Whatever the root cause/causes the bottom line for our club is pizz poor onfield performance. What CAN this guy realistically be expected to achieve in 6 months to start some sort of recovery from the mess of the last 7 years?

I agree to an extent BBO. I reckon that Jackson is the first step. A circuit breaker if you will. Hopefully, whoever the next CEO is they need to be handed that Jackson report directly from the man himself. It cant be sanitized or buried by anyone with an agenda.

plan - fix pathetic performing club

when - yday

easy job to do you would think

Disappointed there hasn't been any update on the changes/improvements made on his first day. ;-)

I hope you had a good first day, Peter. I also hope you have sore feet from kicking a number of a*ses

I would have thought there would have been something posted on the website or even Twitter saying welcome.

Is he coming here to assist MFC or to report back to the AFL?

Maybe his first week is to interview every listed player and find out why they cannot play good football under Mark Neeld.

He's a spy for sure!!!

My bad... apologies - looks like I might be one of those pea brains he was referring to :-)

He can skip jones and Clark. Whilst Spencer can refuse to testify on the basis that no coach could make him a good footballer

James Hird inherited a very good list thanks to a lot of hard work by Matthew Knights.

Even Essendrug scum who called for his head will admit it now.

Hird & Bomber made the job of Knights untenible.

& both of them are looking very suspect today.

Yeah, only Knights was a [censored] coach...or at least wasn't to a standard expected by Essendon and its fans.

Call them scum, call them whatever, they have standards and they are justified in those standards. How does Melbourne stand up against Essendon over the past 50 years?

We shouldn't accept 24-goal losses, 100-point losses, no matter what the end goal. I literally go into every game CONFIDENT, very CONFIDENT, that a 100-point loss is possible.

THAT'S untenable.

Well, what have Kochie and the coaching staff achieved at Port since last October?

cook yes. Be careful with the freo pair. They inherited a club Schwab made a lot of money for (2 team town in mining boom state I could've made them money). And they've spent it on a coach who fell short at st Kilda an now has left them staring at a dark hole when their best performed players are over 30. Now I love Lyon as a coach for match day but freos 2 best players are approaching 30 and recovering from surgery. They've got clever depth for sandilands but now with Kepler out who knows who is going to be a tall forward for Freo.

I would argue Freo's best player is Nat Fyfe and they have a lot of coin to target some A graders come seasons end, my mail is Harry Taylor is in their sights and Buddy is also being looked at with Woodside providing a 3rd party deal.

Yes Schwab helped them clear a massive debt but what the other two have done is made them a hard nosed club changing their culture, they now expect to win, it's no longer about being competitive and winning just derbies for the Dockers

My bad... apologies - looks like I might be one of those pea brains he was referring to :-)

All is forgiven

i am not disagreeing.

But Matthew Knights wasn't a terrible coach. He just wasn't Essendon.

Mark Neeld is a different story.
