I think new coaches getting baked under the unreasonable expectations of long deprived club and supporters (via the media) highlights the wisdom of our path getting Roos in to settle the ship and start the rebuild before handing across to Goodwin as performances were improving.

Not to do so exposes young coaches to too much pressure.

Mind you, not unhappy to see the Dons in the firing line.

Isn't that what they did at Essendon, putting Woosha in and then doing a succession plan with Truck? I just think they (or the media) overhyped themselves this year. They are a fair bit back from finals with some work to do. It is not all doom and gloom, they have some great building blocks, they just have a some work to do. Unfortunately when the media starts pumping this sort of thing up everyone stats leading with their mouths and the club can implode before the plan has a chance to bare fruit.

Honestly, i could care less whether Essendon succeed or fail this time around, i have no love for the bombers, but I do hate media hype led decision making.
