Sheeds has another dig at Richmond

[jackstar is back again]

It's called not being fully resourced in a recruiting department to do a good enough job
He takes for granted the people resources he had at his club to scour the country to look for talent, and he still managed to stuff it up back in 2000, 2001 etc.  So best he check his own record before he criticises other clubs.
We had one person
We now have a few more, and it's a matter of opinion whether the likes of Dustin Martin will be future stars.  It's hard to see five years into the future 
It's also got to do with a system that smart clubs know how to rort and others, like us, go the honourable way and try and finish the best we can, to give our supporters something back, hence we finished 9th every year and missed out on the opportunities,
And then when we genuinely needed help because we came last, the AFL decided in it's wisdom  to give the first picks to a club that cheated.
Sheeds is turning into another Kevin who turned bitter and twisted after being rejected
What is it with the name of Kevin and Richmond?
Get over it you senile old man 

in 2004, we have 13 people actively involved Australia wide in recruiting.
Greg Miller headed this process.
Merv Keane was also there in a part time role as well (20 hours a week )
By memory we had Mark Meranda in WA. Richard Taylor in NSW and cant remember the other names, but there was 13 people that were doing 20 hours a week,
We were never unresourced as is currently being stated.
We made POOR CHOICES !  FACT

mark merenda in WA you say Jack, i thoiught he was an executive of some sort, like yeah I can really see him being able to scour the WA comp from colts thru to WAFL seniors...it's about having the sq pegs in the sq holes mate...fwiw we may as well had the jiffy donut van representing us...FACT

hate to tell you this, he was actively involved, and was involved in coaching juniors over there

Jack, Jack, Jack.....here you go again making things up!!!!

Mark does not coach juniors, he has his own real estate business and let me assure you he has no time to be involved in footy let alone coach.

Please stop trying to convince people that you are in the know when you arent. 

[jackstar is back again]

In 2004 he was involved in football, FACT

Can ensure you he was involved with RFC in 2004 and 2005

[yellowandback]

In 2004 he was involved in football, FACT

That is relevant........HOW?

[Mr Magic]

I bet Sheedy doesn't ever coach a game at WS.

Bet you he does

In the AFL? We'll see.

I think his position is 95% a marketing stunt.

[jackstar is back again]

In 2004 he was involved in football, FACT

That is relevant........HOW?

As he was doing recruiting and scouting for the tiges in 2004/2005

thx sug for adding some substance, I thought it was real estate, wasn't certain, in any case  it underlines the half arsed attempt in trying top put up a recruiting presence in WA...love Jacks spin trying to tell us he was devoted to junior talent search....

[Con65]

I dont think Jack is spinning it at all...

I dont know if he was a junior talent scout for RFC...but i do know that he was an assistant coach of the WA State Schoolboys team.

see: http://www.stateschoolboys.com.au/2004/index2004.html

It says Absent Mark Merenda Assistant Coach...

As for the real estate...that started in 2006 didnt it?

It would not be too hard a jump from assistant coach in the schoolboys to scouting for rfc...or even letting them know about the schoolboys he was coaching....

[FNM]

I've heard Mark Merenda was scouting before as well.
Not sure if it was done in earnest or not though

Con, assistant coach of the state schoolboys is hardly a coaching role....it was a token role for Mark at the time where he dedicated about 20 hours for the season.

My point to Jack was that he was not coaching a junior side nor was he dedicating 20 hours per week to the RFC for scouting/recruiting.

He was simply putting together some info on the juniors schoolboys that he had a minor involvement in when asked by GM.  Jack just takes an inch and stretches it a mile to make it sound like he is in the know on everything.

The facts are the FACTS and Mark may have started Bell Merenda in 2006, I'm not sure of the start date but he was heavily involved in real estate before that as well. 

We werent well resourced back then and we relied on voluntary advice from people like Mark rather than them being dedicated to scouting 20 hours a week as Jack would have us all believe.

That's what I heard - voluntary advice was probably a couple of phone calls like, "Hey Choco, what do you think of this player or this player". Hardly a dedicated employee

precisely sug and out of all that we're supposed to believe we have had dedicated recruiting resource all along... fair dinkum some people would try anything on for size, I think this half baked setup has been well and truly smoked out

[jackstar is back again]

Can tell you this.
Mark Meranda did  do work for the RFC in 2004 and 2005.
He also attended West Coast and Freo training sessions when we were play them
He also did opposition analysis on West Coast and Freo game in WA up to 3 weeks in advance from when we due to play them..
He also watched WAFL games when requested.
As Con said, he was involved with School Boy football in WA before he got into real estate.
In 2004 and 2005, there were up 13 people Australian wide involved in actively looking at recuiting.
Each person was issued templates and would assess players on both teams of the games they watched and this was then put into a dat base at the club.
What has happened in 2006 onwards, I dont know
