List Mgmt. Brady Rawlings | Head of Football Talent (Recruitment, LM & TPP)

[amaz199]

In isolation maybe. But given where we are at nobody is immune to being at least questioned and it's not unreasonable to say they all need to improve: From CEO, Coach, Recruiting, Players... I'd even consider dragging the Peninsula Ladies into head office to explain what they are doing to improve performance.

I'll go after the coaches when the playing group have shown that they can do it, but the result is still the same.

The fact is, the players weren't playing to instructions and it was a bunch of individuals out there. Not good enough.

Ah! The nutjobs are out in force again. No one posted in this thread for almost two months because we were showing signs of an improved team, but one poor half (extremely poor if I'm honest) and the morons are shouting from the hilltops again.

Whether he stays or goes is irrelevent, we are where we are for reasons that go as far back as 2016, perhaps further, and to lay blame at the feet of one individual is narrowminded, simplistic and truly idiotic.

Yeah I’m never going to check this thread again.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Yes they do. Rhett Bazzo, Tom Cole, Jack Petrucelle, Bailey Williams, Xavier O'Neill, Jarrod Cameron just to name a few

C'mon Frank - don't tell me you're walking around screaming "Bazzo you beauty!!! And Cameron again!!"

Is Brady Rawlings one of the best in the business?

If yes, play on.
If no, move on.

Simple.

Come on now the current list and its deficiencies isn't the list manager's fault, it's something that happened nine years ago

What is idiotic is excusing the one common denominator in the mess from any blame whatsoever?

What improvement - our pre-season form was shit, we lost to an injury depleted Bulldogs and got smashed by an injury depleted Swans. We beat Melbourne who are 0-4.

You are the biggest happy clapper on this forum. Noting is ever wrong (despite us being the worst side in history) and the man responsible for some of the worst contracts, trades and recruitment decisions in history has absolutely no responsibility over a five year period.

Sorry to break it to you but you’re the idiot here.

 

[Mr north man]

Viney could give him the flick? Why doesn’t he? Viney could’ve put the kibosh on the Daniel trade. Why didn’t he? :stern look

Because Viney has no say and remember this club doesn’t get rid of mates.
Viney will walk away from this club if he knows this club will get rid of him before they get rid of a mate

Where did I excuse him from blame? Please point it out. There are dozens of people that should be blamed for the predicament we have found ourselves in, and Brady has to take some of blame, but to lay the blame at the feet of a single individual is idiotic.

Just because I'm not as boisterous and permanently negative like you, doesn't mean I'm happy with the position we are in or the length of time it is taking. I want results and I want them now, but I understand that it will take time (not too much longer I hope) and blaming Brady for all our problems and demanding his removal is no guarantee those problems will be solved, it will just make the idiots happy.

And as an Adelaide supporter mentioned today in another thread, improvement is not linear, we are going to have these up and downs as we work our way up the ladder, I would expect to see a few more games, halves or quarters like we saw on Saturday over the course the season, but I'm also expecting many more games, halves and quarters like we saw in the first three games, where we are competitive against stronger opposition and dominant against weaker opposition.

It's a shame that the most level-headed and thoughtful person on the NMFC board today is a Crows supporter.

 

[Dinkers]

Strange that nobody else around the club hears the same noise you are hearing.

Well I'm not sure other clubs list managers are pranking with 2:00am calls left on the clubs answering machine.

" Hi Norf, youse are ****ed at list management and recruiting, hum on my ball-lah-lahs Rawling lol" and then hanging up. Just for the next days early riser Beryl from admin to walk in and see the answering machine blinking and thinking oh we've a msg i better have a listen.
Then deleting the msg , so poor Brady doesn't get wind of it.

The moral, if we all say or see that Brady isn't any good why hasn't someone in a place of power questioned it. Or done something about it.

You see Brady isn't the problem, it's no one at our club will make the tough decisions.

Should I have put the sarcasm thingy at the end?

No. I did post my response with a laugh full well knowing you were taking the piss. :stern look

Yep, deadset laughable post to blame our current list profile on something, something, 9 years ago...

****ing hell.

 

[Zondor]

We are where we are for reasons that go back to 2016. Shit I’m not sure maybe even further than that. So how can we apportion blame on Rawling for the last 5 years? After all he is only the List Manager.

So our entire club from list manager, to coaches to players are soft

Maybe you should have posted a laugh emoji to clear up all confusion.

I don't blame Brady for everything and have been far from a hater.
You can only recruit what you can attract to the club, but that doesn't mean you overpay.
List managers all have their hits and misses on picks and trades and there's a slice of blame pie for everybody involved in the decisions, but it's fair to say we haven't excelled the last 5 years.
There is a lag time on the development of young players, that's part of it, as well as coaching and players performing out of on the ground, but it's fair to say we haven't excelled in recruiting and list management.

I concur and neither do I blame Rawlings for this mess, getting rid of Rawlings wouldn't be difficult, it's the others who seem to NGAF that is of concern.

But I had a chat with a learned soul who watered down my expectations today, but built a solid case for 2027.

So who do you blame for “this mess” Virgil? And don’t give a Dans Andrew Creeping Assumption response. :stern look

Simple.

Well the reality is we're not going to really attract the best in the business if we're honest, unless we find someone who hasn't had the opportunity in recruiting/list space and turns out to be great.

Oh I blame those that oversee the club, Brady will be Brady until he's moved on. He wanted CCJ and overpaid massively for a player who couldn't get a game at his original side.
He overpaid for Daniel.
He also was one out with his demands we draft P Curtis, yes it was Rawlings who did that.

So yes he has an eye for talent ( Curtis) but why the **** would you let him near any sort of trade negotiations is beyond me.

Who is going to tap him on the shoulder, the Pres, the GM, who?

What we know is that Rawling is an arse clown so first things first we should move him on. Then we look at bringing in someone who has some sort of clue. To continue with Rawling and Claytons, when quite clearly they aren’t up to it, would be stupid. :stern look

He got Sheezel right as well. What’s that? 2 correct picks in 5 years with all the draft capital we have had. Not a great strike rate. Remember brother that this is the worst North Melbourne we have seen in our lifetime and he has played a large part in where we currently stand. Sure you can also apportion blame on others but he is a major reason why we are where we are. :stern look

He traded a future first for Whitlock. Idgaf. The blokes ******ed.
