Wasn’t that Matthew Robran’s gig?

I believe so, and the odd members event.

The leader of the bunch.
Is this an actual thing, or was that poster earlier today just having a laugh?
exactly. And that’s the type of role you want a “jobs for the boys” situation to apply. You want a loved former player filling that role.
The thing that really gets me about this is it's rewarding a completely disloyal Jacobs.
His attitude when he was in the SANFL come finals time combined with his jumping ship to the Giants shows he has no loyalty to the club.
If we're going to put an ex player in one of these nothing jobs I'd actually rather it was someone like David Mackay.

Hawthorn I think.
And yeah whilst this is a good place for a boys club appt, Sauce isn't that guy. I get that he's quite personable, and he may love the club..... But his actions last year didn't fit with that profile.

The leader of the bunch.
He did help us get a better draft pick with his performances with GWS though.
Sauce was incredibly selfish towards the end of his time - which was really disappointing from a guy that was considered a great club man.

Didn't Andy get let go by the Hawks due to Covid and no VFL?

I don’t mind Jacobs getting the role. I think it’s similar to what Robran used to do in that it’s all about engaging with corporates. Robrans use by date has probably passed and Jacobs is as good as anyone to be reeled into a sponsors event to shmooz and get in a few selfies.

No one outside of a dozen posters on this board think that.
He is a recognisable recent club champion, which is exactly the type that execs want to swan around with on Matchday.

Had no problem with Jacobs not playing reserves
He was going to a new club. He was no longer our player. Had no contract at that stage either so an injury was career over. Expecting him to suit up is ridiculous and clearly we didn't.
Ruck Strachan or whoever instead, who's actually going to be here.
No benefit to us or Jacobs of him playing
On an importance scale of 1-10, reserves premierships are negative 6 billion

He did have a contract. With us. to the end of the year.
If he didn't want to live up to the contract he should have handed the money back and retired.
Without retiring he was contractually obligated to play wherever we damn well wanted.
He's also an unsightly ranga. Who wants to engage with that?
I couldn't be less excited about his return to the club.

It's not reserves, it's the SANFL.

It wasn't about playing SANFL as such, it was his hissy fit at not getting his spot back immediately
Yep. Jacobs has one blemish against his record with ditching the reserves for that final. Thompson went and coached at Port. I know what I think is worse. We're going to need to thoroughly delouse Thommo before they allow him back inside the walls.
Thommo working a part time role with the womens team isn't so bad. I thought he might be replacing Younie and I wouldn't be keen on that.

Why didn't Bock suit up late in the season he left? Why didn't Gibbs keep training after the his farewell game this season?
What money? Our season had finished. You'd quibble over some post-season reserves money with a club 180 gamer that you were farewelling on good terms?
He did exactly what we wanted and he wanted. His playing career with us was over.

Because they're self entitled as well? difference is that we didn't reward Bock or Gibbs for it with cushy jobs for the boys.
