This is the first time I have posted on a forum. As a person that was formerly a player involved at the club. i would like to remind people that Phil Smarts last draft was the 2009 National Draft. This was the last draft he had the final call in draft selections(ask Hill , Ballantyne , Fyfe etc). My understanding talking to Brad Lloyd he worked the next 12 months in a part time capacity advising the recruiting department. Everybody at the club knows he had a difference of opinion with Ben Allen and Rick Hart over the selections of Hill and Fyfe. Everybody is now happy Smart got his own way with both these players. In defending Smart there is no doubt the recruiting area and football department is bigger and more professional now . If this results in better drafting time will tell. However Brad Lloyd and Chris Bond are very professional and are doing a good job.

That is the bit in your post that rings alarm bells if true. The idea that a Chairman would have anything at all to do with who is drafted lurks in the Kuiper Belt in terms of appropriate club management. And even then, having a difference of opinion is the way the world works, the decision making and responsibility falls to the guys doing the management.

Unless Cam Schwabb is around.

Hi Peter.

Mann that name rings a Bell

Mann that name rings a Bell

Yeah Mann.

 

[bruzaar62]

only players from 1970 vintage are Peter Mann,Spider Burton,Greg Madigan and Leigh Wardell Johnson my guess is Billy 70 is Peter Mann or Spider

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Does it really matter?

 

[bruzaar62]

does it really matter if people have a guess at who it is ?

Does it really matter?

This. let it go, it's irrelevant.

 

[Freo Shark]

Its also the off season, what else is there to discuss??

If we don't determine whether it's Spider or the Mann, how are we going to investigate the financial performance of companies that have employed him?

Hmmm...Spider or Mann, could he be Fish Pubs arm?

Spider played 70 games for us also, so my guess is definitely Josh Head. Head is always the answer.

Now we're getting somewhere!

Shit, I didn't realise that. What if he wasn't fiscally responsible for any finances during their tenure at all..

That's interesting, good to get insight. I always thought it was Bond who came up with list strategy when Smart moved on. But I just assumed based on what I thought the timeline was in arrival/departures etc. Thanks Billy. Now I'm just trying to figure out which ex-player you are

Interesting wording used by Billy "As a person that was formerly a player involved at the club." Does that mean he was on the list but didn't get a game? (no disrespect either way-such is life and its a lot further than I ever got in footy). Would you instead say "a former player" or "I used to play for the club" or something to that effect? Just interested and playing detective. If it's Leigh W-J: hope you're having a good week and I'll see you on the weekend.

I just wasted 2 minutes of my life to discover that we don't have a past player with the same DOB that Billy70 has used on BF. Whatevs.

Wow. We're a sad bunch on here...

Gee I hate the off season.

Didn't someone have lunch with Billy once?

Yep those were the 2 i narrowed it down to.
Doesnt really matter though coz he wont admit it, plus im sure he wants to keep his anonymity.

Could just as easily be a troll we wont know.

Hope he enjoys his time here though and if true he is an ex player, hopefully doesnt get harrassed by people wanting to know WHO.

No they ate lunch in the Billy Walker room. Easy mistake to make.
