Who would you have JMac target this year?

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Rendell has a recruiting role at Collingwood and it was the Crows that he left after some controversy.

According to Grant Thomas he was spruiking Rendell and saying someone should pick him up in an assistant coaching role.

Note: just looked up Collingwood's site (washed hands afterwards )

Matthew Rendell - Senior National Recruiting Assistant

We might have to change this post heading soon .. Apparently Jmac is being pursued by the pies as we are in dispute about his contract renewal.

Could see this one coming I'd be concern if anyone at the bulldogs couldn't.

Webb has supposedly re-signed for 2 years. Just rumour at this stage but keep a look out

That's right, he coached Port didn't he?

Honestly that was the biggest witch hunt. He was absolutely thrown under the bus for no reason by Mifsud.

Mifsud was new to his job and was looking to assert himself probably. The politics they practice at the AFL are brutal.

Happy with that. He should see an expanded role. Good kid!

I don't think he's ever been anything other than an assistant coach.

Rendell was of the opinion at the time the AFL was not an appropriate environment for many young indigenous kids to thrive within. From memory he paraphrased his broader thoughts and suggested clubs might take the decision to not recruit players who are raised solely in indigenous families, and Misfud heard the comments second hand, possibly third. Rendell late said he was playing devil's advocate.

Rendell was naive to the political realities of his situation, Misfud really took the opportunity to make a name for himself through sacrificing Rendell.

Stefan Martin rumoured to want a return to Melbourne. We've been interested previously. Do we still want him and what would you give up? Reckon we wouldn't be the only club interested.

Pass!

That's how I read it too. I was sure that Matt Rendell stood in as an AFL coach after a mid season resignation but there's nothing on his Wikipedia page.

Why ?

I for one think he has something to offer.

I'm pleased that Shoenmakers has resigned for Hawthorn. Wasn't feeling it for him.

However Martin really does seem like a good move. I've always thought he could play, he wants to come, he's the right age to give us cover for English's development, we need cover in his position and, as he simply wants to come home, he shouldn't cost us overs.

It's a good, smart, conservative bit of business.

In what type of role?

Thinking it through and I think I'm conflating Matthew Primus and Matthew Rendell.

Both Matthews, both Ruckmen, both played at Fitzroy and both ended up in Adeliade at about the same time.

Just rumour at the moment. Not confirmed.
