Coach North Melbourne Football Department Thread

[Val Keating]

I found that a bit odd. Doesn't seem like we have the full complement of assistants yet, and isn't the list manager part of football department?

Maybe he’s out of the loop?

 

[The Nostradamus]

So we’ve sacked our coach, CEO, football manager, list manager and one assistant coach with more to come. Not mucking around

Begs the question how has Loader survived so far?

Also greaves development coach gone

Obviously they don't see his VFL role as a problem. Either that, or simply his departure hasn't been announced yet.
Crocker still there is another interesting one.

Shouldn’t have taken that holiday.

Are the Peter Bell rumours getting stronger?

More likely to be CEO of Freo, you'd think.

Mark Brayshaw then?

Archer and Buckley have just run straight through the club.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Jason McCartney poach him from giants as list manager?

Bell would be good to bring in as CEO

You'd think the club would look to represent the trans community now.

Offer Caroline Wilson a spot on the board?

Caro is 100 per cent woman.

7ft ginger already signed up...

 

[Event Horizon]

Caro is 100 per cent woman.

You've checked, have you? Or you've heard from a good source?

 

[see see]

That's taking the whole equality thing just a little too far.

A ginger FFS. Ugh.

She's got three kids with Brendan Donohue mate.

Would actual be the funniest thing to happen to the afl media, a seven foot sassy Australian, giving them stick. I’m not sure they’d have the coping mechanisms.

Vote 1 Giantroo !!!!!

 

[King Corey]

Don't quite understand why Dilena was part of the cull. He looks to have been a very competent and still relevant CEO.

 

[Billy Not Really]

You ain't getting Bell. Let that one go, he's firmly in Freo.

CEO will be Mark Brayshaw you'd think.

 

[Event Horizon]

Don't quite understand why Dilena was part of the cull. He looks to have been a very competent and still relevant CEO.

I've been thinking about this since the rumors started circulating. I suppose Buckley probably has a few ideas or agendas where he sees the club over the next 5 years and being an experienced operator he realises that change at the top is important, and a new fresh outlook is required at times. Any business needs this from time to time. It could be as simple as that. Of course there are probably some shortfalls that have been identified as well, Scott extension could be the obvious one.

Club's image could be better as well, considering how much we achieved off the field, yet haven't converted this into growth, and haven't focused enough on the "on-field" stuff, at least from real success point of view. Only two semi successful finals series in 10 years isn't really enough, haven't finished top 4 since 2007.

 

[Firestarter]

Never mind. Rivers confirmed. Maybe Dilena meant the agreements were finished but unannounced.
