It's the "see, former players love the club" move.That's completely f’ed. He's the poster child for playing injured seniors and denying games to youth.

Scott Thompson WILL be at the Crows next year. Mark it down
We do spend the footy cap, it doesn't just go on coaches, it covers the entire football department. We added extra costs in by bringing Kangatech in, which then added another cost when we brought Saunders in because our guys misused it completely. We've also invested more in analytics than most other teams have also.Issue could be structural as well. Even before the payouts, it seems clear that we don't resource the main coaching group to the extent that our competitors do. It's unlikely we've ever spent the full cap, but either way, I don't think it's going to the right places. That's the disappointing bit about Kelly, he's never seen the inside of an AFL footy dept, so it's harder for him to identify wastage. Hopefully he's shrewd enough to realise that it's highly unlikely that structure he inherited doesn't require a complete overhaul.
But he's a good guy and you want good people involved in your footy club. Doesn't matter if they're good coaches though.If Thommo got the flick from Port, went somewhere else in the AFL system and proved himself then I'm ok with it.
He hasnt
Bartel, Hodge, Bassett, Caracella, McLeod. Get rid of Hart, Godden, Clarke, Saunders, Haas and our culture officer to pay for it. Get Poulos back or an equivalent fitness specialist.I would be targeting jimmy Bartel. Throw a sh*t tonne at him to get him into the coaching panel.
Who’s the cheapest, least experienced, least qualified option and mates with Roo?
That’s who we’ll get.
