coll? What's happening with the 2IC at Coll who is supposedly coming to us? Are we largely going to be led by Tod Viney and Tim Harrington going into this draft? Now we only have a couple of 2012 games to go, the draft must be a major priority.

Edit: Interesting that many have bagged Prendegast for his legacy, yet no one has commented on Harrington part in our list selection.

Quite agree with that, it was farcical when we had to ask listed players to go back on the Rookie List so we could draft other players without having to delist any of the "Stars" that BP recruited.

Yep, he must come under scrutiny and yes we should have pushed for Rendell, I don't think he has signed on at Collingwood.

My recollection is that Collingwoods Recruiting 2 IC - Jason Taylor? - will assume role of Recruiting Head after the draft and Viney will return to his GM Player Development Role.

Taylor wanted to join Neeld at Melbourne but was made by the Pies to serve out the final year of his contract.

Well let's hope that Taylor is really [censored] off with the Pies and leaves them with a load of rubbish. I guess as a professional, he won't, but one can but dream.

But seriously, this IS our most important draft and I hope that any potential perceived conflict of interest on Todd's part does not effect adversely on his calls, either by being "too easy" or overcompensating and being too harsh on the JV call.

I'm sure that's why JMac was delisted because there were very few players out of contract. We had to free up the list to be active in the National Draft. Very poor list management during that period.

Taylor is definitely on Coll's staff list still. No mention of Rendell on it, though. I was under the impression Rendell had been poached by Bucks. If Taylor's future is with us, why doesn't he just resign and leave? Everyone in AFL circles gets poached if they are good and has to break a contract at some point. Neeld did it to come to us, Malthouse did it to go to the Pies (and broke it to leave them). Could it be deemed a restraint of trade to force him to stay? As many have said, this could be a make or break draft for the Dees.

Rendell? [censored] no ... why have someone like him when you can have a past champion there to call out the name of his own son in the most important draft in the club's history?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
