I think he would be good choice. Very good coach for us but I suspect Mark Williams may get it. Shame for Knights. I think he's gone. Not that I care much for them. I'd like to see them struggle for a long time like we have.

 

Neale would tick all the boxes but Chocko probabaly has first shot . Marty ... Take the money and save yourself the grief; Essendon are rabble at present .

Neale Daniher will give them a real roller-coaster ride and get them damn close, but at the end of the day he wasn't a visionary and chose to use the same players year in, year out, without developing the youngsters.

Maybe Ron Barassi when the court case has finished, with Tommy Hafey as fitness coach, I have more chance of being appointed Essendon coach (I think) than Daniher, although I think the strangeness that Sheedy brought to his last few years there has infected everybody else.....as an aside I have two Bombers members where I work who have ripped up their memberships and have no intention of renewing next year

I would rate ND as a good get for the Bombers. I thought his record at MFC was pretty good, and I am suprised that his name doesn't pop up more often when clubs are in the market. Plus he would be loved at Essendon. I would like to see the reverend get a new gig and do well... But not too well.

May I ask WHY wouldn't Neale be a good fit for Essendon.?


We can only hope this happens.

But I think Neale is busy helping West Coast.

What about James Hird as assistant and ND as coach...with a view for hirdy to take over...?

like buckley/malthouse...

I agree with that, but I wouldn't put anything past the current Essendon administration.

Yep. I'd agree with that too.

Essendon do love their favourite sons....

Still heres hoping to more years languishing in the doldrums. Sorry Ash.. lol

Wasn't Neale overlooked for Knights the first time?

Possibly they thought Knights might have been their shiny armored variety..... probably think differently now ??

Neale, no, I don't think so.

IMO, Hird was asked to sway reluctant board members, but, as yet it hasn't happened, YET.

Hird is a chance, But would have to do it NOW, (whilst ReBuilding) learning over the next 2 seasons on the Job, with Williams overseeing.

Or. Bomba Thompson Would be a good get for either 2011, Or 2012 onwards.

Failing Bomba,,, then Sanderson for next year, you couldn't go past.

I don't think Dean, would leave what he's started, but watch Sean Wellman & Westy.

Bird has zip experience

Possibly they thought Knights might have been their shiny armored variety..... probably think differently now ??

I think Knights is OK. But, no young coach, with No prior results on the board, that isn't from 'within', would struggle through a rebuild phase. But, how do we know, that, thats what they planned, all along.

He's had to battle the devisions of a club & board in transition, from a couple of decades of stable "SheedyIsm". The shadows following him where dark.

yeah, would be good if Neale got the gig at the bummers. 10 years of mediocrity then leave them with the weakest list in the comp. Yeah I'd enjoy seeing them go thru what we went thru.


ND biggest problem is his inability to make the tough decision. He isn't anywhere near aggressive enough on the players that don't perform. When you're like that, you can struggle to get the best out of players, which he did (see Brad Green).

Neale Daniher could be the coach Essendon needs.

Pros

Builds a bond with and between players - an Essendon priority

Has personal Essendon history and connections - an apparent Essendon priority

Handles club politics calmly - an Essendon priority

Get's the most out of 'ordinary' players - an Essendon must-have ;)

Cons

Might not have gotten the best out of higher-level players - not much of an issue at Essendon!

And the big question, how might he have gone with all the resources of a big club at hand?

How will he go delegating to the best assistant coaches money can buy?

Remember that he now has a couple of years of experience as a footy manager at Freo to add to his ten years at the Demons.

The question is, does he have the desire to finally grab the premiership that injury cruelly, and the Bombers ironically, denied him as a player then coach?

Neale Daniher could be the coach Essendon needs.

Does he want to coach ?

What is ND's record like involving the development of players ?

Didn't he once look after some list of a Victorian team ? :rolleyes: lol wasn't particularly reknown for bringing the kids on; development probably not his long suit !! ;)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
