While i don't love what I'm hearing from Pies supporters about him, I'll trust the new regime until they let me down. Can see him taking over Richo or Lamb in the next 12 months. Both probably won't be there much longer.

Spot on, except I don't think he'd still be there if his contract wasn't until end of next year.

Wish we weren't a dumping ground for AFL/bigger club failures but I guess here we are.

Yeah. We seem to end up with a number of failures who are still part of the boys club so get a gig manufactured.
Have no idea why people even talk about merit selection. The same way you talk about heaven or Utopia. Both sound nice, nobody has seen them

Utopia, the working dog comedy? Criminally under viewed, yes. But I wouldn't say nobody has seen it, even if it was on the ABC!!!

I've decided I'm a bit split on this, mostly due to the muddy waters of the title of the role. I look at it this way...
Footy side of things - No thanks. Doesn't seem to have much experience with the on field stuff or heading up coaching and/or football departments. Hopefully we're still looking to replace Richo in this space.
List management side - Incredible get in terms of IP. This is a bloke who would have had eyes across every meaningful player contract in the league. At a time where (IMO) we need to now be trying to target 22-26 year olds, that could be a huge weapon for us. Plus, at a crucial time, he would bring inside knowledge of what Tassie will be given over the next few years so could help us navigate that better.
In saying all that, let's hope he learned from his experience at Collingwood where he basically sacrificed his job because of the decisions he had to make after failing to stand up to the board.

Why is it whenever we get one of these sacked guys from a bigger club the first thing I see written is "poached"
Poached from what? Unemployment?

TBF, in this case he was actually poached from the AFL.

I take it back. But man the way the media phrase it, your common idiot like me reads it as 'Guess who Melbourne stole out of Collingwood' with a photo of him in pies gear in all caps "POACHED". It's almost like they're trying to rage bait pies fans too

I'm just wondering where we are getting all this soft cap money from for all these new people whilst also paying out Goody.

I thought the club said that was all taken care of now and soft cap won’t be impacted next year. But I thought same as you initially.

I discussed with Lord Nev just after how I was mislead on social media by badly worded/advertised posts and unaware he was working at the AFL

And you had a good point about how often that 'poached' term (or similar) gets thrown around too!

one of the most disingenuous blokes in the business. I can't wipe the infamous pies interview when he traded out a prime Treloar and when asked why he said 'we really wanted to get some good picks in' or something to that effect. He treated everyone like clowns.
Had remnants of Goodie telling Dunstan he saw him playing a key role in our midfield. Just lying through their teeth these guys.

Didn't he take the fall for Eddie's Dayne Beams salary cap blow out? Thus why he ended up in the cushy AFL house job.

Can you quote exactly where that was said?Had remnants of Goodie telling Dunstan he saw him playing a key role in our midfield. Just lying through their teeth these guys.
The interview with him at the time was him basically saying he moved for the culture (lol), and Goody told him he thought he could improve. Doesn't sound much like "you're playing a key role" to me. Source then?

Not anymore. wouldnt have a clue where that video is now. but I remember it pretty vividly. They were definitely whispering sweet nothings to him. I mean he left stkilda to get more opportunities. It featured his manager heavily.

Righto, well the actual interviews I've found don't say anything of the sort.
So it sounds like a "trust me bro" setup for you.

lashing out coz u can't find it..? not my problem if you cant find it. People know the video i'm referring to.'Show me the money'. A series on Stan.
If you've only found interviews then you havent even seen it so pipe down. Crazy to have a go at someone when you havent it seen the show...
