On Footy Classified, Wilson said that if Yze gets the job, he'll try to take Mark Williams with him...

Adem - you leave to take this role with our blessing. Don't steal our resources on the way out!

I spoke to Chocko air training a month ages and,among other things , he told me that he lived in Hampton.If he went to Essendon he would be doing a lot of cross town driving . Very time consuming.

umm


Hope Hird gets the Essendrug gig.  Good for two reasons, first being it makes it easier to love to hate them that much more and…we get to keep Yze

there's quite a few peptide supporters who say there is a "hawthorn" cloud hanging over adem's head and he should be ruled out (at this time) for the coaching position as a precautionary measure

This is what I would have thought but no-one is saying anything in the media about it. I honestly thought it would put a hold on futures like Adem's but it doesn't seem that way for the moment.

yes, it's a tough one for the club and the media because it just opens up another huge can of worms, so i can understand why nothing is being said publicly by club or media.

if adem doesn't get the job we'll probably never know if this was a factor


I thought Essendon were looking for an experienced coach?

None of them would touch them with a barge pole.

They were until they realised there was no-one and had to backpedal. I don't remember them coming out and saying anything but they've managed to sneak their changed plans under the radar nicely.

Josh Mahoney clarified that as meaning someone with plenty of coaching experience, not necessarily as a senior coach.

Nobody wants the job, is the bottom line. I hope Adem will survive the next few years

Certainly seems Yze, Hird, Solomon, Lade and possibly Caracella and Brad Scott do, so not sure I agree with the first part.

Definitely agree it's a high risk job though.

Tom Browne obviously hasn’t read DL or he would be running with the Sheedy / Hird conspiracy theory first raised here (and I think later deleted by the mods), instead of his Yse story.

Essendrug will burn another Rookie because nobody wants the job.

You do see that as a ridiculous clarification though don’t you?

We want to pick a coach that has plenty of coaching experience… (looks around room and sees only weird looks from former senior coaches) …doesn’t have to be as a senior coach!!! Can be as an assistant!!!

Ruling out?? Jake Melksham? Luke Hodge? Like I don’t care but they wanted Lyon and Clarkson to be falling over themselves to come to them they are so deluded.

Not really tbh, thought it made perfect sense. They want a coach who has at least come up through the ranks, done the courses, done the training, been an understudy etc. Especially makes sense within the context of when they brought in Hird the first time and how that went for them.

But I bet you they'd welcome back Hird with open arms 🤣

yes, a sizable number would and many of those would see it as some form of redemption and sainthood

 

I reckon Solomon could be what they need. Hard nosed and knows the club well, could be the guy.

Bunch of assistant Coaches is not the same as Senior Experience

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
