Application for AFL coach and CEO

Having worked a bit in sport, I could always count on Andrew to email me a copy of his application for a job when there was a vacancy. The funny part was, over the years he applied for the roles of Adelaide Crows coach and CEO, Port Power coach, and The Redbacks and Adelaide Strikers coach.

It was always written in a formal but sarcastic manner, and at first it comes across a bit serious and then, after reading a few lines, you realize it’s Andrew’s sense of humour once again coming to the fore. He never missed a beat. I’ll always think of him when the key sport roles are vacant again. No one else like him!

Thank you to Brian French for sending one of Andy’s many footy applications

“I reckon I’ve seen most of his applications over the years – there may be more but I recall Adelaide (twice), Port Adelaide, Melbourne, St Kilda and possibly Freo. Surprisingly, all of them rejected his applications. Unsurprisingly, none have won a premiership since.” - Brian French
