Yze was the hot favourite for GWS then pipped at the post by Kingsley.

Ess are waiting for Caracella to get back from overseas and for the GF to be over when Brad Scott will make his intentions known and it looks likely he will put his hat in the ring.

Yze is not over the line yet!

Anyone interested in going into the barge pole industry with me? Fortune to be made at the moment.

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

 

Oh that is the best spin I have seen this week. Simple fact no senior coach would touch them.

No money to be made as no one is using one QD.

Bunch of assistant Coaches is not the same as Senior Experience 

They just burnt one….

Not sure where I said it was the same thing mate. Just said I thought they clarified that.

There's not exactly a ton of senior coaches to choose from who are still any good.

Old mate Ross "Not a vibe" Lyon decided he's too good to interview for jobs, Buckley's been shown up this year, Malthouse should be in a home, WIlliams is miles off from that kind of job and Brad Scott will probably put his hand up too late.

More disturbing than that picture is dude’s tenuous grasp on grammar. He’s 2 for 2 with misspelling names. He’s got the whole their/they’re/there thing up the [censored]. He’s left a word out (‘is’) and he’s used a comma instead of a period as well as another comma that shouldn’t be there.

LOL, I was just thinking exactly that! I reread what I’d posted and thought geez I sound so bit*chy. Well, bit*chIER. 😜

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.

So why would any club choice outside that perimeter? It is spin of the highest order. They wanted an experienced senior coach now with no experienced senior coach wanting it they have changed.

What senior coaches should they have chased? Lyon refused the process, which says a lot about him, Buckley is an iffy prospect at best given the last few years, Leon Cameron is no good. They literally never said "senior coach".

I hate Essendon and it's GF day, so I'm gonna tap out anyway, have a ripper day OD.

Thank God I think he doesn't need to be there. It is going to take a few years to fix Essendrug. The factions will throw whoever gets that job to the wolves after a short time frame if things don't improve immediately just like they did this year. 2021 they had a good season with their first year coach. Year 2 they slipped back bang coach gone.

All those coaches have made Grand Finals. And none of them wanted to really talk to Essendon, let alone coach them. Then the spin came.

All those coaches were sacked as well.

If Yze was to leave, would Nathan Jones be a good replacement as midfield coach?

no

Exactly. Nobody wants the job. They know how it will end

So unfortunately another Rookie Coach will be thrown into the Fire

Hopefully this happens again.

Somebody is bound to be considering coaching the Peptides, Norf, running the AFL and flying to Thailand and bail Jordy. Barge poles could be just what gets them over the line. Recon they could be the next big thing OD. You in?

Happens to most.

 

As in Naughton to Melbourne, Andy? 😂

Very few don't only a very select few go in their own time. The great KS was told  his contract would not be renewed. Clarkson was cut one year short of his contract. Malthouse was pushed out twice. So are you saying that if someone is sacked they are no good?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
