Hope he stays out of jackets way. Jackets is still the man
Depends on how you want to look at it.
Did the coach have the final say and wanted to keep pressing for premierships and by the time they knew it wasnt going to happen, they were stuffed.
That’s my most likely scenario because O’Brien has put together multiple flag winning lists either from recruitment or manager so i doubt he just butchered this current one.

No one gets in the way of the prince of Tullamarine
It says he’s only been list manager since 2021
That’s probably true but he’s also been the main recruiting guy.
He might be here to replace RFK or it may be part of Vozzo’s plan to help Rosa with some experience all the while keeping Dudoro out of the way.
It came out of the blue so i’m just guessing tbh.
Wait, Rohan ‘International man of mystery’ O’Brien?
Yeah baby! Yeah!

Seems a step down in responsibility. Presumably it’s part-time?
Would love an organizational chart for the recruitment team. Who is actually in charge?
AD - transitioning out
Forster Knight - Current head recruiter
O’Brien - recruiter, does he report to RFK?
Rosa - is he under all 3 at this stage? or list manager

He will take on a role as a Bombers recruiting officer and reunite with Essendon chief executive Craig Vozzo, with the pair working closely over a long period at the Eagles where Vozzo was football boss.
Essendon is in a transition phase for its list management team, with former Eagle and Suns player Matt Rosa appointed last September as the Bombers’ AFL talent and operations manager, with O’Brien to take on a support and mentoring role for Rosa as part of his position.
He will add experience to the Bombers’ recruiting network and be predominantly focused on junior football.
Vozzo saw right through Dudoro and has shifted him out of recruitment/lists for good.
