sheesh... that many... I wonder how many of mine have been relevant to the discussions I have been involved in...

 

[SBYM]

Guys….reeeeelax….

I'm just saying we only dribble s**t most of the time…not all of the time...

 

[Dramoth]

Speak for yourself

I'm guessing I'm not part of such group. I don't dribble, it gushes out of me.

 

[Snoozer]

Lol... bollocks is a handy word.

In response to the rest of the nuffies in this thread, yes, it is plainly obvious their drafted players have ability (did that really need clarification?? )... just like the likes of Jordan Russell, Paul Bower and numerous other poorly developed players at Carlton, but if you reckon most Geelong players would be anywhere near the players they are if it weren't for Ling, Enright and Scarlett setting and enforcing the standard, you're kidding yourselves. It's the old adage 'Talent will only take you so far'.

And anyway, who's to say this guy will be any good? There's every chance it will be akin to the spillover effect of a successful premiership team where the vultures circle over bit-part players, and you end up recruiting a Justin Blumfield or Chris Heffernan, and that this guy has been riding the coat-tails of his teammates. He might have been good at making Stephen Wells' coffees.

Anyhow, good luck to him.

Due dilligence, 3 premierships and 14 years under the best recruiter in the business is a pretty good pedigree. Your cynicism is disappointing to say the least.

Personally, I'd rather be a cynic and question the/any decision than blindly accept that it's a good appointment. But that's just me. If you're good, why oh why do you spend 14 years as someone's deputy? Then accept a position at another club... as a deputy?!?! And who does the due diligence, the same blokes who farcically removed the coach last year, not 12 months after renewing his contract??

It may well be a masterstroke, and I hope it is, but there are questions to be asked.

Well... this is an interesting turn of events, isn't it?

Gone to Richmond.

Gone to Richmond.

As 2IC?

As 2IC?

Not sure.

But I think 'personal reasons' may not explain the situation accurately as to why he left if he is employed by another club so soon. I'm a bit surprised he didn't go back to Geelong though because I doubt he's been given the head job at Richmond.

 

[thylacine60]

This guy been hit by the Libba stick?

 

[Weiterbot23]

So what's the scoop?

 

[Silvagnis]

Williams was interested in the intellectual property that viewed Vickery, Griffiths and Conca as the best available players.

I don't quite get why he left Geelong in the first place for another 2IC's position.
Seems very strange now that he would go to another club and still not get the RM's gig.
Maybe he doesn't want the final call on players.

 

[Keyza]

Got over his personal issues quickly.

 

[Silvagnis]

If Carlton are allegedly obsessed with hiring ex-Filth personnel, then we can say the same about Richmond.

Shank Grigg.
Shaun Hampson.
Luke Williams.
Ross Young.

Is Mick responsible for the hiring and firing at Carlton?

 

[thylacine60]

Heard MM and his lieutenants work at opposite ends of VISY. Pretty sure...

 

[LemmingMaster]

Annoying that he left the blues, would love to know the recruiting issues he had with the club.

Looks like he is having alot more say than what some at the club think he should,But I suppose its micks ship and he will live or die by his decisions
Time will tell
