I've had little doubt at some stage SOS would be back in some capacity at our club.
However, more than just the sentiment of it all , what excites me most is SOS himself has so much knowledge now of how clubs work both on and off field, how modern lists must be managed and also his father that long time was involved with club workings I'm sure passed on a lot of wisdom.
Scott Clayton has been involved in list management so long and Graeme Allan football departments that the wealth of knowledge and experience SOS brings with him from learning from those guys and his own know how will be amazing. I've hated how our list had been mismanaged for so long in draft era. To have someone like SOS that knows the ins and outs of so many related aspects be the main person over looking it all fills me with great confidence for longer term future.
Been great he has spent time at so many clubs and especially a club built from scratch like Giants. Just will make him so well rounded and do everything he can for our club to bring our list management in line with the modern era. Best news for some time. oh, I wish he son all the best being drafted in another year.
Donald McDonald at North was still at club when North drafted Luke McDonald. Todd Viney at Dees when they drafted Jack Viney. Clubs handle it better now for the father to not feel awkward being on the staff when son may be on the list. Think SOS and his son will take it in their stride just as Donald and Luke McDonald have at North.
