I wonder if todays HS article may change the Worsfold outlook at the Bombers?

A coach who looks the other way? As jotnar said, marriage made in heaven.

especially if afl integrity inquiry drags on

It will "drag on" all the way to Melb Cup day when it will be quietly announced at 7PM that the enquiry has concluded. But don't hang by the nads waiting for the "findings" to be announced (some time in 2036).

of course afl will stage manage it

Does it even need saying.

we don't know who has been selected but we want to state that there was nothing illegal about the appointment

Sounds like the EFC

Neeld took over a club that had virtually no AFL standard players, a hapless board that offered no support and whom all resigned one way or the other, a poor administration and senior football department officials, and an ever dwindling support base.

Yet another masterful sweeping statement that adds nothing to the sum of human knowledge (and may, in fact detract from it.) Congratulations.

Just reported on AFL that Dons have appointed....


Woosha!


Yay!

A bit late, but 2 days ago I was told by someone who has regular contact with McCartney that he told them a week ago that he'd signed on for another year with MFC, and that Worsfold has the Essendon gig.

3rd hand, but I believe it.

It's not in Essendon's DNA to get someone low key like Macca. Last time they tried that it went badly pear shaped (though history is looking a LOT kinder to Matty Knights than was suggested at the time).

That is great news for us...I guess that means he will be with us till end of 2017? Or is that till end 2018?

If he signed more than a week ago it shows McCartney was awake to EFC's faux selection process!

I'm glad Macca isn't going there. He is too good for them.

They wouldn't hesitate to take him in then spit him out if it suits.

They have form: Sheedy, Knights, Bomber and (thankfully) Hird.

Talking of coach selection processes. How well have Adelaide handled it!

Both the selection of the late Phil Walsh and the apparent appointment of Pyke were clear targetting of a candidate.

They got their men.

No faux, media spin process for them.

Great respect for Adelaide this year.

I believe the AFL convention is that he can leave his contract at any time for a higher level position - i.e. head coach at another club.

Been reported that Brendan has been informed that he is out of the running for the Bombers job. Woosha to be announced.

From a selfish point of view, I am thrilled about this.

Was never really in doubt as soon as they announced Scott Burns as a final candidate. Poor bloke's the Leo Dicaprio of coaching gigs.

Didn't get great coverage over here. Everyone thought Ricciuto dropped the ball missing out on Goodwin.

lol

I would make a joke about the Bombers going down in flames, but I am above that...

And that would require them leaving the carrier:

Just how much did The Chemist know what was going on in 2006 & did he dismiss it all until after they had won a tainted flag?

Worsfold to now be head Coach of Essendrug is a dream for those of us waiting for the TV Series!!

What's this now S07E01 :)

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
