I can tell you now this source is quoted from Brendan McCartney himself.

He is going to the Dees on Monday. He wrote his own contract. He is VERY happy and sounds like he may even be our next senior coach in waiting. His role won't be much next year.

He rejected Essendon senior gig because of the scandal.

He built a bonfire with all his doggies stuff, had a party and burnt it cos he was treated like crap there.

Probably the only scoop I'll ever have so passing it on to fellow Demonlanders

I'm not sure Simon Goodwin will be too happy about this development.

Goodwin says hi...

Assume you mean senior assistant in waiting?

Goodwin says hi...

This confused me, but he seems very happy about his future and that he will either be senior with Melbourne or he is referring to just this giving him the chance again elsewhere.

Assume you mean senior assistant in waiting?

Possibly..but i find that bit hard to believe myself. But lets say the source popped me out out of her [censored] and knows nothing about footy. Long time friends with my mum and his wife.

For what it's worth, Hird talking about when he was at the Bombers said he was the best development coach he'd ever seen.

He was very highly regarded before that at the Cats. Could be a huge pickup on the development side.

Just confirmed on the news. Good get kurt.

Would be great if it happens. A 3rd coach keeps the 2 understudies on their toes....

Was just thinking maybe replacing Stone...

And we have plenty that need developing.

Most likely.

Hope the Dogs are paying his salary, as he had 2 years left as senior coach. They are paying everyone else's, Griffin and Cooney for starters.

Sweet beat them bastards or they are just copying me lol

Is it a competition to get the most coaches between Essendon and us?

LOL

McCartney against draft aid for Demons

He coached Ocean Grove to four premierships ... oh hang on ...

Will be a great appointment if true.

A few of us said in the George Stone thread that McCartney would be a great replacement for him.

Now to get 2 young champs for him and the rest of the coaching staff to develop to their potential. Go DEES!!!!

Awesome news. I have always respected Brendan McCartney. Hopefully he can can help with the development of our incoming draftees as well as our existing players.

They must be a tough thick skinned breed at Ocean Grove. They thrive on the being bullied approach it seems. Not like AFL princesses.

Nothing like copping saliva to the face to get you fired up.

LOL

McCartney against draft aid for Demons

Yep LOL

He probably doesn't see it the same way now that he's getting paid to help develop pick 3 haha

And we have plenty that need developing.

yes redders, but also developed in the right way, developed for hardness & for contested football... like they did down at kittyland under Bomba. turned the pusssies into rugged beasts.

lets hope they all can transform us into thrashing machines on the field, & suburban diplomats away from the playing field.

This will be a very good get, is it safe to say we have the best coaching panel in the AFL now we need results
