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.

    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.

    That was earlier today. Essendon have since denied it.

    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:

    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 :)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
