Matthew Clarke --- to replace Francis Jackson as head recruiter

I wonder if we'll yoyo like the dees did for 10 years

Ours is more a walking the dog manoeuvre.

IMO I would be approaching Gary Buckenara.

Heard him on SEN this morning, talks a lot of sense and is probably the mastermind behind setting up Hawthorns list management implementation and masterplan.

[Yeahright]

"Sorry guys we are going to keep you for a year  but by all means keep looking around"

Devil's advocate time

Under the coaches association agreement clubs had to tell assistants if they were being kept or if they could look at "other opportunities" by 1 August

Think about it

1 year -v- the possibility of a longer deal somewhere else... hmmm which would you chose?

I hope they are looking at Kobe Mutch and bid on him if we can snare a another pick inside 20. Love the way he moves around the ground and is the perfect player for the modern game. Another GWS academy zone player

How is NSW producing so many gun juniors all of a sudden?

The dusty effect

How is NSW producing so many gun juniors all of a sudden?

NSW has produced gun footballers for many years. Primarily from Southern NSW ie Riverina. Hawkins, Bruest, Smith, Carey, Brownless

Only difference before was that the pathway was harder to get to an AFL club. Some went to boarding schools in Victoria.

Now with the GWS Academy they don't need to leave home.

On top of this more of the talented players are staying in the system longer and not choosing other sports. Again because of the extra money put into talent identification. Heeney is an example
