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 :)

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
