News GM, Football - Josh Mahoney

[owen87]

And just like that, Brisbane have already appointed someone.


Not sure if thorough process..

Haven’t even heard a rumour or whisper out about who we’re interviewing or looking at yet. Oddly quiet.

Too busy sending out late Friday emails.

LOL I thought exactly the same thing. Most (probably all) clubs aren't run with a consistently thorough and repeatable process in all areas. If they get lucky and get a few things right for awhile then everyone assumes they are. Reality is when it comes to recruitment, it's not always bad to head hunt but if you do so and fail it's more likely to put your head on the chopping block.

When he was appointed to AFL Tasmania CEO:

Mr Lethlean said while Mr Auld, 46, had not previously worked in the football industry, he had been involved in the grassroots level of the game for most of his life.

“Robert played with Tatura and Nagambie in country Victoria and he has also performed a variety of off-field roles, including senior and junior coach, club president and NAB Auskick Coordinator.

glorious.

i can see why they're looking for new (read modern) blood.
Brasher/Sheeds/Dodoro/Harvey/Wellman would be the balance in terms of generational culture/experience, but i wonder if it all gels.

 

[CBombers17]

Another good appointment brewing in the pipeline?

His resume sounds like he should be head of umpiring

 

[Yoda_]

This appointment of Auld appears to be a frontage for the football department to carry on doing whatever they like.

Truly brilliant appointment if true

I actually wondered if Dan had signed yet. Might be better to get him back given our replacement 'processes'.

Im pretty naive about the process to appoint a general manger of football but who is hiring this person? Is it Brasher from the top? is it Xavier Campbell? is it Rutten and Dodoro in the football department?

can't imagine the latter two have anything to do with it

Would be Campbell, though i imagine Brasher is stamping any approval on anything he does at the moment (barring friday night emails it would seem)

Essendon being Essendon and giving jobs for the boys then?

Yay!

Jobs for the old boys' network by the sounds.

Sort of sounds like "can we have Brad Scott " ? AFL says no but you can have Rob Auld.
I really know nothing about him but it does not seem like an inspiring choice.
Obviously he has had the role with AFL Tasmania. Since then he has also been head of game development at the AFL which was a promotion from his CEO role with AFL Tas.
Has also been head of competition management with he AFL.

He sounds like a premier paper pusher. Not sure how it correlates to someone who is experienced running a football department, can guide it to its next phase and support and advise a brand new coach though. How would he know what the inside of a well-run [AFL] football department should look like?

James Hird and Bomber Thompson had at least been inside a premiership-winning football department before, and they apparently didn't know. Richardson and Worsfold were similarly experienced and we got rid of them.

Now we're gonna put in the brother of Travis Auld, who seems to fail upwards for some immeasurable reason?

Has the job been offered publicly or is it 'friends Y relos' only with a fee payable to your favoured HR firm.

It’s not rumoured to have been offered at all.

If you scroll up the report is that he’s the “unbackable favourite”.

 

[rumply]

I cant be bothered to go back & look but wasn't there a statement from the club declaring a wide net would be cast (words to that effect) looking for the best candidate? What did they use, a hair net?...

At around $50k it would be a great gig for a firm. I'd even throw in a suitable Essendon interview question to add some value - "so have you like ever worked before?"

 

[Dero]

Wasn't there some bad blood between Travis and EFC which made dealing with GC a challenge or did I imagine that?

 

[fairbump_playon]

If we’re employing someone’s brother for the GM role - can I suggest we take a look at Kyle Dunkley

? Seems roughly as qualified and can be guaranteed to deliver one blockbuster trade

Or “Did you grow up as an Essendon fan?”...
