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.

Would appear two more clubs are opening up for Adam.

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 

They just burnt one….

  • 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.
