    Thumbs down Key architect of Bulldogs Premiership to present to AFL coaches

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-01-2...to-afl-coaches

    A KEY architect of the Western Bulldogs' historic 2016 premiership team will present at the annual AFL National Coaches Conference at the MCG next week.

    Bulldogs recruiter Simon Dalrymple, who put together the Bulldogs' list alongside list manager Jason McCartney, is scheduled to run a Saturday afternoon session on talent identification at the conference which begins on Friday night.

    Dalrymple, who Brownlow medallist Sam Mitchell credited as being a key influence on his career when presented with the 2012 award in December, joined the Bulldogs as a development coach in 2007 before moving into recruiting.

    He was part of the team responsible for selecting Marcus Bontempelli with pick No.4 in 2013, Caleb Daniel with pick No.46 in 2014 and Jake Stringer and Jack Macrae with picks No.5 and No.6 respectively in 2012.

    Hearing what lies behind Dalrymple's astute eye will just be one of the numerous presentations and sessions to be held from Friday, February 3 -Sunday, February 5.

    Essendon coach John Worsfold will make a keynote presentation on Friday night titled Tension is Good, while Asian Cup winning Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou will open proceedings on Saturday morning.

    The program has assistant coaches from St Kilda, Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs also taking part, with Magpies senior assistant Robert Harvey presenting on how to work with leaders on Sunday.

    The 2017 AFL National Coaches Conference is expected to attract 400 coaches to the MCG.

    Re: Key architect of Bulldogs Premietship to present to AFL coaches

    No James Hird session on relationship management? No Steve Dank guide to getting that extra 1% into, and then out of players?

    Until they start getting serious about presenters I'm not parting with my cash to attend these things.
