Welcome to the Club - Daniel McPherson

[saladin]

Hmmm.

Iirc, @Aceman had info out of North that McPherson was part of the problem in their footy department. May or may not be the full picture, of course. But gonna be interesting how this plays out.

Season 2022 - North Melbourne

On the weekend I was in conversation with a couple of South officials who know him very well and they said they would be very surprised if he was still in Melbourne next year. Very family orientated and wants to return to Adelaide. JHF was also pretty disgusted at the way the Mother’s Day story was handled and believes Daniel McPherson is the “cancer” at North. McPherson is apparently the reason why the two North officials quit recently and the belief is he is toxic.

Oh gooooood

[Bomb_Doe]

presumably we (recruitment firm?) did its due diligence…

[jonovdp]

That sounds about right for this club

Season 2022 - North Melbourne - #244 by Aceman

I’m hoping Scott had a say.

[Dunnybrush]

How about we give a bloke who was well regarded at Melbourne leading up to, and during, their premiership run a chance to show his worth at EFC?

The ‘failed’ / ‘was a cancer’ at North talk may prove to be correct, but by the same token who knows what the hell was going on at North, they are more of a rabble than us.

[Clone_Hirdy]

This club is already terminal. Adding another cancer won’t affect it.

[SillyBilly]

Im backing him in

[Sameolds2010]

We have no choice

[tassiehammer]

Buuutt, did he ever play for us???

[wasaharvsfanasakid]

@Clone_Hirdy

We tried poaching people from the top clubs and that hasn’t worked, so we have changed tact and will now only recruit from the bottom clubs

So you’re saying this role was advertised internally first

[Number10]

The club is making it harder for myself to find next year’s scapegoat for when our season falls apart. So many choices.

It’s the Monty Burns principle, have every disease known to mankind but creates a perfect balance

[Saucy]

Was McPherson in charge of picking up the slack for Mahoney at Melbourne too??

[dmaplestone]

And who cares what social media thinks!

If they had appointed him 12 months earlier we’d be lauding him, thinking we’ve achieved a coup. Viney squeezing him out shouldn’t be reason for alarm. I haven’t heard any scuttle but indicating he was a poor performer at the Demons.

He was regarded as one of the best up and coming Footy Managers 12 months ago. The Kangaroos have been widely regarded as lacking support and experience in its football department, it could be argued in his first season there he lacked support and experience around him. At Essendon, he arrives at a vastly better resourced footy department under an experienced football manager. Let’s see how he performs in a better environment.

Mahoney sits on the balcony drinking pina coladas updating bomberblitz

Fixed

[Hesonlygotaleftfoot]

I think we got the wrong one

[Drapersmullet]

I don’t know if I put much stock in the comments from a first year player who was the epitome of entitled and unprofessional, and from club officials who were, at least in part, responsible for the fetid swamp-like culture at norf

[tassiehammer]

You don’t go a lot on the roos then?
