That was a mark?

Gets him in. Gets him settled. He does the full preseason. That all has value

Just got my membership renewal. Duggan is front and centre in the photo in the email so unless it is late breaking news it would seem the club is not expecting him to leave

Can someone please enlighten me. I see the comments on the McKay bid and the chance North matches. If North matches do the rules (using that term loosely with the AFL) allow Essendon a second bid or is that the end of it and McKay is forced back to North? Additionally does the AFL disclose to...

Sure. Send over 2, 3 and 10 and we will start to talk about swapping 1 for all 3.

Don’t be a draftee called Lachie if you’re setting your sights on Freo.

Anyway, speculate and debate away. The fact is the board didn't terminate his contract early, so Simmo remains the coach. Nothing on here will change that, and it is hardly a surprise he has various levels of relationships with some of the board members, none of which would have been a secret to...

Correct. Any individual member who spoke out at that time should properly have resigned. The board should speak as one, not as individuals.

Well that should peeve Mitch and his mates at the West. Let’s now hope Simmo has a fit and healthy squad to prove his worth.

Biggest positive. We’ve unearthed some good young talent. They now have enough games in them to get what the level is, and not just the thrill of playing at AFL level. And several are yet to have the benefit of a proper pre-season.

“Apparently “

We Well you don’t support this one if you prefer losses

If you t If you truly believe that, please find a new club to support

So we want to send two of our greatest out on a pre-ordained loss? No thanks.

I suspect we were not drafting Dusty at that time with his then perceived risk factors. Well played Richmond.

Two bob Mitch? All bases now covered for next week’s blockbuster headline

It’s a lottery. We swapped pick 2 for 2 rippers. Time will tell for the next draft. What will be will be. I do prefer teaching our kids to win.

Let’s not call an untried junior the lynchpin. He may be great and he may not prove to be quite so great. It isn’t like picks 2 onwards are all missing a leg. We will still get a good one. History tells us too 5 picks are generally very good.

The dignified exit path has been laid out for Nisbett. Simpson gets 2024. New assistants come in. Avoids a revolt and reduces the payout if 2024 doesn’t suggest improvement.

There is a lot of pressure going on the board from money men, players and supporters

Several different media heads have said that we would have already made our decision on Simmo and expect something will be put out there by Monday to announce their decision. It might depend on the role he took. Non-competes are notoriously difficult legal beasts.

Yes, tongue was in cheek.

M Media guy got sacked as a sacrificial lamb?

And possibly the penalty that certain Teflon coaches don’t get for saying the same things

North could have picks 1 to 10 and they will somehow manage to remain a basket case.

Alternatively they didn’t want to draw all questions away from the retirees and onto his future. Who knows?

Shock. “Football Coach Seeks to Win Match”! Stop the presses

He was. Not sure there are heaps based on some of the busts but I agree that there are potentially some who are prepared to relocate (another challenge for both local clubs)

It would be the icing on the cake if they sack him and then realise there is no one of quality who wants the job.

That’s a fair point but the counter is that the Beagles are such a rabble. The WAFL side issue also needs to be fixed. Otherwise it doesn’t provide a pathway.
