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???

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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
