Smart was COO of the whole organization, this appears to be an operations manager under the football department

Was gonna say, it sounds very much like Harper's position.GM of Football Operations
Too big a leap? Is Hurley's role important, or meh? What does he bring to the Club as a person and in his role?So 5 years of experience and footy ops manager...interesting.
Just needs to be thorough and a hard worker.Had some dealings with Hurley at a local level in 2019
Very impressive individual
Hopefully he can shine in his role at the Crows and keep us heading in the right direction
Good questionSo did we sack Harper or do we now have two people in "Football Operations" roles?
Why do you think it was announced then?Hmmmmm. On the surface of it, Hurley looks like a sh!thouse appointment. Another SANFL person? Hardly picking from the top of the pile are you?
On the other hand, Kelley has been impressive and he obviously knows Hurley well.
I think I know why the news was released with less than an hour to the first final....
Wow.Thank fu** Saunders is gone, another part of the Burton bullshit getting the clear out.
Saunders and Kangatech have been as damaging to this club as collective minds so glad to see us put it behind us.
I would have thought we had a really good run with soft tissue injuries this year?We had a pretty bad run of hamstrings this year, so it might have been be a reflection of what he was doing, combined with what he was costing.
As far as I can tell, Hass survives and appears not to be blamed for the Crows' "hamstring awareness" issues, nor for their appalling fitness of 2020. So, either he's not at fault, or he's the new Teflon.Thank fu** Saunders is gone, another part of the Burton bullshit getting the clear out.

Anybody know which?

Spray and pray mentality.Wow.
Honestly, just wow.
John Reid and Phil Harper roles if I have read it properlyHaving both a Head of Football and Football Operations Manager is common at other AFL clubs, such as Collingwood and the Bulldogs
Hurley, 31, practised law before joining SANFL as Football Operations Manager of the State League in 2015. He was most recently SANFL’s Head of Football Operations.
As Head of Community Football, Hurley will be responsible for managing the affiliations of the 24 regional Leagues across the State and the metropolitan Adelaide Footy League. He will also oversee the facilities, indigenous programs, participation and game delivery portfolios at SANFL.
Duldig said Hurley’s high performance in managing the League’s football operations had positioned him well to oversee Community Football moving forward.
“Tom’s breadth of football knowledge, strong connections across the football industry and experience in football administration saw him emerge as the ideal candidate to continue to support and strengthen grassroots football throughout the State, ensuring it’s sustainability in the future,” Duldig said.
“Having grown up in the Riverland, Tom also has a great understanding and appreciation of the importance of country footy in regional communities
