Hello “localbomber”. Since you asked so nicely:
My comment was more aimed at it being a poor article than a criticism of Vozzo who seems a solid enough operator. Having said that, having read the article about our list management strategy, I’m not particularly clear on what our list management strategy is.
-
We want to target top tier players who fill needs who are younger than 28? Cool. There is not a club in the land who wouldn’t say similar (maybe Collingwood). What are the list needs?
-
We want players who fit in culturally. Ok, I’m sure every club would say that. What is the culture we are trying to build?
-
It takes time but not 8 years. Ok, what is your expectation on when we should be contending?
Hard to get a read of what any of that actually means but there is a conspicuous absence of the word “rebuild”. And so, again, it all feels like we are having a bob each way which has been the same story for 20 years. Won’t say we are rebuilding but not in a position to contend any time soon. No apparent conviction in anything we do.
At least he didn’t mention “standards”. Shudder.
