Hopefully Adem isn’t to shattered, hopefully swings back into his real job with Goody and team at the Dee’s and starts working on the modified mid field plan to get our next Granny.!!!

 

i wonder if there was any afl influencing in the sudden appearance of bs's availability and his speedy appointment?

Adem skipped a bullet.

Who could have confidence in a football club board that can decide to investigate a potential coach's availability on Monday and have him appointed by Thursday? After putting other candidates through the mill. Unseemly and rude.

Do I smell a Gil interference here?

 

Sheedy has already come out & said he voted for Hird. He's already having a crack at the new pres.

Adem you are better off not there

I'm taking out futures on pop-corn.


I wish they'd appointed Hird

Yze should now take on a coaching challenge tougher than coaching Essendon: We should make him our forwards coach!

Unlucky for Yze.  I reckon once they push Sheedy out they will be a far more united club and the AFL will do everything they can to get them competitive again.  It's good business if the big clubs are in the finals - if Essendon gets it right then the "big 4" Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond will be a good chance of making finals next year.  The commission will be rubbing their hands together as will the broadcasters!

I also think Scott will work for them - he had an ageing list at the Roos and didn't have the facilities or high draft picks that the bombers will have.  2 Preliminary finals wasn't a bad effort for what he had IMO.

They may not be so overjoyed for too long.

David King has highlighted that in the 10 years Scott was at North they did not finish in the top 4 in the H&S season.  They made the finals twice and reached the PF but lost both.

They got the most experienced coach available but doubt anyone can say he has a successful track record.

Wow, I'd forgotten they only made finals twice. Terrible record.

B is for Brad is for Bombers

C is for Chris is for Cats

 

for those like me who can't remember 🤣


I used to rely on chronology and alphabetical order - Brad was appointed before Chris.

Now it will be reverse chronology. Messes with my mind.

Nar not in a Month of Sundays, Nar Nar, Oh wait a minute!

ANYWAY THE SECRET OF THE OOOOZE is still with us and hopefully can now turn his attention to providing us with a "Stellar" Mid field plan that nets us another flag in 2023!

Dees succession Plan perhaps???

bonus prize for the first poster to find a bummers fan who actually approves of their new coach

Any I know have all gone Waco-Branch Davidian and are not responding to messages from the outside world.


Wonder if Yze will now move on to another club, perhaps with a bit more responsibility/higher profile? Once you start the "I'm thinking of leaving" ball rolling, can be hard to put the genie back in its bottle.

He is already our most senior coach and runs the box on game days. Not sure how much more senior he can be elsewhere without being a senior coach. I’m sure he will stay around until he gets the senior job somewhere else.

And then there's this guy... (Can't stay on the board now surely?)

 

Sheedy is a loose unit. The Board doesn't vote for which coach it wants but rather votes to endorse the recommendation provided by the expert panel it appointed to identify the most suitable candidate.  Sheedy didn't vote for Hird, regardless of whether he voted with or against the rest of the Board.

Trac was thrilled Essendon didn’t pick Yze. Sounds like he’s staying put for now.

the whinging, whining scott of the puddy tatts variety

He really should give being the forwards coach a try.

He was a great forward himself.

I always thought the C in Chris was for something else.

  • 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?
