According to Jay Clark on twitter

He's one of 2 National recruiting officers who work under Jason Taylor.

Most interesting thing is the timing so close to the draft. Not sure what kind of contract he had etc but you'd think recruiters would work calendar year and you wouldn't let one go no matter how much you agreed with his ideas until after the draft.

    odd timing if nothing else

    probably nothing in it

    Maybe timing makes sense as there are no more games to watch and much less players to interview and data to crunch. If you like a guys work rate but don't really rate his judgement then it could be the time to move him on.

    Yeah, that data has been gathered, but Burleigh wouldn't be the one to make any real decisions from here on in.

    By virtue of his involvement during such a poor period of drafting, I have had to question his ability.

    Pretty hard to get any idea whatsoever from the outside, anyway.

    I had no idea who he was prior to getting the flick.

    Won't be missed.

    Care factor?

    Not sure, but Essendon would want a first round draft pick..

    I need to ask - if you dont know who he was , then how do you know he wont be missed ?

    I think the timing is significant - I would be culling a recruiter after the PSD but at worst after the ND. His timing is worrying ?

    Was a Fremantle Scout before joining us

    Not sure why timing matters as if you find someone unsuitable to the job what would waiting achieve ?

    Jackson doesnt strike me as someome who procrastinates

    sounds to me like PJ is trying to instill a culture where the entire staff knows you need to be pulling your weight or you are straight out. The timing of it is a bit of a statement on how serious he is. Just a guess of course.

    I know it"s getting a bit late & I should defer to your 3394 posts but are you really sure he's Robinson Crusoe ?

    Hope the Board & Coach are getting a say on the playing " staff " for example. Just a guess of course !

    Pretty sure I read that he was Prendergast's right hand man when BP was head recruiter. It's been a fair turnover of recruiting staff in the last 2 years.

    no I am not 'really sure' because I didn't say that. Pretty obvious that Roos and the board would be advising PJ as to who is and isn't doing their jobs properly at the club. Obvious enough not to say.

    Graeme Yeats has left the Stingrays after 10 years coaching. He apparently wants to get into recruiting. I’d say we’d have some vacancies.

    agree - my only conclusion is that it doesnt matter that he goes now - we are better off without him and right now !

    I defer to PJ's judgement. One more used Melbourne staff polo shirt available at an op shop.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
