So from reports this is our new List Manager following Todd Viney moving in to other roles then vacating.
We know about his police background as a detective as well as his footy background, having joined as a recruiter in 2012.
Have we skilled him in useful tools for the position:
1. Contracts
2. Negotiation
3. Analytics
Clubs are hiring former player managers (see Collingwood with Ned Guy) as they understand the contract and negotiation. St Kilda hired a former Investment banker because he knows contracts, knows how to negotiate outcomes and knows how to interpret data.

Josh Mahoney gets a lot of credit/blame at this time of the year because he's the public face of the club during the trade period but he's not necessarily the main decision maker.
Anyone else got any information or opinions?
