"As part of the changes to the list management and recruiting structure, Matthew Clarke has been promoted to the role of national recruiting manager and will start in that position after the 2016 National Draft. Matthew replaces Francis Jackson, who will remain with the Club in a part-time capacity. The Club expects to make further investments in recruiting in the future."
The fact that Clarke starts after the draft indicates Frank continues until it's over.
Sintiger said:
Yeah true, you need to be very sure when you won't know if he's successful or not for 3 plus years though Sin.
Yeah, but the drafting is pretty much a group consultation scenario.WesternTiger said:
They list n collate all their preferred options long before the draft starts n then Frank or whoever is the appointed guru gets to call the names as required. They still even do the group consult thingy halfway through each draft just to cover issues when someone they liked gets snaffled earlier than planned.
Anyone who has ever been in a position of responsibility and has left knows the feeling of being a lame duck ! Francis is a lame duck, those owning the future will make the final calls you would think.WesternTiger said:

I assume Balme was involved in the process at Collingwood so he will have some very strong opinions on the who we should or shouldn't be drafting. I doubt he will be sitting back and letting our guys run with their plans without supervision.
Also, I don't think the changes to the footy department are over just yet. Clarke may just be keeping the seat warm for a couple of months for all we know.

He meant that he didn't understand what you wrote.
"Your post does not fit he is narrative"
Do you use google translate? It's not one hundred percent accurate.
You must be an accountant. The lawyers on the board would have better language skills.
Agree Sin.Sintiger said:
Frank might read out the names but he is not the bloke signing off on them.
If Clark isn't the long term Recruiting Manager then why announce it? I would assume he is. And if he is to take charge after this draft why not wait until the draft was over and go through a thorough process to find the best available inside and outside of RFC?
As a part-time recruiting consultant, Jackson might be able to sniff out a "roughie" every now and then for the attention of the new recruiting staff ... but for all intents and purposes, Jackson's days are done and dusted at RFC.

Que? You arrive on the forum 11 days ago and commence bagging the FOF ticket while vigorously defending the board. You are a board plant. You don't possess adequate language skills to hold down a postion as a lawyer so you must be one of the accountants.
Google translate is not your friend. Have one of the lawyers proof read your posts. ;D
Board plant lol. If only i could be racking in that sort of cash my friend if only.tommystigers said:

Because we're a rabble and it's how we roll. I still have little faith in this club turning it around in the short to medium term. Both valid questions.
