Following our exes...................

Re: Following our ex's...................

Ironically it was JFK who said that victory has 100 fathers and defeat is an orphan which is the quote that best fits here

Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.

That and the true meaning behind Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes are two of the main lessons I've taken from my roughly twenty years working life.

I talked to Simon at a presentation B-Mac gave the player sponsors in the ELC and I'm not sure if he said it anywhere else since but at the time JJ was the late selection he was most proud of.

He picked JJ when JJ couldn't get in the WA colts team if I remember correctly.

Actually...

Kennedy used the "victory" quote which was a slight variation on the original "success" quote that was originally thought to be said by George Washington but is now thought to have been said by Mussolini's son in law Galeazzo Ciano.

I was watching one of the new 60 year JFK doco’s in in those post bay of pigs pressers where he said that line, he also said one of my new favourite quotes. “An error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it”.

I think that’s equally apt. We cut Howard quick enough for a first rounder.

Matty Boyd out of Frankston seconds too IIRC. A 19 year old playing VFL 2s was an incredible pick.

His successor came close to grabbing Anthony Scott straight out of the ammos (we eventually got him into our VFL program for a year first) so there are some leftfield successes.

Re: Following our ex's...................

First year as a recruiter and I think he was a part timer.
I heard that he was given an instruction to land players who kicked the ball from point A to B quickly and that was part of the reason why he reached for Howard and then Tutt. Eade wanted players with that trait.

Also selected the Magic Man, Shane Thorne, with a late pick that year - he disappeared even quicker than the Lambada.

Wasn't Boyd was well before Dalrymple's time?

Dalrymple was the recruiting manager from 2010 to early 2018. He was a development coach before that.
Boyd arrived in 2015 but his recruitment would have been more due to Ryan Griffen's departure and Jason McCartney as the list manager.

Toby McLean has signed with Old Ivanhoe in VAFA B grade.

He'll rip B grade apart. Inside and outside the contest, he'll be so strong and just getting the footy for fun.

Not sure why he isn't playing A grade
