Brad Scott's New Gig At AFL House ….. What A Sham !!

[lumpinee]

boring appointment,wasnt successful enough as a coach,never even got to the big one,plenty of others more successful than he was who are now out of the picture.
As mentioned its all about North not having to pay salary

Rapt we don't have to pay him but this campaigner couldn't work the game out when he was coaching, why will that change in this position?

The answer to your question is it doesn't matter because the only reason it happened at all was the first part of your post.

Ive got no problem with Scott in this role (yet), he might be good.

I do have a problem with Steve Hocking and his direction and general decisions.

I'd like to see a corp map with names in each department plus total base salaries and bonuses reported separately.

I'd also like to see who is related to who. Seems to be a fair amount of nepotism at AFL House. Noted the other day two brothers named one being senior and I believe the other working for them.

What industry/company/role do you work in? Unless you are self employed, its not what you know but who you know and your relationships that often dictate your career opportunities. Id imagine the AFL is an extreme example of this given the nature of most appointments.

I work for a crazy rich family with diverse business interests.

I am well and truly aware of how the world works and nepotism. It's the main reason why we don't make the profits we should be making.

Jobs for the boys and family members who really aren't the best people for the job, take the piss and don't really care about poor performance. The money wasted on non performing managers related to the family or related to other managers is astounding.

I suspect the AFL is exactly the same........except as a natural monopoly they make profits.

 

[The King!]

you either join another club, go into the media or work for the afl

he went door number 3

What the fu** is the big deal lol. He coached for a decade and it would be moronic for the AFL to run a business without anyone trying to plan for its future.

The only thing moronic is that we have gillon Mclachlan planning the future.Thats worked well

I played Brad Scott online in a fews games of AFL Evolution 2 and he was one of the worst people i have ever played. I won 17 games to 0 and he sent a letter to the developers as to why i winning. I was then banned from the servers!!!!

gold

Steve Hocking - former Geelong player and head of football.
Brad Scott - brother of Geelong coach.

Things looking good for a home final at Kardinia Park. Expect Chris Scott to pull some funky coaching moves, lose the last two H&A games and finish third (and blame someone else for it).

chris scott to pull some funky moves? no chance he is a dud

The door leading to the Director of Umpiring's office must have been showing "Occupied". That's historically where these types of coaches ended up.

In an ideal world, we should be able to work out who you work for. Sadly it's all too typical.

Brad is a company man through and through - he's already been on plenty if AFL committees and the like. He knows the score.

And yes, some of it helping us with the soft cap implications - and why not, other clubs have had the AFL pay out coaches for them, hardly like it is special treatment for us.

Just need Tom Harley to take Gils job and I'd be pretty content

Dangerfield will probably walk straight into the AFL commission post career and be in charge of the draw .

West Coast fans seem annoyed. No doubt another Victorian conspiracy to keep them down.

I'm not annoyed. But I haven't lived in Perth for 20 years. I really don't care at all. And how will it keep us down?
