Brendan McCartney

I'd be super disappointed if we were to lose McCartney.

Same. But that's footy and the club just has to learn to deal with these things. The Cats and Hawks both lost assistant coaches during finals series and went on to win. A great club is bigger than any one individual!

Trouble is, we are not a great club.

Wonder who the club would look to get as a replacement for Macca should he be succesful over at Essendon?

Funnily enough Neil Craig would have to be a candidate wouldn't he, dependent on Goodwin's relationship with him?

[Redleg 37,907]

Bombers look too far along with Worsfold and McKenna now to backtrack. Worsfold has committed by leaving the Crows. I think they are using McCartney and Burns as patsies, to appear as though there is a proper process going on.

I don't I think Worsfold has the job but those scrubbers at Essendon still want BM as his assistant.

The only problem with having fake interviews is that sometimes a fake interview is the most genuine...

Failure follows Craig everywhere it's fitting his off to Carlton.

You're super disappointed if we lose anyone. I can't recall seeing you ever say it was a good thing to see xyz go....

If we kept everyone we would be a mediocre side for many more years to come. When we lose players, assistant coaches etc it allows us to improve the side. That's what its all about.

That's super negative stuff there, jnrmac...

CAse by case basis when you lose people, otherwise you run the risk of being super blasé...

I agree with your sentiment however it is misplaced in this instance - McCartney is clearly a leader in his field and would be a big loss if he were to leave. The same is not true for many of the players who have departed recently. Nor was it a view widely shared upon the departure of say, Brad Miller, from the coaching panel.

Where's that fellow who bumped into him at the supermarket? Time to go scope out the deli.

and where's his grandmother's hairdresser's neighbour

Yze was a blow. I think underrated in our memories because of his disappointing final year.

Must be offering Worsfold a truckload of money to be associated with that absolute mess of a club

I'm fairly sure that was Brendan McCarthy he bumped into.

I would think Sanderson, he has a similar background in development working with McCartney at Geelong.

...having said that, I can't see McCartney leaving.

[P-man 13,239]

If any club is scummy enough to turn around at the last hour and tell Woosha thanks but no thanks, it's them.

I'll breathe a sigh of relief when Woosha is appointed. Until then, I'm nervous.

Or a truckload of something else?

[monoccular 16,282]

The sentimentalist in me would like Worsfold to stay at the Crows.

Now that Ess are after our Macca I have been jolted out of my sentimentality and desperately want Worsfold to coach Essendon!

I would just love the irony of The Pharmacist coaching EssUndone. How sweet. A bit like the irony of Chemist Warehouse ads on the boundary at their games.

Collingwood fell from the finals series when we poached Neeld, as I recall. So he did give me some, all too brief, joy.

A common ploy by the Dons to make it appear that there has been a proper process. Shifty as s....house rats !!!!!

I don't wish to sound uncharitable, but Craig has this slightly pathetic aura these days.

I remember him once saying he couldn't coach any club other than Adelaide, such was his love for the Camrys. Now he just seems to [censored] himself around these days as he desperately tries to remain in the industry.

KB & Fatrick still think Worsfold a certainty

It would be difficult for the club to say anything at this stage which only adds to our collective nervousness.

People forget that Macca actually stepped down from the Senior Coach position at the Dogs whereas it's widely reported he was sacked. It would be (hypothetically) interesting to know how the Dogs would've performed under him this year given the plaudits he receives from most of his past players and coaches he's worked with.

That's what's disappointing me the most. His reputation in development is exemplary and which makes him a perfect fit at a crucial time for the MFC.

But, if he wants to have a the crack at a senior coach gig you can't begrudge a bloke of that.
