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!

Dang!

 

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.


Wosha is now officially Essendon coach

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:

wow..just wow...Didn't see that coming !!!

I Whoosh I had never Hird that....but I did.

Terrible

 

Terrible

I know..so little good humour these days.

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 :)

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
