Could not care who it was, just as long as it wasn’t you know who.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I really can't believe he gave up GM of the AFL though. Probably the most surprising part of this appointment.

Must have found it boring being a pencil pusher for the AFL

He's a competive beast just like Chris I think he's going to do well with us

 

[projectv]

Leaving Hird to go to North, what a perfect ending.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

For sure, if Scott is announced.
Rutten was not a head coach.
Brad Scott can coach.

Was Rutten given enough Years/opportunity to prove he could coach at AFL level ?

Deserved at least one more year at least imo

Gilligan restructured the structure titles, so he was not GM of the level of Hocking, Lethlean and those in the past was and now the GM role is a level below an "Executive GM" role. Perhaps it points to the fact that Dillon has missed out on the CEO role?

What's the record for career seasons coached without a granny? He'll be commencing an 11th season at a second club. Wallace got 11 starts, Rats & Ken also entering their 11th. Surely someone out there has a 15+? Would Eade still make 17 if Plugger missed that point?

 

[Hazardinho]

This is just too funny.

I heard on the radio this evening they were saying "Scott will lift standards and get the place back in shape". I laughed when I heard it. He got the boot from us because standards had slipped, training dropped, our skills were poor, we weren't fit, he had his favourites that he would always select week after week and didn't give the kids a go, the list goes on.

All I can say is, they are welcome to him. This will end in tears. Good times!

Why are you pretending like things got so much better once he left your joint, you’ve had two coaches go (soon to be 3) and appealed for a draft assistance package, which Scott himself decided your outcome funnily enough. Scott also had his hands tied with resources, with your recruiting team underperforming. At least you guys where competitive, when Scott got sacked, I’m sure he left you guys on a higher ladder position than what you guys have been the last three years.

This is the least bit surprising.

Being a senior coach of an AFL club is a much better & rewarding job than an administrative role in the AFL.

The thrills, highs & lows are only matched by being a professional athlete.

Good job now I can continue hating Essendon as would have had a soft spot for them if Yze got job

 

[DeanoT]

Hopefully Scott made it a condition of signing on that Sheedy would be removed.

Good get by Essendon to get the reigning premiership coach.

 

[beema limapep]

Yes.

How many years til he is sacked? 2? 1.5?

His match day coaching was average as **** didnt move the magnets to change momentum during a game also became the easiest team to score against under his coaching

I think he was too young and not experienced enough for the top job yet needs to do a couple more years as an assistant imo

 

[Stamos]

Hird faction to white ant Scott, starting April 2023.

Huh?
What are they doing for the next 7 months?

 

[Bluish]

Jeepers, sounds like Essendon can expect big changes next year.

 

[Breretonisahood]

Damn! He’s just what they need. I was hoping Essington would self-immolate by choosing Hird.

 

[Shane Heard]

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

Superpower famous foundation clubs are very attractive to a man with ambitious tendencies to coach a team to premiership victory

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Condolences to the hirdites news of Brad getting the job wont please them haha

 

[The 747]

Huh?
What are they doing for the next 7 months?

Regrouping, plotting, scheming. Writing angry boomer letters.

 

[FrustratedTiger]

Anyone running a book on when they'll call for him to be sacked? I'll take after the first intraclub game

 

[Shane Heard]

They could have done worse but I wouldn't be all that excited about that appointment if I was an Essendon supporter, he's a Kmart Chris Scott.

A truly ridiculous statement

Hopefully we can send you Dodo after the trade period
