It’s lucky Wright can multi task.I imagine Wright came at top dollar so I expect poaching a top list manager from another club won’t be possible with the cap on footy department spending.

Would a competent calculator operator expand the pool of candidates?someone who can add and subtract
Agree. Develop from within, with Wright keeping a firm hand on the wheel for a period.Look re.. we can't be going down the St Kilda/Carlton route.Can't get the first option.. go for the 2nd or 3rd.. no way!
I'd rather we develop our own.. don't want to bring in blokes that have been in the system for a while if they don't suit our purpose.. just for the fu** of it.. so we can remain competitive. That's not gonna deliver very much.
Wright came over to be footy boss which is a step up from list manager, no doubt he will step in to help out in the interim but I can't see him going backwards in his career. Also with most teams knowing how bad our salary cap is, this could be one of the toughest jobs to fill imo. Wells would be a preference but you would have to ask why he left Geelong? Does he have the passion? or maybe just needs a change? either way, we need to do the right thing and ask the question.

My understanding is that today we have two departments ...
Derek Hine & Co ... drafting. Job is to go around to under age comps around the country, go to draft camps, works with the senior coach and footy boss to understand needs, assembles a list from best to worst, on draft night he plays bingo by crossing out numbers as they’re called and then reads out the name next to the highest number when it’s Collingwood’s turn, and gets interviewed before draft about how we’ll be getting best available, and after draft about how amazed we are about the talent we were able to pick up.
Ned Guy & Co ... works with the senior coach and football boss to understand list needs, goes shopping at trade period for those needs for the best available, negotiates with footy clubs snd footy managers, manages the salary cap to ensure that we are getting the best value for our money, and that we’re compliant. Draftees all get paid a fixed amount (a little for first rounders, a little less for second rounders, etc), so managing the draftees within the salary cap is straightforward.
I wonder if Wright will take a look at this structure?
For my mind, the job can be broken up into ...
Negotiator ... kinda like a professional poker player. Maybe we can appoint somebody part time for this role? There are professional negotiators in the world, no way would we afford or justify one full time, but getting one part time might be worthwhile?
Book-keeper ... making sure we stay within the salary cap. This would appear to be reasonably straightforward, and again a very part time role.

Fluent in English, ............Ned struggled with wordsin normal selection processes, the requirement to add and subtract is normally covered by a masters degree in mathematics from a leading university. The candidate should also be from a good family and be born in december...
