    Jason McCartney

    Apparently J-Mac is in line for a more senior role at the GC Suns as Ashcroft departs.

    "Western Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney has emerged as a target for a senior football department position with the Suns"

    I wonder how long he has know about this?

    They've had a fair go at poaching our on and off-field talent e.g Harbrow, Justin Cordy and now J-Mac.

    Time to have a crack back and target one of their players.

    Karmichael Hunt?

    You're never finished as a footballer until you've been tried at FF for the Bulldogs.

    I can recall him kicking a goal so he would bring something we're lacking.

    I can recall all the lousy full forwards that did play for us kicking a goal. Even Tim Walsh.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Those filthy rotten bastards are pillaging us again. When are we going to get one back from them like we did GWS with Tom Boyd?
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

    Well don't put him in the arse kicking squad at the next rally. Even if he found one to kick he'd probably miss.

    Re: Jason McCartney

    Where did you hear that GVGjr?

    If true, I’d suggest he and the club have known for sometime. Interesting we are still letting him run point on our trades. JMAC has manged our list and contracted players really well, however the trade side of things he has not been his strong suit.

    Re: Jason McCartney

    It's fanciful to think his current contract predicament is just happenstance. If true this won't be a recent development. The AFEL would've been sniffing around for likely types to go and fix their expensive mess.

    Perhaps he'll just use it to leverage a better deal from us. I'd rather that than him walking immediately after shepherding us through trade period.

    It's on the News.com.au site. There is an article on some coaching changes at the Suns and Ashcrofts departure

    Didn't J Mac say he was happy at the dogs and they were just adjusting his role?

    He said as much on trade radio last week, but he’s hardly going to come out and say that he’s leaving because of a better offer from another club.

    He’s got a strong track record and would be a strong candidate for many clubs. If he’s looking to move into a new role and make an impact, it’d be a terrific opportunity for him.

    Re: Jason McCartney

    I don't get the angst, and if he is leaving, having him run this period and seeing out his strategy is the best thing to do. Replacing him within a short period of the trade period would be madness.

    What would also be madness is phoning in the last few months of your contract in such a small industry, and burning an employer who's been very good to you.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
