Wow what an inspired choice!

Their thorough and exhaustive selection process to get "not the best available coach, but the best coach" has delivered them Hardwick.

A 3 year assistant under Clarkson as an apprenticeship and thats it?

Not sure if I was a Bombers fan I would be too happy with that.

Time will tell though!

With Hardwick as coach the dons will now be known as the Essendon Snipers, if they adapt his style of play. We will see plenty of Essendon at the Tribunal next year especially Dustin Fletcher. I never liked Hardwicks ego when he entered the football ground. Essendon will run out onto the ground with the theme song "Macho Macho Man". I can't wait to see him dummy spit and i don't think he will have much respect from the playing group if he coaches the way he played.

Damien Hardwick - announced just then!

You need a hearing aid. HARDWICK WAS ANNOUNCED AS THE FRONT RUNNER - NOT COACH!!!

There is a betting market for which team "MARK THOMPSON" will coach in 08 on "sportingbet" and "essendon" are a$1.70 with geelong at$2.05.. and him not coaching, or any other team at $51.00...

do you think they are that stupid to offer $2.05 for geelong if "hardwick" is coach of ess.!!!!!!!!

some people should take a gripp.and confirm with their parents before posting !! "crikey"

The Bombers' Board has shown itself to be totally inept in its digusting treatment of Kevin Sheedy by announcing the end of his contract so far out from the end of the season. They treated a club icon like [censored] and for what? Two months later they still haven't finalised their coaching selection and the decision has almost certainly cost them a chance to get you know who. Yesterday they allowed the news on the non appointment of Neale Daniher to be leaked before he was even told about it.

The draft camp is happening in less than a week's time and the trade period the week after. What an embarassment!

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
