Football Department Review

[northernblue]

How are they related, other than common surname?

Father and son I believe…
Geoff was formerly @ Collingwood in their recuiting dept.

My bad, Sam’s father is Wayne Walsh ?

Caro suggested the review isn't independent with Sayers and Liddle presiding over events. Suggested Liddle should be reviewed and that Brad Lloyd should be concerned.

Barrett considers St Kilda and Gold Coast need a review also, from top to bottom. The AFL match review on incidents on field. It all has reason for concern. I do agree that Liddle needs to be part of the review. Not part of the independent panel that conduct the review. Let’s be honest. If the job is to highlight shortcomings and areas to change, improve, tweak or leave as it is, you can’t be of no bias if you are not judged for your contribution to the lack of performance and result. Correct me if I am a feckhead. Not being judgmental, but asking the question. Why is Liddle part of the panel? I wonder who instigated this review, and who is in control of which heads will roll? Lloyd might be in trouble by what the media suggest. Might be a very interesting few weeks in footy. If we lose to GWS next, the crap might just hit the media with more intensity.

Pity Wes Lofts isn’t around anymore, best Chairman of Selectors we ever had.

What I want to know is who is picking our team each week ?
Who is our chairman of selectors ?
Who is on the selection committee ?

It's really difficult to find the current match committee, but I found the one from 2000 (courtesy of Blueseum)...and that tells a bit of a story.

2000 - Stephen Kernahan Chairman (that would probably be someone in the Judd or more likely Lloyd position these days), David Parkin, Wayne Brittain, John Worsfold, Barry Mitchell, Ross Lyon.

So it looks like a football dept head, the Senior coach, Assistants....and the runner (Mitchell)
I thought the runner being on the Match Committee was a bit strange but it makes a bit of sense if they're there in an observer role when selections and matchups are being discussed.
Mitchell's experience and input was obviously appreciated because he took over the Bullants side a few years later.

Just as an aside Mitchell was apparently pretty tight with Brittain. By reports, his relationship with Pagan was a bit of disaster so there would have been that disconnect between the seniors and our VFL affiliate during those times.

This reeks of Liddle having some fingers in the pie ..................... with a side order of obfuscation, ................. you can't blame someone you can't identify!

IIRC, Chairman of Selectors had the final say when there was a split decision. There is no such thing now.

You could say that - Pagan had Mitchell's office moved to the other side of PP........ in a diff stand.....  yeah, I dont think Pagan liked him!!

5 min 40, some of which is filler.

Daisy Thomas, Barrett, Carey, Joey Montagna. Daisy's comments are worth a couple of minutes of your time IMO.
