Maybe he left because we gave away our picks.

The Eddie compo pick (Daisy cancelled it)
The Sam Doc pick
and shifting down a few cogs for Everitt.

Maybe Luke hoped it would be like the Cats, going for young blood every year.

If that's the case I'm not sure who you would blame for his departure. Certainly not the recruiting dept, these decisions were driven by MM.

So it's Mick fault that luke resigned?

If that's the case then why haven't there been any 'Gee Whiz' , 'Tricky Micky', 'Bitter washed up old man' , 'Sooper Dooper Coach' comments in this thread yet ?


..... That's how I always gauge whether something is Mick's fault or not...

It's on the previous page by the way...mods should close the thread. He had personal reasons - they are valid...move on.

Now that would be seriously disappointing for that to be the case. Seriously disappointing in a real sort of way.

Didn't stop many of us jumping the gun and following the standard line though. Maybe we'll learn..................probably not.

BF poster suggesting he left because he doesn't agree with who we want or will take with our first pick. Also noted that the timing probably does coincide with the sudden elevation of Cripps up the order.

So which one is it?

Because this version of events really sucks if true.

I've just read all of the posts for the first time; and it's all conjecture; and the deed's done.

Time to get over it and move on.

Em - can only go on what I was told this arvo and that was from a pretty reliable source who should know.

I always love asking what McKays role is around the club... is he a eunuch??.. sounds like you think he is...!!!

Thanks Doc.

It would be alarming if a recruiter left because he didn't agree with our choice of player and we still went ahead and picked that player.

It would be but there is a lot more than to it than that. Doc's source would know as would mine. I believe it's a combination of things and unfortunately we have lost someone we chased for an area that needs a lot of work.

I just hope that the club overhauls our recruiting department soon so that we can be competing with the top clubs in years to come because no matter how we spin it our record in this area is disastrous and shouldn't be tolerated.

I've heard of no illness but that's not to say it may not be the case.

Mick's a tough nut to crack and he's very much involved across all of the footballing aspects of our operation. Not everyone will fall into line but at least we have a method at hand.

Good thread when read from start to end in one go.

I don't know who's fault it is but it seemed like the thread to throw up any old hair brained reason for Luke's leaving and lay the blame on anyone who took my fancy.

Today is Wednesday so it must be MM's fault.

TBH my money is still on the A Davey conspiracy. The AFL draft is on the day before the 50th anniversary of a small event in Dallas. Coincidence ? I don't think so.

Given this was covered up guessing media agreed to keep it quiet

Only have look back at the NB for a strange departure in one Mr Robert Hide

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Actually no big loss to a club

nothing to do with who we would take and who he liked.

His jjob is to write reports on players....
give his imput when asked and thats it....
e would have disagreed with stuff wells did at geelong unless he was wells himself... clearly he wasnt wells .. we know that because he doesnt look like wells.. doesnt have the same name and isnt at geelong
there is a certain standard of professionalism required at a club.. his was sub par
