00:00I'm very delighted to make two fairly significant football department announcements.
00:04Our first football department appointments and the recruiting news manager space,
00:08which is an area of immediate importance for us and opportunity.
00:13So we've got Derek Hyne here who will be our head of recruiting.
00:20A storied contribution to our game and most notably Collingwood Football Club,
00:24well over 20 years.
00:25He's instrumental in building premiership lists, finals, contending teams
00:31and a wealth of knowledge and experience and he'll be such a valuable addition to our team.
00:37And Todd Patterson, a native Tasmanian.
00:39Having spoken to Brendan and Alistair on several occasions,
00:45no, it was an easy decision.
00:49I spoke to a lot of confidants who I've dealt with over the years
00:54and everyone was universal in their opinion of what the opportunity presents.
01:01And they're trusted confidants of mine
01:05and to see that come to fruition is just, you know, it's very exciting.
01:13Thank you very much.
