Footy classified brought up some interesting stuff on the coaches. Hutchie who is good friends with Thompson said that Thompson would prefer the GC job over Essendon but if he is offered the dons job first he will take it. Hutchie was saying GC should just offer him the job right now and they will get their man. You would think then that Bass would be a shoe in for the dons job. We might not have the time our club thinks we do.
In his speech last night he made it infinitely clear he wants to stay at Essendon but only as the senior coach and said he had had no contact with GCS whatsoever. He basically said sack Hird and I'll stay and build this club.
