Ah ... i forgot about Hughes and Rogers at Freo. Jeez freo was bad back then. haha.
I wasn't meaning don't get rid of rogers ... just four months out from the 2014 draft, at least have a list or an inkling as to who you might replace him with.
Sniff around the football departments of other successful clubs/ programs and and have a chat to a few 2IC's ... see if their philosphy is something we want to buy into, or something we need.
There you go Carlton, we just started the process for you.
Such as getting Geelongs 2IC?

Who's to say st kilda or melbs don't have a 2IC with big ideas and an excellent philosophy and good contacts/ network all through the country, they've just never been given a go thus far?
They could be at any club, but we wouldn't know because we just look at the league ladder, see Port or hawthorn or the cats on top and say to ourselves, hey lets go buy that guy, he must be good!
My comment was based on we recruited a 2IC from a system regarded as good as any in the AFL and for what ever reason you want to believe he was gone within a few months.
There are some fantastic recruiting people out there. For a long while we have been regarding as the worst in the industry in this area. Not just for who is in charge but for our whole process and strategy or lack thereof.
There are a number of names we should be looking at and I'm not sure SOS should be one of them. How about Matt Rendell or Kinnear Beatson? They would be just two I would be looking at.
Was Beatson the scout/ recruiter from Brisbane? Drafted Black, Voss, bradshaw etc etc That guy can build a list ... If we can't get him, which i doubt we could, we should be looking at his understudy who'd share the same philosophies and mindset and give that guy ago.
