Go look at when Melbourne changed their list manager. Look at who they have brought to the club in recent years.
Go have a look at what happened to Brisbane when Fagan arrived.
Buckenara became recruiting manager at Hawthorn in 2004
Avoid the definition of insanity by doing the same thing over and over a gain.
If there's no magic formula there is a disaster formula like appointing Mark Neeld coach, Burton head of performance, Carlton sacking coaches every 3 years while board is in turmoil etc etc etc.
