[Callipygian]

Yeah, we're due to hear. They may have made some decisions but not announced them. If they haven't told us already, the AGM next week may be the opportunity to find out.

 

[Callipygian]

Contrary to the indication about 6 weeks ago that there would be an announcement about Simon Dalrymple's replacement in the first half of February, last night at the AGM they said it will be another 4-6 weeks.

Is this like the injury report and 4-6 weeks means that he's dead?

Sydney has promoted recruiting analyst Chris Keane to help steer the club’s list management under a new-look collaborative approach that will see the rising star work alongside veteran Kinnear Beatson and Swans football boss Leon Cameron

Keane is being groomed to eventually take over as full-time list manager, but the club has settled on a collaborative approach between Keane, Beatson and Cameron this year without having a standout list boss.

Beatson has been the Swans’ long-time list manager, but will move into more of a recruiting role in 2024 after recognising Keane’s potential.

I can't imagine anyone saw this coming. I wonder if it's a result of Dalrymple leaving or a driving factor in it

A rising star in the List management dept it seems. That's great news we're able to provide career progression internally, he's put in the years that's for certain and its worth remembering that he was mentioned in being on the Eagles view for their own list management spot.

Sounds like we're setting up something similar to what Geelong have, where Andrew Mackie

is their list boss, and Steven Wells is recruiting manager.

Keane is/will be list manager, Kinnear recruiting.

Then as Callipygian said, we still have Dalrymple's replacement to come in as well.

Do we know if Ross Monaghan is still doing Futures Recruiting?

I appreciate that

I specifically asked whether Ross Monaghan is still part of our list management team last night and they confirmed that he is. Not sure if it's specifically as futures.

[tombomb]

Wasn't Chris Keane the one who came up with that Rowbottom pick swap a few years ago?

That was genius.

Thanks for that.

I only presumed he was in futures from this article I found a while back (albeit it was from March 2020): Ross in the hot seat chatting all things recruiting

Yes you are correct

 

[Callipygian]

Wasn't Chris Keane the one who came up with that Rowbottom pick swap a few years ago?

That was genius.

Was that where we mysteriously traded our pick to West Coast for basically nothing and then they sent it back to us after we had matched the bid on Blakey? Yeah, I seem to recall that was Chris Keane's cunning. However that is not the number one talent I want my recruiter to have. (Good in a list manager though but still not number one.)

Damn I completely forgot about the AGM. Was there anything of note worth mentioning?

At the melb event a couple of weeks ago, kinnear said they are elevating him to provide career progression as otherwise "good people leave your organisation". Said he will be doing some salary negotiations too. It all sounds like a carrot to chris to keep west coast at bay and put in a post kinnear transition plan.

News - Club governance

Personally, as someone who has become heavily invested in our footy club, I care not only about footy and the on-field stuff, but also about the whole club and the off-field stuff too. That means I'm interested in all the personnel employed at the club from the coaches to the list managers to...

I believe Simon Dalrymple left as he couldn't get on with KB, wasn't over keen on St Scum , but it just came up at the right time .

Sounds like Simon Dalrymple might be a bit of a prickly character. I can imagine KB might be a bit hard to deal with sometimes (although he seems to go ok with Horse and Harley) but Dalrymple had similar complaints when he left the Bulldogs, didn't he?

Dalrymple's also been given a bigger role at the Saints where he's responsible for list management and not just drafting (albeit not solely responsible).

Yeah I thought the same thing. Be interesting to see how he goes working with Ross the boss, can't imagine that would be an easy assignment.

I reckon they'll both be instructed to stick to their lane. Will be more how he goes with the head of footy and, possibly, the other recruiters and list managers.

Wasn't his gripe at the western muts over dunderhead bevo being too overbearing? I could only imagine Lyons being just as bad if not worse.
Though you could be right and after the mess RtB left saints in last time, they may rein his control in somewhat this time.
