Hird gone - Egan interim coach, Little gone after WADA appeal. TROLLS WILL BE CARDED

[Matty411]

Surprised this was done before end of season - not sure what your club gains in the mean time. Tbh, I think it's 2 years overdue. Like you, we're in a similar position atm and as supporters, we just need to stick true to our colours and back them in to turn it around.

Good and bad times. True supporters will stay - pretenders and bandwagoners will naturally surface. Everyone has a choice.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Given there are two other clubs looking for senior coaches, maybe the Board felt they had to act now rather than wait?

 

[eth-dog]

He didnt say Neeld.

You mean the one bloke who's done his job this year?

He has as strong a resume as most prospective first year coaches. A gun at Norwood

Has been horrible at Essendon. Would be the first assistant to go from Essendon if it were up to me.

 

[DapperDon]

Not the first time Hes been media sacked. Maybe wait for the presser?

Would be pretty funny if we announce a new contract extension.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Maybe this time we can get a guy who's at least coached U-14s...

I once played in an U/14s game, will that do? Granted it was cricket but these things are reasonably interchangeable.

 

[pantskyle]

the AFL got their man, what a surprise

Fair call Lance, but surely the results were worrying?

 

[DonsRule]

Well that is that than.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Look, if there's any AFL club that'll consider you seriously, it's the EFC.

 

[Pweter]

I hope the only driver behind this would be if the players advised Hird has lost them. They are the ones that will represent the club, they should have the biggest say.

If the players wanted Hird to stay and the club has done this, I'll be pretty ****ing pissed.

Hi to all the lurkers, nice and smug now are we?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Don't think it matters, we'll be getting the scraps. What right minded individual would choose to come to us with the saga still in the air.

 

[DonsRule]

Fair call Lance, but surely the results were worrying?

They were. But at the same time, even the likes of Ange Postecoglou on the weekend said you can't judge Hird's coaching with so much hanging around.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Happy to side with you as you'd know more about him than me.
Maybe they have some candidates in their sights.

 

[ManWithNoName]

The joint would be burnt down if they did.

 

[Howard Moon]

All.those throwing their toys out of the cot....I have one simple question.

Did you want to win football games, or win the war on everyone?

I want to win football games. That's what it's all.about, nothing else.

And yes they are mutually exclusive.

Carlisle out to fine leg? Or silly mid off?

 

[freddy mercury]

If I was Essendon I would not advertise/take applications until the WADA thing is over. We will not attract any coaches now until our fate is known later in the year. We do not need to rush and find a coach right now. It is pointless.

If we get found not guilty and everything is swell, I would go after Worsfold with the world. Throw him a cheque book and say write your own cheque.

 

[Runk]

Spot on. He's the bloke who's been in charge of our forward line ffs. Could never be considered.

So we shouldn't get a coach until next year?

If the issue is mental fatigue - then changing coach may not change that.

 

[Jesse Custer]

12th man

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I actually don't see how we go for a rookie coach. Any rookie coach. It's too ****ed a situation to expect anybody inexperienced to step into.

I think we probably need a Roos/Goodwin type arrangement for a couple of years.

I can tell you right now: a rookie coach will fail. Definitely.

****ed if I know who'll do it.

Worsfold would be my first pick.

 

[eth-dog]

Mate, he's clearly going to be the opening bowler.

I'm not sure this has been a 'rushed' thing. I'm a big Worsfold fan but long time out of the game imo.
Is he strong enough to handle the crap going on, yes he is. Will he put up his hand, doubtful.

 

[srobbo]

So when's Little & the rest of his cronies following him out the door??

 

[DapperDon]

BF or EFC?
