Some rumours have Melbourne and Freo looking at him.

Know for a fact The doggies and Giants have asked a lot of questions. Bit of a scallywag in juniors but looks to have matured- good for him

This does not mean the people they hire are not qualified. It generally means that when both candidates are the same qualifications, they’ll pick the female. People (men) seem to believe women just get these jobs just because they are women. Can’t possibly have gotten them on merit…. If Laura Kane got a job she wasn't qualified for, blame the fellas who hired her. Based on their previous performance at AFL house, id say they were sorely out of their depth in the first place.

The bit highlighted is absolute codswallop! I've seen multiple instances (esp in my current higher ed role) where women have been hired despite not having the faintest idea of the job - and into director's roles. It happens all the time in govt / semi govt and socialist, woke enterprises like the AFL now it seems.
