I will put this out there.....the next coach has already been sewn up - Mark Thomson. He has been treated appallingly by the bombers, will be stabbed in the back when the French Prince returns, is a great coach, he and Roos are great mates, Jackson thinks he is the "ants pants", and he will want revenge - big time!

I proffer the following scenario: 29 mins into the final quarter the bombers lead the dees by 5 points in the 2017 grand final. Watts grabs the ball in the centre bounce, kicks 60 metres for hogan to take a screamer 55 meters out, the siren sounds, and he dobs it half goal,post height (Buckannara like). Hird goes nuts! And refuses to come out of the coaches box.

Thomson has nothing more to prove and gives Hird the "two finger" salute.

Oh what bliss!!!

Roos and Thompson has a coaching duo is enough to make ANY football fan salivate.

Unfortunately, I can't see it happening. IMO this saga has had its toll on Thompson, and I doubt he'll coach again in the near future.

He's damaged goods.

Not sure that I agree, but I love the imaginative ending. :blink:

Revenge is a big motivator, and I suspect he is going to be treated appallingly. Little and the Essendon board continue to exhibit the insensitivity and boorishness about which they have become so famous.

I suspect Hird will come back, and it will a destroy Essendon...

As far as I am concerned the next coach is employed at the hawks at present .

By the end of 2016 he will be available.

End of story for mine.

Is that when Cameron Bruce is out of contract? Or Adem Yze? :lol:

I don't believe the club has made a decision, I think they are holding out hope of retaining Roosy, having said that I firmly believe Bomber will be an assistant at mfc next year.

Garry Lyon keeps hinting at that. Roos is also good mates with another Lyon whose family might like to return to Victoria in a couple of years.

Garry Lyon can stay the f**k out of any coaching discussions! Sorry Red, had to get that off my chest.

It seems like we get excited every time Clarkson's contract nears its expiry, only to be disappointed yet again.

Is this the same coach who snubbed one of his own stalwarts for " disloyalty" ( Ablett jnr ) and while still coaching the Catters was accused of making umpteen calls to a Windy Hill number from his office phone by none other than his own club president .

I reckon the hawks will be well on the slide in 2016, they might feel it's time for someone else for a re-build and Al might like a new challenge?

Most of Roos former underlings are aiming to coach teams late into September and do what every coach aspires to be involved in, and learn how to do...

Win a flag.

Or

they could come to Melbourne and be second banana in the 7th year of a rebuild that has yielded a handful of wins... this season.

Tough choice.

They'll come if we rise in 2015, be onboard for 2016, and ready to take over in 2017.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
