Traded EGM, Football Josh Mahoney - Footy Operations boss at the AFL - 28/8

[Yoda_]

Just think what happened at the end of last year.

Our hard ball gets contested work, power running and forward 50 retention are all a problem.

Who do we chase? Bobby Hill.

I still can't work out if this was Dodoro's fault, or if that was Ben Rutten fault or if Josh Mahoney ok's this.

No wonder we are s**t show

 

[naraku]

Extend Josh's contract.

As mentioned here, Josh has actually had a hand in building a successful team.

While it's not necessarily only Dodos fault , he's had 20 year's.

 

[JayJ20]

Removing Mahoney means giving the keys to Dodoro and Sheedy. Keep Mahoney and let him go after Dodoro.

He would have been our only small forward. Not a fan myself but it is a spot in the list that needed filling.

 

[Burzum]

Back in someone other than that used car salesman Dudoro for once FFS.

 

[BrunoV]

He would have been our only small forward. Not a fan myself but it is a spot in the list that needed filling.

He would have been an awful choice.

He's not a defensive player, chaser or tackler.

He basically just Steve Motlop. Very Dodoro player.

Was still a gap in the list.

 

[Lore]

Wonder how he’s going… 3/4 pillars of the club now gone in the last 10 days

 

[Lore]

Presumably he’s doing exit interviews, if he left now

 

[The Prosecutor]

Hope he survives.

It will be tough now that his main backer in Campbell is gone, while Dodoro lingers with his backer in Sheedy now the controlling vote on the board.

 

[ant555]

Better be safe.

 

[citizen-erased]

Presumably he’s doing exit interviews, if he left now

talks to himself on the way out

 

[DapperDon]

Sheedy now the controlling vote on the board.

My main worry as people are saying we are currently at rock bottom.

I don't think we are yet

 

[TheGrizz]

Better be safe.

I imagine only one of Mahoney and Dodoro survives.

 

[ant555]

I imagine only one of Mahoney and Dodoro survives.

And we know who should. The list manager should be the fourth most important in the footy department behind the GM of football , the coach and the head of recruiting even though he reports to the list manager.
If the fire another GM of footy then they are not going anywhere.

 

[owen87]

If it’s one of Mahoney or Dodoro I’ll take Mahoney.

Get rid of Sheedy while they’re at it.

 

[Nifft]

If it’s one of Mahoney or Dodoro I’ll take Mahoney.

Get rid of Sheedy while they’re at it.

i think everyone who’s been there for an extended period should be looked at, including board members. You can’t keep sacking coaches and not holding other people accountable as well.

I agree. Tough situation getting rid of Dodoro given we are so close to the trade/draft period. Mind you I can't see us being too active in trade week and surely the bulk of the leg work has been done for the draft...

As long as Mahoney is there it is not an issue. RFK takes care of the draft as it is his job anyway. Josh handles the trade / FA

RFK does most of the scouting these days, and Mahoney played an active role in Melbourne’s trade and draft periods from memory, so Dodoro may not be essential anyway.

That is scary though. We have probably been doing list stuff pretty solidly for six weeks already, if they push Mahoney out and the coach is gone then you’re left with like Dodoro and line coaches (whichever remain) doing exit interviews which is… ick.

Josh is a good operator at the trade table. With a good recruiter next to him, the list strategy should come together.
Ideally you'd have a coach at the helm but with the timing I think we have to settle on do the best we can to get quality in, then have input from coaches strategy/direction from next year.

 

[ant555]

Getting to help select the new coach so you would assume he is reasonably safe. Unless he comes up with someone Barham does not want.

 

[Burzum]

lol Mahns gone.

 

[EnolaGay]

lol Mahns gone.

Jackets Dodo gets his way!

Yeah, nah, it's Tom Brown.
