Re: Jason McCartney

No reason why he shouldn't be considered but it's more about meeting with player managers, working on a list profile and plotting out the next number of years rather than just assessing talent. Perhaps that doesn't suit him.

Dalrymple's role in talent identification and acquisition is a different set of skills to the hard nosed negotiating and making difficult calls that Jmac's role called for I would have thought.

Why would you want to move Dal away from recruiting, crazy talk.

Exactly. It's only the government that promotes its employees into positions where they have no idea what they are doing.

Wrong !! I work for one of the two big grocery companies and my god the people promoted are about 18,casual and have no experience in anything, then try and tell people of 50 that have been in the industry over 10 years what to do.
I have worked in both private and government run companies and I will tell you the government has better promotion chances if you have experience, private companies want kids who have no idea and will just say yes to everything. The managers and immediate co ordinators are the most inept people I've ever worked under.

It is actually bureaucracy that promote to the level of incompetence and the all the big companies match the public service in that regard.

Lots of rules to prevent people who are good at their job from actually just doing their job.

On the position of Dalrymple, we should simply be making sure he has no reason to want to leave and he should never be promoted away from what he is really at the cutting edge for expertise.

Happy to give him any title that makes him feel valued, but please keep him in charge of recruiting while he is doing such a fantastic job.

Why fix something that’s not broken ? Darymple’s been brilliant in the last few years ( 1st year aside) .

Oh yes! There is a Frontline episode called Eye Disease that addresses exactly that point. They give Mike Moore a new title to keep him happy-Executive Producer but he keeps conflating the acronym (EP) in his head with ELP and constantly refers to himself as the "Extra Long Penis". Great EP of a great show!

Amazing show. Sad that Current Affairs shows are now actually less professional than Frontline.

Were they ever really more professional?

Re: Jason McCartney

I don't understand why we wouldn't give Dalrymple a shot. Showing good skills in one position shouldn't preclude you from being promoted into another position should you have ambitions in that area...

I have no idea whether he is interested but if he is, shouldn't we be giving him a chance rather than telling him to keep living life inside his current cardboard box? Preventing people from challenging themselves is one surefire way to trigger them to move into another organisation who will offer them that chance...

I don't disagree with this, however it would need to be Dalrymple wanting the move and at the very least, I would want him to have an oversight of the recruiting side of the operation.

How would he go making tough decisions about players he's recruited to the club? Could his judgments about players and their potential to play certain roles lead to imbalances in the list?

If he's interested I think he interviews for the role but there's a few matters we'd want to be comfortable with, along with him being the most credentialed candidate before proceeding.

Re: Jason McCartney

Any chance Dalrymple is going to be given a promotion?

Damn.

[Bornadog]

Re: Jason McCartney

Damn.

Probably the reason he left

Re: Jason McCartney

Are you saying he applied for the list managers role and was overlooked?
