    Bartel has publicly said he wants to move into footy ops full time.

    I’d love for us to be bold enough to go after him and get him.
    He will land at the cats or a big club.

    Re: Club to Conduct Review

    Matt Spangher as forward line coach without coaching experience is a no-no but Jimmy Bartel heading a footy department without football administration experience is a good idea?

    This is not directed at you but I don't quite get the criticism that is often directed towards Spangher. He was missing Bruce, JUH took a long time to establish himself and Darcy was working though injury challenges for the first half of the season. Naughton and Weightman needed a bit more support.

    I'll judge him more about how the forward line functions next season.

    Bartel is football director at GWS and has worked at Brisbane in list management.

    I’d say that is relevant experience.

    Dare say our defence and midfield went backwards this year.

    Fwd line can get better but that wasn’t what hurt us.

    Good question, and how do we think he's going?

    I'm not too phased about Bartel, and to be honest my question was more about Spangher and the shit he cops around here rather than Bartel himself.

    It's fine G, nor do I and my post was intended to point to the bullshit he's copped all year. Aza's infatuation with Jimmy the dream boat was just a vehicle to do so!

    Our coaching team was ripped apart late last year and never recovered, and as you point out the personnel within the forward line probably didn't help.

    He was a rad player and we love him don't question the gods.

    Chris has seen Bevo get us into two grannys in 5 years he's vibing and knows it's a good bet that Bevo can win another one before he's done.

    Rightfully so I say.

    p.s. Grant is a legend! He is our James Hird minus the cheating bit.

    This rad?




    Chris is fine, most likely. We wouldn't ever know anyway because footy clubs are footy clubs.

    He's rad but you're asking a lot here.

    Re: Club to Conduct Review

    Ive asked this a couple of times and I still wonder if this is actually happening?

    No mention if Maple is being replaced or did we use his salary to help bring in Lade.

    Listening to Liam Jones it seems Rohan Smith is staying on as backline coach.

    Anyone else heard anything?

    OK I've heard a bit today. Smith very likely to stay in the same role. Lade is an extra and Maple will be replaced.
    2 more resources into the footy department as well but not sure what that looks like.

    Wasn’t Maple replaced by Lade?

    No Maple was coach, development and operations manager. Lade will be midfield coach, Webb stoppages and opposition strategy.
