I understand there's collaboration at a footy ops level - and things like money and contracts are out of the coach's hands - but ultimately if the coach wants to target a player he deserves the right to live and die by the sword.
Perhaps that's old-school thinking, but it's certainly closer to what we've got now with Walsh answering only to the CEO.

The coach should tell the recruiting/list management staff what sort of player he is after. Give suggestions sure, but if he is overruled by our staff specifically in the role of recruiting quality players to the club he should back them. Otherwise we have the wrong people in those positions.
