Sam Mitchell?

Nope. Wildly unpopular everywhere he goes. Plus I doubt he wants to be involved at Essendon, hates us with a passion from what I understand.

Sam Mitchell?

No way, not after that last bloke we got from west coast

And Hawthorne.

And Hawthorne.

Oh, Mitchelle... that prick

 

[DERO]

I am taking the Warren Buffett approach on this one.

Mitchell would like money, we could offer to pay him.

I am taking the "I don't give a *, Sam Mitchell is a ******* that I don't respect" approach.

That is why he'd be perfect.

Do we have to look outside the box like the Saints did with Billy Slater ?
We have Dan Richardson and Ben Rutten who know the Richmond system which is based on making it fun but also play your role but do we need to look at a leadership coach who has done some work under a system like the Storm where it is very much hold no prisoners and you do everything in your power to get the "team " over the line.
I just think we are too nice which is really at odds with the way Worsfold and Harvey played.

My concern with this is that any person with the attitude the club needs will be forced to bite their tongue in order to not ruffle too many feathers because that's just not how things are done at Essendon. The players weren't even able to handle a tweet from Xavier Campbell.

Do everything in your power to get team over the line??? Eeeek hello Dank, hello Warner and Australian cricket team??? Hello storm and salary cap saga?

What we need is a vision. And everyone’s position opened to interview to be employed if they fit that vision Similar to 76ers ‘trust the process’ not ‘whatever it takes’.

Hello Luke Hodge , Joel Sellwood , Alister Clarkson, Damian Hardwicke, our 2000 premiership side.
The players and coach had nothing to do with the Storm running two books and cooking the accounts. They have proven since that they have the right program in place to be at the top end year in and year out. To bring players other clubs had given away into their system and turn them around.
Doing everything it takes is a figure of speech. Everyone plays their role and sacrifices for the team. I am insulted that you think I would consider cheating as an option.
As for the 76ers. Have the won a championship yet with a trust the system approach ? I the process is only 5 or so years old but the have not been super strong in the play offs so far and have not looked close to getting to the last dance.

 

[yaco55]

Well if it's likely we have a new coach in 2020, then it's redundant to discuss assisant coaches as the head cach will bring in their own team.

76ers won a finals series this year and just lost Toronto courtesy of a miracle of god... that’s 15 years ahead of Essendon?

Luke hodge and Clarko were subsidiaries of Kennets vision of professionalism. Kennet made clarko better who made hodge great.

Hardwick needed Ben Gayle, wasn’t too long ago tigers were playing home games at cairns and were questioning Hardwick. Hardwick had no game plan B, had Riewoldt questioning his game plan of slow and defensive. Ben Gayle sacked his assistants got Leppitsch back, got Rutten and the biggish fish in Neil Balme. Tigers changed game plan to getting ball forward and working for each other to make others better.

Selwood is different and was a first year kid who stood up before cats became good. He’s more in line with your discussion but still it was Brian Cook that set the vision for Cats to thrive under the leading teams vision to sit down with one another to tell home truths about how everyone could get better to help the team get better.

Talk about totally missing the point.
Are you saying the CEO of each club got the players on board with playing their role

It does not matter how they got there the point is their systems are about playing your role for the team and having a hard edge about their footy. It is what we do not have.

As for the 76ers. Yes they won a finals series but they have not won a championship . Until they do you can not put them in the same boat as Geelong , Hawthorn or Melbourne Storm.

If you think we do not need a harder edge and a more ruthless approach to team footy which was what my original comment was about then you are simply wrong.!

So I say again maybe we need a leadership coach who knows about taking the next step and has worked in a system that is prepared to do what it takes within the rules.
If we just stick to the process we will meander along for another 15 years.

Inside the play with Rob Harding, showcasing the workrate of the half-forward line. Almost by accident, it is also an explainer for the roles of Baguley, Walla and Daniher (and presumably the other forwards) when they're not converting goals.

what he failed to mention was Bags was trailing his man both ways - he wasn't making an option, he was following his man, and losing that battle

He picked up Walla’s opponent after Walla picked up Heppell’s. Heppell left his opponent behind in the midfield and shot up the ground to get to that contest and then spread into the left-side flank along with someone else, neither of whom were used.

Not sure if that’s what he was supposed to be doing though.

Corrigan and Harding moving on after this season.. interesting

Two Bombers assistant coaches set to depart at season's end

Essendon will have a new-look coaching team next year, with two assistant coaches to depart at season's end

When I read the title, I was saying to myself please be the Corrigans (but truthfully I have no clue about what they do).

Let's hope this is as good as a mid-season Neald sacking.

Paul is the forwards coach
Mark is in charge of the first to third year players.

I'm hoping they're not the last.

Yep, I think Harvey and Skipworth have also had their time.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Good

Would love Bartel as mids coach

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Great timing, just as our season is on the line tomorrow.

 

[yodellinhank]

With an all new coaching panel next season will definitely be one of adjustment. Woosha will have to be given more time to assemble the right team.
