Never heard of this bloke but I reckon I can find a way to be outraged at the decision.

If JHF thinks he is a cancer, then I am completely sold on McPherson.

Heād have double celebrations on his birthday if heās a Collingwood supporter.
If he barracks for us, hopefully he just respects the day for what it really is, which has little to do with footy.
Which is how the club likes to treat it.
So JHF, a player who didnāt invest in the club and refused to adhere to the professional standards calls the Development Manager a cancer. Iām wondering if there was some sour grapes there?

I donāt know, ask the person who said it.
Should fit right in with a club that hasnāt won a final in 18 seasons.
I think Iām with a few Essendon fans that is curious how all these managers and heads will all synergise or complement each other. Do other clubs have people in all these roles too?
Iām looking forward to being able to do a best 22 for our coaching and development staff

Could have sworn the club has got coaches from leading teams in the last 5 years - Rutten, Caracella, Giansirucasa etc - Continue making up stories.
Who cares about social media which is full of misinformed opinions! Social media does not determine whether the staff can do their job.

Isnāt that what I said?
I agree that social media isnāt the best indicator but just being hired by the awful execs at EFC is a red flag.
Iām pretty cynical about both appointments. A guy Josh had already worked with closely and another guy already there who Josh had worked with closely. Nice safe picks for Josh. Feels an awful lot like Josh suring up his own position and making appointments in areas he knows weāre poor in but didnāt want to be accountable for fixing himself. Heās hired known quantities who are unlikely to make him look bad but heāll take all the credit in the event that they make him look good

I donāt know if heās evil or not but this stinks of upper middle management creating and appointing additional middle managers to say yes to him, cover his ā ā ā ā and insulate him from complaints/criticism

I think itās perform or walk for Josh. Someone had to take the reins given the ā ā ā ā show we are. Heās the least evil given heās only had a year with us and was at the premiership team the year prior.
However if we do anything wrong next year heās going to be under immense pressure.
yeah seems a bit odd. comes from melbourne goes to north in the midst of their ā ā ā ā show recent period and somehow walks into the club and becomes the biggest cancer in what less than 12 months ? really the place thatās had a coach quit after a year cos trying to run the joint mentally broke him, noble being sacked a year and a half into his tenure so they could chase clarko and the ā ā ā ā show that that has brought, and many other issues theyāve had.
but this guy mcpherson was the biggest cancer at the joint, thatās actually somewhat impressive tbh.
And cancer at north, well considering that could mean he came from a culture of being brutally honest to a culture that didnāt like that (ironically scott could face a similar fate if our lovey dovey players donāt like his hard nosed edge) and they didnāt like him telling them home truths or didnāt like him sugar coating it, or holding peoples hands.
tis not to say i donāt believe he was a problem at north, just thereās no context as to the reasons why (unless they come out later in this thread as i only got to this post which is 5 hours old ha)
