mmmmm..... beer Is it too early??
It is a bit of a worry really, that a little earlier in the season there seemed to be a raft of experienced, senior coaches who would quite likely be available and now they are really a bit thin on the ground. The only reason I still think about Malthouse is because Hird last year came out and said if he were offered the Essendon job he would turn it down. Other than that I can't see who there really is left out of the original wish list. Roos and Matthews will not coach, Clarkson will surely be retained, Malthouse??? and Choco seems to be happy where he is. Next come Eade and Laidley. I really am not sure how I feel about either of them, but essentially I reckon if I'm hesitant, that is probably a sign I'd not be happy with either (not that my opinion matters one iota ). After that, as far as the "experienced" senior coach we are after, who is left??? None I can think of really. So now we are left looking at Neeld, Sanderson and another untried senior coach. Makes me worry a little, although I still reckon we are a smoky to get MM, no matter how fanciful that opinion may be.
