What do you put it down to TCD?

Do you think he just got cold feet? or felt there was a personality that was going to be difficult for him to work with?

It's not something that I was aware of but I don't think it will pose an issue for us. He should be able to work in very well with the recruiting team and he has a great understanding of Junior football and the elite pathway.

Would have preferred Steven Icke to fill this role. He was a key figure in building Carlton's list from shambles to very good and only left because of a clash with Ratten.

I know nothing about Jason McCartney and his coaching/admin career but I don't think he has the list management experience that Icke has. Irrespective, I hope Jason does a good job - it's a massively important one for where our list is currently at.

Sorry, I have no idea.

I know James Fantasia was looking to get him across last year.

Does anyone know if Fantasia & McCartney were together at Adelaide?

Re: Jason McCartney new WB list manager

So with a list manager what Role does Fantasia now have? (serious question)

Re: Jason McCartney new WB list manager

Saw first hand what he did in Africa in terms of identifying young talent over there. Also did a lot to progress women's football, both here and in South Africa. After Africa I believe he brought a couple of South African teams over to play off at Royal Park. I spoke with him at length in the Emirates Room at the MCG on the night of the 2008 qualifying final between us and the Hawks and you could not meet a more charismatic figure.

Good luck Jason.

Agree with Sedat here. I thought Icke would have been a good get but hopefully Jason does a great job. Good luck macca.

Why would Fantasia appoint someone who could easily challenge his position in a short period of time?

Yes, Fantasia started working at Adelaide in 1995, McCartney played for Adelaide between 1995 and 1997.

Re: Jason McCartney new WB list manager

What exactly does a list manager do throughout the year?

**LostDoggy** · 01-11-2011, 06:12 AM

Re: Jason McCartney new WB list manager

I find the timing strange. All the trades, delistings and contracts for next year are done.

Thanks divvydan. I knew they were both at Adelaide but wasn't sure if it was at the same time.

Agree he has great C.V with player identification and development and also gives us an insight into what Freo are going into this draft period .
