Honestly Essendon will just chew him up and spit him out if he doesn't win them a flag within 2 years. Only Hird, the golden drug pusher, could destroy their club for a decade and still be welcomed back with a hug. So let them have each other.

I wonder if Essendon will try to poach Hinkley, which would then open the door for Yze to go to Port. A far better option.

I hope like hell Yze gets a good senior gig because he deserves it, and we should support our own to succeed!

Yze might have one more chance this year, as I think Bombers will go for Hinkley, who would get a release from Port, for his final contact year.

Geez I'd love it if they even simply brought Hird in for an interview. It's real bottom of the barrel stuff that no hoper clubs do.

Hinkers would be a good fit for them. Experienced and knows what it's like to come into a club with instability.

I forgot to add that I thought Yze would get GWS gig and that would leave Kingsley for Port, but the Giants gazumped them.

I'd be hoping he takes a look at Essendon and realises it's a tire fire off field and that there's likely going to be better opportunities in store for him with friendlier boards next time round. 

On the flip side I hope this knocks off the first 2 or 3 candidates and they end up with someone who never thought they were going to get a shot at senior coaching.

Surely all the nonsense out of the board has to scare away a few serious candidates. 

 If I was on my way to head coaching role I would be very scared of being a 1.5 yr coach and never get the spot again...

On the Couch talking about how Essendon will have to reassure any coach who will enter into their process, as the assumption is that Hird will get the job since half the board want him.

They are unbelievable. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

It’s getting to the point of Jonestown and spiked Kool-Aid. 

The bloke got 1 finals series in 4 full series as coach (and one season where they got thrown out). He finished his career one win shy of having a fifty percent strike rate. We aren’t talking about a John Kennedy, Norm Smith or Alastair Clarkson type figure here.

That's exactly right. The endgame isn't just landing a senior coaching gig, it's about being comfortable in the knowledge that you'll be given the time you need to start getting the results. More often than not once you have your shot in the hot seat that's it. 

On the money Xecutioner, very much the xcellence of xectution!

Yze 's first real crack at a senior gig. He will get more chances . Kingsley had touted for a long time so good on him. On a side note how jacked is he , definately a better role model for GWS players in the fitness stakes than stuie dew

Why would we get rid of a coach that has just won four Premierships in a row?

If Hird got the gig, how would you feel as a parent if your child was drafted to the Dons.

Slightly better than if they bought Bomber Thompson back.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
