Yeah, I'd take replacing Campo as a much higher priority then Hart currently.

The defense is a tad unsettled sure, but the midfield has been woeful.
 
We would be mad not to get Mattner, don't care what area he does, defence would be good and just swap Francou and Campo. Campo has had 10+ years with the midfield, it has gone stale he needs a new challenge and if he doesn't like it, the door is over there.

That midfield can't be hamstrung by not being challenged by a new voice, new ideas and a fresh face who doesn't have a borderline disturbing Mackay fetish
 
Carlton wanted him last year and he knocked it back. Obviously wants to stay in SA.

But, but, isn’t this old boys club again?

Recruiting a guy whose face didn’t fit when he was a player at our club and who almost had his career killed by Neil Craig? A player who was then traded to an interstate club with an incredibly successful system and has proven his worth by carving his own successful coaching career?

Do you get how this works?

Boys club is when you’re recruited for your name not for your merit. Brett Burton destroyed Brisbane and was given a job. Ben Hart was fired from Collingwood and was given a job. That’s boys club.

You do raise a valid point though. We’ll never recruit Mattner - he’s proven to be actually competent.

I would be blaming list management more than anyone

We gave up two first round draft picks to bolster our midfield

Considering were going to end up around 3 games clear of the team below us.

We failed

List management are also responsible for fitness and conditioning and on field strategy are they?

And that is relevant to us needing to replace Campo how?

I personally don't care in the slightest that we gave up a high price for Gibbs to see if there was more in this window, and if we come out with nothing at the end of Gibbs career, I still won't care in the slightest. I do care that our off field staff (namely Burton and Hass) did a very Adelaide thing and completely shit the bed the moment success was in sight instead of just staying the course and backing a response from a group that for the most part had done that well for a couple of years.
 
He was offered the Port Magpies role last year but turned it down as it was no different to what he was doing at Sturt, arguably worse as he wouldn’t be his own man and he thought he could learn more from another year at Sturt. He’s always been open to moving back to Sydney also.
What he’s done at and for Sturt is fantastic, premiership player in 02 and premiership coach in 16/17. Sad to see him go (hopefully to Adelaide) but wish him all the best especially if he can leave on a winning note.

Mansplained it? Tell me again that the boys club doesn’t count if you’ve been at another club. Like Burton had. Like Hart had. Am I doing it right?

No you aren’t, you are purposely being thick, I don’t understand your motive unless you like the attention.

It’s been explained over and over, giving jobs to guys who previously played at Adelaide on merit is vastly different to giving jobs to guys who haven’t earnt the position and the only reason they got the job is because of their association and friendships with the club. Get it? Or do you need it posted in crayon?
