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: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
