Coaching Staff Matthew Egan seeks fresh start

[yodellinhank]

His capital is rising, I suspect quicker than we realise...

I suspect we'd realise. But you don't want to go into a bidding war over a coach for the VFL I wouldn't have thought. Ultimately be good for Egan's development (maybe could've spent another year at Essendon) to get more experience if he intends on going for a top job down the track.

I meant we as in the lay fan. I reckon the club rate him very highly.

But you're right.

 

[Andronicus]

Wonder what he has been offered.

Wouldn't think he'd be leaving without something lined up.

 

[eth-dog]

Was it a step back in his coaching career going from assistant coach to VFL coach? (Curious to know where they rank)

No.

One wouldve thought interim afl coach would want to be afl coach.. not go to vfl.

Being a head coach at state level is a promotion from being an assistant at AFL level.

No.

I didnt realise they were ranked that way.

Dustin Fletcher is allowed back at the club next week. coincidence? I think not.

Been rumoured a while back that Fletcher will be the back line coach in 2017.

So was there no role for Egan in the mainstream AFL coaching set up ?

He's been there and done that. I imagine he would only have left if there was an onwards and upwards role somewhere else... and sometimes elsewhere in a similar role is better anyway just for variety and breadth of experiences. We're obviously not offering him the senior coaching role for 2017... not sure what else we could offer an aspiring coach in his position that would further his career?

My understanding is that there was no role for Egan in Worsfold's inner circle - These things happen and life moves on.

Love him - but he should coach somewhere else for a few years.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

This explains the departure then.

Good on him.

I reckon he'll be a senior coach one day.

Good on Melbourne, their supporters should be really happy with that appointment.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Not only they stole Hibberd from us but also Matthew Eagan.

Good luck to Matty but I wish clubs would stop raiding our football club.

 

[Loonerty]

Ease up mate, we've hardly been raided at all. It could have been so much worse.

 

[Doss]

Coaches move, especially when it's upwards.

Chill out.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Ease up mate, we've hardly been raided at all. It could have been so much worse.

It could of have been I really liked Egan. Hoping the club replaces him with another quality person.

 

[duckdog]

Good to see some "industries" are increasing middle management rather than slashing it

 

[Lord Nicholson]

McCartney, Egan, Goodwin, Melksham

The great minds reunite.

 

[Vindicater]

Man, THe Melbourne Bombers are going to be pretty decent next year.

How did they steal him? Presumably he left because he got a promotion and wanted a change.
