I disagree that list management is not the coaches responsibility but I guess we're not going to find a middle ground on that one. I think Eade would agree with your assessment that it's not his responsibility but other coaches would disagree.
Eade has stated publicly over multiple years that he is interested in a senior job but none of the many teams which have replaced their coach have selected him.
Not true. Did you watch the doco on coaches in the AFL last week. Chris Scott mentioned it clearly. At AFL level it is not the coaches responsibility, nothing to do with my assessment it is a question of fact. Coaches may be asked an opinion but ultimate responsibility for list management rests with the recruiting department not the coach.
I personally know this through interactions with 4 clubs and discussions with coaches and administrators, being Us, North, Geelong and Essendon. All other AFL clubs have similar structure.
Coaches implement game style and strategy, they also develop, they do not recruit and have not done so for over a generation.
So you can be critical of Eade for development, but not for list management, same goes for Macca.
You do understand, and I would hope posters do understand the coach is not even head of the football department at a club. It is why I find this thread interesting that Macca is suppose to have all these faults yet allot brought up have next to nothing to do with a coach
