Thing is, how do you know how good a dev coach is? Brown's in his second year, highly rated before he came over and we won't see the fruits of what he's doing for at least a couple of years yet. Don't know how long Dyer's been in the job, and Bulldog Moore seems pretty switched on.Would replace our development coaches first.
The recruiting team is seen as a pretty good one within footy circles.

Based on this, god help us with Gaff then. He's the most introverted Eagle. I think the comment is a bit over the top fellas.Agree completely with this. And its why I think we have struggled to turn games/seasons around. (I know there are other factors including a major one in coaching) You do need to get the personality mix right, but there seems to be very few superstar introverts.
Not really. Was promoted from list manager to head of the FD last year, wasn’t he?Hope hes learnt a lot from Gubby
Hes been in his role for a very long time
But I thought Cam Joyce only lands us useless scrubbers like Jed Anderson, Marley Williams, Paul Ahern and Shaun Higgins?Played the long game. And it's not just Gubby. Cam knows our needs and what he can do within his control to address them.
Hitting up Polec mid-year was left field and has been rewarded for the gamble.
Huge efforts from everyone.
He's moved through the ranks at North. He hasn't been in the same position the entire time.Hope hes learnt a lot from Gubby

He's moved through the ranks at North. He hasn't been in the same position the entire time.
Joyce and co. deserve 99% of the credit as they got North into this position. Without them there would have been no Gubby as he wouldn't be required.
Despite Zondor 's Ironstein comments Joyce knows his stuff.

I've already said it but I truly believe what we're seeing now is showing that we've moved on from survival mode and now have the ability to succeed again.People like to piss and moan which is life, but the club is well run, I mean actually well run in a business sense - not plucking footballers from zones for the first time in five or six decades.
To do what they've done with so little is incredible. I sincerely congratulate and thank everyone for their work, and I hope they are rewarded on-field for their efforts.

I only know his name because 2 or so years ago I asked on BF. He is always sitting beside Scotts.
Joyce has done a good job.
People are still looking at this as if it's a player problem, it isn't.
He stays.
I respectfully disagree Snake, he has had a major call on the list over the years and has got a lot of it wrong. Retaining plodders for too long and completely ruining their market value and the balance of the list. All the missed targets, will give him the kudos on the Polec deal though.
Not saying he is the sole reason, but he is apart of the boys club and has played a major role in the mess we find ourselves in. Want him gone personally.

Okay mate.
All things considered, where has he gone wrong over the last 3 seasons, and remember to take in to account players he went after, but couldn't land for reasons beyond his control?
IMO everyone in this "boys club" needs to go regardless. It is a cancer on our club.
