Who's Geelong's secret spy atm?
Bomber was mentally done and just about had a breakdown. Dont know how he managed to coach essondon to be honestNot sure if I should breath new life into this thread or not ...but as I am reading Stevie J's book at the moment.........
On the 2010 season, from Stevie J's book - "Everything had been meticulously planned between 2007 and '09, but now it felt like we were flying by the seat of our pants. Our team meetings were really lacking in detail. Rather than tell us what the plan for an upcoming match was, he (Bomber) would just look at us and say, 'What do you reckon boys?'......He seemed a bit blasé."
He says things started to head this way about a third of the way through that season.

Yeah he was done & burnt himself out as a senior coach.Bomber was mentally done and just about had a breakdown. Dont know how he managed to coach essondon to be honest
If Bomber was mentally done + burnt out as a senior coach, why did he accept the position to join Essendon? Sure it was in a guiding role, still, he knew he was returning to Essendon in June 2010.
There is more to this Bomber story than we know. It has to do with the conflict with GAJr. Didn't Bomber complain that the senior players did as they chose?
Just checking to see If I'd responded to this crap first time,nope.
The reason Bomber got talked into coaching Geelong in 2010 when he felt burnt out. The same reason Bomber got talked into being assistant coach at Essendon. The same reason Bomber was sent to meet with Milburn and let him know time's up, and Milburn walks out of that meeting with a 2 year extension. The Geelong management started to notice Bomber wasn't the greatest negotiator and people could twist him around their little finger a bit. And they were right.If Bomber was mentally done + burnt out as a senior coach, why did he accept the position to join Essendon?

I think you might of meant 2010. That year I thought Collingwood were the best side that year. I thought Stkilda were probably better too.The facts are that we had the best teams back in 08 and 11, and we lost. Yep, Bomber has a lot to answer for.
And a lot that we can thank him for.
So he's human, has frailties and idiosyncrasies like all of us.
Pretty sure the conflict between coach and star player arose with Gazza's preference for playing Hillsong worship songs during the 2010 pre-season, as opposed to Thompson's preferred Motorhead. Lemmy loved Bomber.
That was corrected while you replied- def 2010I think you might of meant 2010. That year I thought Collingwood were the best side that year. I thought Stkilda were probably better too.
We beat Pies game 1. It went downhill that year for us. That loss against Saints mid winter when we scored zilch after half time was scary.I think you might of meant 2010. That year I thought Collingwood were the best side that year. I thought Stkilda were probably better too.

Yet how did we win 11 with virtually a 2010 list minus the near GOAT?
Very Moderate of you to say so.Great to see an old thread by some arse clown making ridiculous claims about Bomber and why we lost those years. With all the criticism aimed at Chris Scott these days it's to go back to past sometimes for some really stupid s**t from an OP like this.
helping another member of the board with a request.well this is a head scratching bump to say the least.. bored Daz?
I'd say the players attitude has a lot to do with it as well as Scotts tweaks also freshened the group and a few young players were injected into the side for the year, a proud group was humiliated in the prelim, then had their coach and star walk out on them... new coach = fresh message, someone to prove themselves to... And the desire to make up for the year before.We beat Pies game 1. It went downhill that year for us. That loss against Saints mid winter when we scored zilch after half time was scary.

Why did Malcolm Blight accept the Saints coaching role? Why did Malthouse go to Carlton? Ego and big dollarsIf Bomber was mentally done + burnt out as a senior coach, why did he accept the position to join Essendon?
