Jason McCartney

Gee JMAC must have a lonely existence at the club as rumours were floating around he and Dalrymple are not speaking also.

He mutts just come in, sit at his desk, sign our latest signing or resign our best players and go home.

When a star is on the move, people will want to know why. We had no choice but to speak out. Only thing I'd change is holding fire for a week or so longer. Prob wouldn't have changed anything as the talk of an exit interview blow up was turning into screams, so we were going to have to respond at some point.

Maybe we should've had his exit interview the day before trade week started?

[Mofra]

Not sure why people were off him, I agree he has done a great job.

Perceptually, a poor negotiator at the trade table and rumours of not getting along with Dalrymple.

I will take a bad negotiator who who doesn't get on with anyone When he gives us a flag winning list any day.

[KT31]

I don't blame JMac or Bevo for the shit situation we were faced with. I blame Stringer.

Totally agree with you BT.
JMAc and Bevo put the club first, Jake puts Jake first.

From memory McCartney's contract expires end of November 2017.

Has anyone heard of late what the plans are in who is in charge of the list management space?

Chris Grant was very front and centre this trade and draft period. I can't recall if Chris Grant was this front and centre last trade / draft period. If he wasn't, perhaps that indicates that McCartney is on the move.

I was only thinking along the same lines earlier today.
Is it possible that Chris Grant took a more public position because of the impasse between Dodoro and McCartney?

If I'm reading more into J-Mac and him being linked to leaving could perhaps the position he coveted have been taken by someone else? At the Suns Jon Haines replaced Marcus Ashcroft as the head of football and Craig Cameron from Scott Clayton with a different reporting line.
So I think that leaves different positions at GWS and the StKilda that need to be filled. I think we are a good chance to keep McCartney

Grant was the front man for the Schache deal too IIRC, not that it necessarily means anything - all hands on deck the final day of trade period I'd imagine

Just saw this on Facebook "Western Bulldogs List Manager Jason McCartney is set to move to GWS according to AFL Reporter Jennifer Phelan."

Well that sucks ...

Dogs list manager defects to the Giants

JASON McCartney is set to be announced as Greater Western Sydney's new list manager.
AFL.com.au understands McCartney will replace the recently departed Craig Cameron at the helm of the Giants' recruiting team.

McCartney is leaving the job of list manager at the Western Bulldogs, with his contract set to expire this month.
There have been consistent rumblings of disharmony within the Dogs' recruiting team, notably with rumoured differences between McCartney and recruiting manager Simon Dalrymple.

McCartney has been at the Dogs since 2011, and played a part in assembling the club's drought-breaking premiership team of 2016.

Cameron suddenly resigned from the Giants just 11 days before Friday night's NAB AFL Draft, after accepting an expanded role with Gold Coast.

He was contracted with the Giants until the end of 2019.

The Giants were quick to distance themselves from Cameron, issuing a statement that stated they had "cut ties" with the list manager and had "immediately" started a search for his replacement.

Cameron is set to take up his role of general manager list and strategy with the Suns in mid-December.

It is understood Suns list manager Scott Clayton will finish up this week at Gold Coast after presiding over the recent national and rookie drafts.

GWS continue to copy us and poach our people/ex people

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Hoping we were attuned to his likely departure and we've a replacement waiting to step in.

GWS continue to copy us and poach our people/ex people

Best we keep Dalrymple at all cost.

Is there any competent list manager out there, excluding Scott Clayton & Terry Wallace? Could Rocket Eade do it? Bulldogtragic maybe?
