Hine to be football manager and Wright to be head of recruiting would be more inspiring.
Head recruiter is more important.

Footy manager role is a people manager role. So you need the requisite skills, especially when you consider the egos of the people you are managing.
I say if Walsh is getable, do it. He has proven ability in this area, and will make tough decisions.
And it will **** over North which is always a good thing

Yes.
Football department experience - tick
Hawthorn Machine - tick
Ex CFC Champ - tick
A step up from his current level, so if he was keen it would show he has drive and ambition. His experience in recruiting could be tapped into as well.
That is an inspired suggestion. |
Have reservations. Hawks recruiting has been mixed and their game plan's going out of style.
As a rule I think it's impossible to have an informed opinion on these type of appointments and then just as impossible to evaluate success or failure. Someone will be our football manager next year, how much that determines our success on the field is completely unknowable.

I had an epiphany over night & would love to see the great James Clement come back and do it...
How good would that be.
Quality person, high morals, knows his football, leader, MBA - and prob more by now. He could have the Dir. of Football or CEO role in my books. |

I like your thinking and I strongly agree with your premise that ability + humility is a powerful combination. If Hird has taken the lessons from his humiliation he might be an excellent recruit - but you'd have to test whether Hird's character was at fault or just his experience and judgement, the first time around. Many of the best people and best managers I know are those who have digested their mistakes and learnt from them. |
That's true. In another Collingwood "group" I belong to on a series of questions in the pre season of 2015 time capsule, one particular wag as a response to the question "what will be the most remarkable headline in 2015?" contributed:
"It was never about me" James Hird
Still cracks me up now.

Like, for all of the above reasons. How is his wife's health? Does she still need/want to be in WA?

Last known story published in April 2010 suggests she's in good health after a "life-saving" kidney transplant.
Here's hoping she's still well and Jimmy is enjoying retirement.
