Hi Guys, Who do you think has been the best recruitment officer for us? NO sarcasm pepes!

This is a major failure obviously of late...but who would we have back or go for?

Thoughts..

Just hire the best. It is irrelevant as to whether they have worked for us before.

I would highly doubt it anyway.

 

The bloke that recruited Craig Turley would be a giant improvement.

The late Jim Cardwell aside, I reckon I know the answer to this and it would certainly set the cat amongnst the pigeons. Or squab.

Craig Cameron > Barry Prendergast if that's where you were going.

But for the uninformed we replaced Prendergast last year with Jason Taylor from Collingwood who was still contracted so Viney headed up recruiting for the year (possibly with Taylor involvement I suppose).

At this stage Kent, Matt Jones and Terlich all look nice finds to go with Viney and Toumpas. There's a lot of debate about Toumpas but we all realise he'll be a player if he gets developed right we just have to not panic. Clisby from the rookie list goes ok as well and we gave away a pick for Hogan. Now that's 7 names, 3 of which are best 22 (M. Jones, Terlich, Viney), 2 of which should be next year (Hogan, Toumpas) and 2 (Clisby and Kent) look pretty good. Not to mention Dawes who we traded for.

Hope springs eternal but we have to hope we've got some improved recruiting.

... Or better yet, maybe take a leaf out of Geelong & Collingwood's book and learn how to develop players.

 

agree. Keep them in a "winning culture".

Let the kids all play for Casey this year. Do not expose them to this oppression.

The failures stem from the prendergast years. Last year our recruiting team was depleted, however their late selections of Kent, jones and terlich were first class. The addition of Jason Taylor (Collingwood valued him highly and refused to let him go until the completion of the most recent draft period) gives me plenty of hope. This is one area the club has right.


You might laugh, but I reckon the best recruiter we had was C. Schwab. Got Viney, Warren Dean, Spalding, Steven Stretch amongst others over a two year period from interstate, and they made a massive difference for us in '87. Perhaps he should have stuck to a career in recruiting!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
