Re: Jason McCartney

Rendell sounds good but I wonder if he'd stick his beak in too much for the recruiting side and quickly find himself at odds with Dalrymple, much like Jason was rumoured to be?

I'm not so sure on this GD, I've seem him at games this year and I think he would be more likely to support and mentor rather than take over. Just an opinion and without any real evidence.

According to Brian Waldron:

"Matt Rendell and Jason Cripps are going to St Kilda.


Scott Clayton is going to replace Cripps at Port Adelaide."

So they're both still available?

Worringly so is Scott Clayton...

Re: Jason McCartney

It's a shame if Rendell isn't going to be a list manager but we should have a number of candidates interested.

Re: Jason McCartney

We should already have one lined up, we obviously had decided to look around a while ago, we weren't looking to signup JMac I'm a hurry and maybe the change in the role we didn't see Suiting him or visa versa.
Or maybe they made an offer he couldn't refuse.

Re: Jason McCartney

Half this board always bemoan him getting bent over at the trade table. So for them, surely it's an upgrade that he's at the club full of young and gettable talent!?

Personally, I'm disappointed. But cest la vie.

I'm with you mostly. Much of the board isolate trade period into individual deals rather than looking at it from a strategic perspective overall, where the outcome is more important than the individual deals.

It doesn't help that most of the media, with journalistic backgrounds (if we're lucky) dish out opinion on negotiation principles they've never had to employ themselves as the trade period is live. The big picture gets forgotten.

J-Mac performed well with his time with us. I would have liked us to turn the list over more each year but there is a bit more to it than just him. The trade aspect has been over played as there is always a committee that oversees the decisions. We are not perceived to be a destination and I don't see that as his fault.
I am surprised he is leaving to do the same job somewhere else because I thought he was more ambitious than that.
I remain confident we will find a quality replacement and generally it's not a bad thing to bring in fresh people to a club.

We have the second fewest number of players recruited from other clubs on our list, despite bringing in 3 this trade period. Maybe with those 3 things are turning around, and Carlton aren't exactly the yardstick of the AFL, but it is an issue

I could be wrong, but I thought I read he would oversee both list management and recruiting?

Any chance Dalrymple is going to be given a promotion?

Id hope not, in the sense of his drafting ability being sublime and probably worth more to the club. But, I'd be giving him more money to ensure he stays though.

My initial thoughts were the same as yours. But upon reflection if he wants to expand his role and assume more responsibility and he is capable of it, I think we should promote him, otherwise we risk losing him.

We will still have him at the club at overseeing the recruiting and ensuring that the process is still robust and as a result I am confident that we would still see the same results at the draft table.

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.
