Dean Solomon was highly regarded but for whatever reason was left Uncontracted this season.
We lost two assistant coaches at the end of last year and didn’t actually replace them instead giving already employed people dual roles to fill the holes. Assume it’s as a result of the soft cap reductions but still seemed like a strange call to me.
All of the above is due to the soft cap reductions
Clubs had to weigh up who to keep or what to keep as part of their footy departments
Cutting $3mil in costs is tough enough working out where to cut harder
Every club approached it differently.
Footy department isn't just coaching. There's recruiting, sports science, fitness etc
Every club is seeing the impacts of the cuts in different ways.
Draft is going to be interesting this year. What if any impact did the cuts have to Club's recruiting teams and processes?
