To all you RFC 'Gurus"

Is Francis Jackson our main list manager?

How long has he been doing it for?

How would you rate him as a list manager (team builder?)?

Are there better options out there?

If so who?

Is he in charge of the face to face recruiting (the lounge room sell)?

Would he and Dimma discuss all options prior to recruitment?

Is Francis Jackson our main list manager? No, Blair Hartley is ultimately responsible for the list. He, Dan Richo, Dimma and Francis discuss the make up of the list they want to achieve, it's then up to Blair and Francis to help get those players to the club.

How long has he been doing it for? He's been full-time since 2009.

Is he in charge of the face to face recruiting (the lounge room sell)? He goes along with our other recruiters, Dimma, Blair, maybe some players. Each recruit would be a different sell.

Would he and Dimma discuss all options prior to recruitment? Absolutely, Dimma explains the game plan he wants to use and the gaps he sees in the list, and Francis and his team is charged with getting those players in the draft. The data the recruiters collect on these players since they are 16, 17 then flows through to Blair's system to be used as trade/free agency potential options.

Luke is just like the other two Recruiting Officers, no one is being groomed.

'being groomed' has become such a compromised phrase these days, I often feel, myself.

Great to see RFCO addressing footy issues. Keep it going, please!

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Full time since 2009? Is that right? I thought it was longer than that?

I can double check. He's been part-time since I think 2004.
