#AFL Round 19 Weekly Discussion Thread

I don't think you need to ask permission to interview anyone. The only person who needs to agree is the interviewee.

Caro is not living in the real world.

It is important protocol when you are interviewing a contracted staff member for another job.

I thought there was a rule it was ok to interview an assistant during the year for a senior job (I.e. a promotion), but not for another assistant job.

On that basis, Kirk would have been ok to have an interview with North.

Apparently Norf are seriously looking at Blakey as a potential coach. I'm not sure what Blakeys long term ambitions are; hopefully he wants to stay in Sydney. We don't want to lose him (or Nick).

Take 3: Nick was asked On The Mark what he would do if his father John got a head coach job in Victoria? Nick answered he couldn't see himself leaving the Swans, he loves the club he always dreamt playing for. He then jokingly said John can move to Victoria and mum can stay with him in Sydney (as he still lives at home). His earliest footy memory is hanging around Goodsie in the Swans change rooms.

That was my impression. Nick should play 250+ games for the Swans.

Watching the 3rd quarter of the Adelaide/Saints match. The umpiring is woeful. So many obvious Adelaide infringements not penalised.

Home crowd advantage. Always interesting to watch two neutral sides playing as you can get an unbiased view of the umpiring - and it's often not pretty :-(
