Tassie has its sights on just more than Benny
, they are after Blair.
Richmond’s list manager, Blair Hartley, who masterminded the building of the Tigers list that won three premierships, remains No.1 on the Devils’ hit list to help build a team that will be competitive from its first season.
They’ve got Jack as well of course.
I remember watching the series on Stan about the player agents and what was clear was that the agents liked dealing with Blair Hartley, they found him very fair and balanced. Not the same with some of the others.
He would be a big loss especially on the back of Peggy, Benny, Balme, Dimma and from a player leadership perspective Cotchin and Riewoldt. We also lost our main recruiter in Clarke. Some of those are big losses but maybe not all of them.
Good organisations just move on but a major loss of organisational IP like that will have an effect for sure.
