Brad Scott - New Essendon Coach

[Gavin Excell]

Yze starting to be a modern version of Chocko Royal and Peter Sumich

Hird faction to white ant Scott, starting April 2023.

The Hird faction are almost wiped out.
Once the Dudoro and Sheedy are moved on it’s plain sailing

Amazing he would leave a cushy plumb role at the AFL going SFA to jump into a cluster like Essendon

Just on Dodoro can we assume he has yet again survived the latest blood-letting?

Disappointing. When the other options were Hird, Lade, Yze, it is the best option for Essendon by a mile.

lol thats a bit harsh comparing him to Sumich.

But your right, you can only go for 2-3 head coach jobs before people start thinking "whats wrong with this bloke"

Interesting based on the current situation that Fagan went for a number of jobs before landing at Brisbane.

So the roof gets reopened at Marvel now?

Not sure If Caracella applied, but if he did, he has the best resume in the AFL to be appointed as a fresh head coach, but Scott is a good choice.

Thank god they hired him now at least when we sack Hinkley this spud can’t coach us either

 

[Belnakor]

Not saying it won’t work out for Essendon, he might well be what they need now, who knows, might even win a final. But he’s a stubborn bastard who repeatedly showed an inability to stop opposition momentum, led questionable development of young players, and had a knack of playing his favourites to the detriment of the team.

in other words, most opposition teams are happy with his selection

isn't there a transition to Josh Carr in place in any case?

He will hopefully be gone after this years trade period.
I doubt they wanted to go into a trade period with a new coach and head of recruiting. Dudoro is well and truly in the crosshairs now

He'd probably be a decent coach, but Essendon need an old head in there that needs the steady the entire ship...the ENTIRE ship. Would be a Rutten situation all over again if they gave the position to an inexperienced head coach.

Sounds like 2015 all over again.

To quote the late great Kenny Everett: "well that's not funny at all!"

Nah Ken should be coach for a while yet.

Old kev lost the battle for hird.
Maybe he will no longer be able to shield Dodoro ?
In any case, if i were Scott, I’d sleep easier with Sheedy removed from the board …

Scott did well with a pretty mediocre North list with few star players.

Agreed imagine getting a team with Harvey, Wells, Cunnington, Swallow, Dal Santo, Waite, Higgins, Ziebell, Thompson, Tarrant, Petrie, Brown, Thomas to an elimination final.

 

[DERO]

Still getting over missing out on Clarko but he’ll do.

Agree, the list had a lot of talent and we did play some exciting footy in patches. Tactically he could never go with the best of them, almost a decade coaching and we had the same kick in routine the whole way through lol.

So Essendon went against their own "process"?

Stinks of higher ups hand picking who they want again.

Reckon seeing Chris winning the flag would have inspired him

I'm pretty happy

 

[TerryWallet]

Personally, i think Scott is the best available chance of pulling Essendons own head from it's own ar*e. So on that basis, i'm a bit disappointed he took the job lol.

But in saying that, i still think the odds of current EFC kicking itself in the nuts again are high.

Scott is a good but not great coach, but he brings a gravitas that "might" have a chance at EFC.

The great thing is that the truly unworthy James Hird, got the deserved short shrift. Good riddance.

Mitch Cleary and Tom Browne both reported that the club has been in conversation with Brad for weeks today was his final interview.

The club made him go through the process and both he and the club kept it under wraps

Kudos to Brad and Essendon for not leaking anything

 

[MotlopMagic]

Good appointment imo.
