Dees cut recruiter Gary Burleigh

[DeeSpencer 25,000]

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.

[DemonOX 8,743]

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

Won't be missed.

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 ?

Not sure why nutbean we have not been able to pick our nose for a decade.

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.

[ChaserJ 4,836]

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.

[ChaserJ 4,836]

Although one spot may be taken. George Stone has said goodbye to Sydney:

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.
