Brendan McCartney

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I regard this as absolutely bad news.

[Pates 9,537]

This will sound really selfish but I don't want him to get the senior Bombers job. He is a massive asset to our club and is a big part of our coaching structure for the future. When Roos departs next year Goodwin will need a right hand man that has been with him from early days to see him through his first year of senior coaching.

Hoping Woosha will take the deal offered to him, although I wouldn't wish anyone upon that place right now.

[Ted Lasso 16,984]

Neeldy should put his hand up for the role

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

OMG

F off Essendon you scum

[rjay 23,970]

I would be very surprised if he got the job but good luck to him if he does.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Reckon Swoop Northey would still be up for it.

Why did they call him "Swoop"?

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I think Macca has settled well into his role at the Dees and it will now be starting to produce dividends. I think Macca likes the new environment and sees much that he can do without the limelighht and asssociated pressures.

Who in their right mind would go to Essendon and it's vulture culture when you have a perfectly good ( and growing ) job already

Melbourne is going places...Essendon's going straight to hell...do not pass go !!

Yeah but its a development coach gig vs a senior coach gig....they dont come around all that often. Im worried. Really want this guy for at least a few more years.

I wouldn't be surprised - he looks like the best option available.

And I would wish him well but his replacement would be difficult.

I suggest a Development Coach has greater security of tenure to a Senior Coach, especially at AFL level!

Classic HFF, comes from nowhere, swoops on the ball and belts it through.

[H_T 2,941]

Burns and Dew were the others mentioned. I'd give them both equally a chance if Worsfold falls through.

[1 red eye 1 blue eye 759]

If he gets the job good for him, we have to deal with it. We'll find somebody to compliment Goody. This is the way of the MFCSS free MFC.

Just like Geoff!

I don't think they're looking too hard then if that's the case.

If we lose him, what's Sando doing???I know he's in an AFL job currently but was tipped to be joining Buckley at some stage.

Nothing more than a gut feeling. Reckon Dew might be the most interested in the role if can be convinced that WH aren't just a bunch of Dheads !!

[Chook 14,605]

The Bombers can nick off. I never share my Maccas with anyone, let alone someone involved with the Essendon Football Club.

[Willmoy1947 3,808]

Wonder they haven't tried Goody again as well.....

[Willmoy1947 3,808]

How does Lyon put up with this bloke on the same show....

[DemonWheels 973]

Would be pretty peeved if he left us after only one year in the job, actually only about 8 or 9 months since he started I think?

As a side note: in the same way that we're concerned about picking up an Essendon player who could be potentially banned by WADA in the coming months, how would anyone take on the coaching job with the possibility that the majority of the players could be banned? Tough gig I reckon.

[bluey 892]

Tony Abbott would have a greater chance of being appointed.

Have you watched the Footy Show in the last few years? Nobody with integrity is involved in that [censored] excuse for "entertainment." This is why Lyon puts up with a [censored] like Barrett.

And because $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[rjay 23,970]

I don't think Lyon is any better.

[Chook 14,605]

Because Lyon has fully bought into the AFL Media Circus™.

[poita 3,667]

If McCartney is the bees knees, why are we so keen to offload Watts & Toumpas? Wouldn't it be better to give McCartney a couple of years to work his magic with them?

[H_T 2,941]

Because Lyon has fully bought into the AFL Media Circus™.

Haven't they pulled the plug on that show yet?
