I don't have inside info Ox but this is who and what I know of:

Recruiting Manager: Greg Beck (since 1996 I believe)
Forward Scout/Recruiting: Gary Norbury (?)
Greg Miller is also now in control of recruiting - first real draft for him would have been last year (2003) after a year analysing our list.

From another thread on Greg Beck:

Not including trades, PSD or AFL players recruited from other clubs as they can be blamed on the coaches decisions at the time (bold type is players still on our list):

96: Steinfort, Chaffey, Manfield, McKee, Frewen, Donati   
97: Ottens, Proctor, Greenham, A.Kellaway
98: White, Dragicevic, Greig, Hall
99:  Fiora, Poyas, Homewood, Mills, Zantuck
00:  Pettifer, Coughlan, Hyde, Krakouer, Newman
01: Rodan, McGrath
02: Schulz, Sipthorp
03: Gilmour, Roach, Jackson, Raines, Hartigan

1 A-grade player (well most likely in Cogs) in 8 drafts isn't much of a record. Still question marks on the others. A.Kellaway, Hall, Zantuck and Newman weren't bad late picks. Two potentially good years in 8 (2000,2003) is nothing to write home about plus Miller would of had alot of say last year.
