You'd have to be pretty naive to think that the coaches don't have a huge say in who gets recruited and who gets the chop - the giants got concessions probably better than what the suns did but the suns have squandered whatever they got with poor decision making.
They were enabled to land g ablett jnr and they also were enabled to pinch rugby league star karmichael hunt.
Ablett was a marquee player who guaranteed at least 10 people walked through the gate karmichael's signing made headlines but little else - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...4/news-story/e255fc8f3087e5f8f6427f3b35c67353
I'd be fine with the suns getting extra afl concessions for the next 5 years but not with hinkley at the helm.
