Mike on 3aw just said Pelchen won't be going to Richmond and chastised Russell for saying Pelchen put Hawthorn's list together when 75% of that list was already at Hawthorn prior to Pelchen arriving there. Most of the credit at Hawthorn should go to Buckenara and Turnball now in Perth.

For those that are ignorant on these matters - ME lol - can you tell me why you'd go for Corcoran over the Pelican?
Do you know enough to tell me the good points about him and Pelican so we can weigh up the options?

My opinion Moi is based on the fact that he held this type of position at both Essendon and Melbourne. From what has been written and what has been said he did well at both Clubs. Another thing that I like is that he went from Essendon who've never been short of $$$$ to Melb who have always struggled for $$$. So he has seen both sides as they say.

Then there is his currently role at Athletics Australia, which is pretty far removed from football but involved dealing with bureaucrats, politicans, sponsors and anyone else who wants to to stick their nose in ;). I'm also assuming this means he has had exposure to other countries methods, structures and procedures in running a sporting organisation.

I just think he ticks the right boxes when they talk about needing to be "contemporary" (whatever that is supposed to mean and represent)

Well, considering I have no idea, I'm relying on what everyone else says.
So thanks for that, Willie  :thumbsup
As long as whoever it is, he/she is the best or one of the best and we're not getting someone because everyone else is taken.

It seems looking from outside it's pointing more and more towards Corcoran if he wants the job.

"I have not been approached by Richmond or anyone else" is what Corcoran said on SEN this morning according to BF.

Corcoran making a smoke screen or just another fine piece of the Australian journalism yet again.  :rollin  :banghead

Hutchy said tonight Pelchen and Dan Richardson, our two favoured choices for the job, have both pulled out of the running. So the decision on our new footy manager will take a bit longer.

Good on Hutchy with his scoops. Last week it was Pelchen and now it's not  :wallywink.

I thought Corcoran was one of our two preferred candidates.

To be fair he did say that Pelchen was our number one candidate, never said that he'd take the job

Hopefully he's the #1 candidate now

Yep Corcoran has to be unless he turns us down too  :P.

That's true although the footy show were building it up as Hutchy would reveal our new footy chief.

 meaning everyone is thinking football background...when in actual fact we have implemented the "best practice" of looking outside this criteria...perhaps just perhaps the person we select WONT come from a football background. :whistle
