I’m assuming he’d be a specialist ruck coach.
Maybe Scott doesn’t like how Jamar is performing.

Bizzare. He left the club because he was certain we were going to make his babies grow 3rd arms.

You know what? I’d be happy to have him back at the club. The way he left EFC probably could’ve been handled better, and for a looong time I was massively ■■■■■■ off with him. But it would’ve been a massive strain on all those involved with the club at the time. If Scott thinks he’s going to be an asset to the coaching panel then I’m good for him to be back. Draper needs guidance and Paddy was a top class ruckman.

EDIT: Seen it might be to do with Indigenous welfare. Even better if that’s the case!

That makes sense I guess but it’s hard not to be cynical after what happened in 2014

It’s jobs for the boys, pure and simple.

You don’t employ someone who hated the club to look after the welfare of those engaged at the club.

Reckon Ryder is best mates with dodoro or some ■■■■. Probably getting an acreage out in some new development somewhere for his services.

Now we just need to get a Carlisle back to provide a four word review of where this club is at.

There was obviously stuff going on in the background when Paddy left. I’m more critical of the manner , and the derailing during that elim final week , than of him leaving as such.

He may actually have some valuable insights as an indigenous welfare position. And maybe ruck coaching as well.

We offered him a spot before saints tottaly forgot about that

Now that nobody else is offering him money. I suppose the club, that may have caused irreparable damage to his children isn’t so bad anymore. Funny that.
