Not that keen on him but I’m just glad it’s not SOS.
1999-2009 Western bulldogs
2010-2017 Gold Coast Suns
2018-2019 west coast eagles
Brisbane prior to 99.
That's how I have his resume.
Edit: pretty poor selections taking a quick look.
"The Eagles confirmed on Tuesday that Clayton had would take up a newly created football, marketing and administrative role at the club. He will be based in Melbourne."
His previous role suggests he's more a sounding board than anything. Quite happy for luff and Finnegan to make the calls and seek him out for advice/report their reasoning to him.
He reports to Brady?
So North had to make a position for him...Why?.l was under the impression that after Luff we had everyone that was needed.
SOS is better.
Opposite of dearth.Clayton is probably also the "senior mentor" the club has been talking about.
He's certainly experienced.
I'm not suggesting that he walks on water, but it has to be a good appointment consider thedearthsurfeit of young heads we have brought through the door.
Never doubt GRSorry Toes, he begged me to reopen the thread.
So WTF is Head of Player Personnel?
Let's just take a look at the players Gold Coast lost for one reason or another that Clayton recruited.
Lynch
Prestia
May
Caddy
Ablett
Dixon
Bennell
Hall
Lyons
Matera
O'Meara
Saad
Scrimshaw
He can bring them in but not his job to keep them there.
All of the above are still playing and I reckon if they kept those players they would have played finals by now.
Player personnel = football department.
He's the head of the football department.
Sounds like head of HR, but only over players. And if you work in a corporate environment you’ll know HR’s role isn’t to look after people, it’s to prevent the organisation getting sued by its staff as a result of their staff’s actions. (I’m not a fan of HR departments you might detect). Not sure what the role will involve but list management does appear to becoming more complicated with multiple drafts, mid season drafts, live pick trading, academies, points, free agency, not to mention trade, scouting, negotiation with other clubs, players, and agents, and player welfare and ensuring the list are happy and able to deal with any problems they may have in their personal lives. So yeah seems a lot of work involved in managing player personnel and makes sense to have another experienced head in there aside from just identifying talentSo WTF is Head of Player Personnel?
1) My interpretation is based on the fact that the word "player" appears in the title.
2) The word "player", in this context, is "a person who partakes in a game or sport".
3) The "personnel" who oversee "players" in an AFL context, are also referred to as a "football department".
Therefore, you're wrong. I'm sure you'll eventually recover from this setback and get over it.
I truly don't understand this appointment.
He's underwhelming. At.best.
