Spare me with the inherited list nonsense. He inherited an almighty rabble that had some nice pieces.
I think if you asked supporters of Port or Brisbane who's previous 8 years they'd take they'd say ours.
He can coach, he may be at the end of his journey at the Dogs, but there's a...
Nobody wins a flag, has a mini-refresh and then makes a grand final 5 years later without being a bloody decent coach.
Anyone that genuinely thinks he can't coach is an air head.
I'm surprised Essendon are offering such a long contract though, assuming it's true. I can't imagine there's a lot of clubs offering anything remotely similar. I like him as a player but not that much.
Given he's an RFA he'd already be in your top echelon of paid players, I can't imagine he's getting a pay cut.
I'd assume the contract would be worth around $4.2M ($700k per year).
I think Lobb is out of contract at the end of 2025, but I can't find anything that's concrete on it.
Every chance he ends up at either your mob or St Kilda in 2025.
I am probably leaning towards having a fresh start, but to play devils advocate - the game against the Cats was quite good. I think the Essendon game was the first bad game we've had this year. Even the first round game whilst disappointing, was off one of the most pressured weeks any club has...
I don't need you to tell me that, I have acknowledged that. I am talking to somebody who is making comparisons that aren't appropriate. If you want to contribute to the conversation, you could at least read it first.
Which is also not similar.
Hartlett was taken off for 5 minutes, was let back on after passing a concussion test, the league rules at the time were 15 minutes.
Liberatore collapsed with 2 minutes to go in the game after no obvious head knock, had the concussion test post game and passed it...
Exactly how I felt when I saw it. It was either exhaustion or something internal, he has been put in concussion protocols out of an abundance of caution for sure.
He absolutely should've been pulled from the ground and I'm not for a second accepting that it was handled how it should've been.
He has passed every concussion test he's had.
The club has put him in concussion protocols as an abundance of caution given the vision, but this isn't Lachie Jones having a migraine after a head knock and being let back on the field after half time. It's not exactly what happened to or at Port...
I'm not mad that CD is out, but can someone explain to me what the difference between CD and Gryan Miers is? Like hypothetically what would rule out CD from playing the Miers role? I don't recall Miers being particularly quick.
