I thought he was going to play a pivotal role in the working group tasked with getting the home base project off the ground. Or was that just BS.

And I didn't know Richardson "replaced" him. I would have preferred Richardson get the a**e. I like the pick trading Mahoney has been doing and wouldn't be surprised if he pulls another rabbit out of the hat tomorrow.

I kinda think that the rabbits in the hat are going to be flapping their ears rather energetically for the Mahoney grab - he has been progressively 'nabbing' a team of recruits, producing 'a destination Club' atmosphere in terms of potential. He certainly has been doing his job well, very well overall. The cue card is out. It is time for the retained Goodwin to better oversight player development to match Mahoney's performances.

He can play a crucial role until he quits the club to take up a better job.

Mahoney is a competent operator who does a good job filling gaps but he doesn’t have the high level footy smarts to take the list, the coaching and the culture to the top level.

I don’t know if Richardson does either. But he is a whole more experienced in footy and it’s easier to get someone up to speed with the admin requirements than it is to truly know footy. I’d rather have Richo in a coaching role and find a true head of footy but it’s hard to have it all under the current financial restraints. 

People give Mahoney too much credit for trading up picks. It’s hardly all that complicated. And largely it’s either taking a huge risk or at best defying the analytics that says trading down is far better value.

This is like some kind of movie. In fact, get Netflix onto this now - literally from the day Choco enters the building.
