Great pickup

Hope he can teach them to lay a tackle if nothing else

Doubt it, but he'll just be happy to be there and have a job like the rest of his workmates. That's all that matters.

How long’s Pav signed up to be Sydney’s CEO I wonder?

… surely Freo are already asking the question??

He was senior assistant at Souths who just won a flag, thought we all wanted flag experienced coaches?

Interesting Pav has taken an out of state footy job but has never taken a Freo Directorship or admn position.

 

[David Bubb]

Absolutely outrageous comments from a lot of people here, so Freo should never hire a former player because that would make it a boys club? How about he has done a great apprenticeship, has a great footy brain, and is looking to be a very good coach. Jesus you people are miserable

 

[Tundrawolf]

Wasn’t a big fan of Curley when he was at Souths, but Mayne had Souths defence absolutely humming all year. Massively rated at Freo Oval and among the WAFL in general.

 

[Quay Club]

Welcome home Screech!

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Mayne is a great pick-up for a development coach unless someone can show why not. Highs and lows of footy with his form, Pies treatment and pulling it all back. Was a smart forward and not athletically gifted and has done at least a part apprenticeship somewhere else.

Welcome back Mayney

 

[David Bubb]

 

[s_wd6]

Nothing Freo love more than shuffling around existing personnel into new roles. There’s at least 5 ever year

 

[PrancingPony]

I know people at the Perth Demons who spoke very fondly of Mayne when he was recently there, got a good brain and was really good with helping mentor the younger guys.

I don't know about you but I reckon he's good enough for a development coach spot.

 

[FreoBraddles]

Okay, very good pick up (job change)!

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Hmmm, I'm not thrilled at losing the leaders of a division because we appeared to not want to keep them to then promote the people underneath them...

They photocopied all of the previous admins notes, nothing to stress about

[Superkoops]

Still searching for Head of strength and Conditioning.

 

[estibador]

So whoever it was in the injury thread who had the mail we were letting Merriman go to promote someone with overseas experience was spot on.

A quick look at Beard's history shows he's been head of performance for the British Lions, (1 year), the Welsh national rugby team (6 yrs), the Cleveland Browns (NFL, 4 yrs), and the Chicago Cubs (MLB, 4 yrs).

This is certainly not some wet behind the ears assistant being promoted up through the internal ranks.

There’s a few on here (not you) thinking that blokes are going to come from the East coast & work in the development department.
Keep sooking, our selection pool is far shallower than clubs over east & you’ll be sooking for as long as you support this club.

It sounds like Beard was less of an underling and more of a director/mentor/innovation type role

Still sounds like jobs for the boys to me.

How? Please explain and include Beard's CV while you do it. Then after that point out some individuals you would have hired on the basis of "we don't know you".
