I accept your point - But it is poor form to call Knights a Peanut in your first ever post.

Why not?? Who the he'll is Matthew knights? I give the guy credit for having the balls to call it as he sees it first post or not.

Not really. Peanut is hardly unjustified given what he saw. Don't see the difference between 1st post and 1 millionth. If he thinks he's a peanut then he'll call him a peanut. ok peanut?

Good post. Worth reading if it's true .

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Enough is enough get rid of him NOW!!!!!!!

Why? Must he build up respect before you will take in what this guy posts?

Like any other Essendon supporter, he has every right to call the coach whatever he feels like, and yes on this board as well. After the 3 years of absolute crap and lies, its time to face up and **** off. We as paid up members deserve the truth and deserve to be treated as people. Without us, this club will die.

 

[Beerfish]

That's pretty ****ed up.

Could he have just been too embarrassed to hang out with the supporters?

And FWIW Gary OD was brilliant when I met him earlier this year as well. Very approachable and even engaged me in conversation instead of just signing my jumper which I wasn't expecting at all.

Yes, Gary goes allright. Gary and I had a chat as well at last years family day.

I hate bagging out the coach but I really don't know how I feel about it all atm. To be at AAMI again and getting flogged is bad, to be non-competitve is just embarrassing. The truth is, Knights is always going to be under pressure unless we start producing some success. He's not a big name coach and he doesn't have the latitude of bigger name coaches because he doesn't have success behind him.

I guess it was only a fortnight ago that we nearly rolled the form side of the comp before Franklin put on a display and took it away from us.

I've never met him but I've always thought he would be.

FWIW, poor darts Knighta. Kids are the most important people to "sell" the club to with face to face contact. Nothing better than chatting with Simon Madden and Derek Kickett while they were sitting on the interchange bench when I played little league at Waverley (Madden's and Daniher's last game).

Read between the lines of what the OP is saying.

I asked him ( in this thread ) How did he know that Knights was chatting to corporate supporters ?

OP's response - The guys are from KPMG that i worked with 2 years ago. Which suggests that the OP ( nothing wrong with this ) works in the corporate field.

Possibly he is disaffected because Knights wouldn't give him time.

Anyway at least its created discussion, and helped us identify the hotheads on this board.

Lol at the fact you think theirs some sort of hierarchy on a message board the one has to build up a bunch of credible posts before he can call someone a peanut. Hey look everyone can use pointless emoticons to try and drive a point across.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Lack of evidence + hearsay.

I'll reserve judgment.

Sack Knights.

I WILL SAY THIS ONLY ONCE - IF YOU ARE ANTI MATTHEW KNIGHTS, YOU ARE ANTI ESSENDON.



I have spoken to Knighta on a number of occassions and not once has he ever come across as an arrogant tossbag.

This purely sounds like sour grapes.

About the OP?

If it's true I think it's pretty poor and to me it looked a little too heartfelt to be a troll. If it IS a troll it's a bloody good one.

If I'd been waiting outside the ground in the freezing cold with my kids to get an autograph after a performance like that, I think I would have been pretty damn shat off to be treated that way as well.

Just sayin is all..

Oh My God !

We have gone from one extreme to another.

I suppose the large and bolded font, is a way to make sure that your post is noticed ,

Come on mate calm down, you got your message across. Thing is, not all people that love this club think the same. That is a fact and cannot be changed.

 

[eastaugh36]

I know I shouldn't butt in, however that is a sad story. I've met a few coaches out and about, but none more than Kevin Sheedy and he was a fantastic bloke and always had plenty of time for kids.

Knights gives off this arrogant vibe.

Exactly and its why I will defend Sheeds to the hilt. Attending a thrashing at Football Park is nothing new to me even in the Sheedy years and despite this, Sheeds still had time for the fans.
Get rid of Knights. I'm sick of this negative vibe we have at the moment. He should never have been chosen in the first place.

 

[OzBomber]

I got a photo with him the day before if it makes you feel better.

It is a pretty bad doing that, especially to kids. I even got a photo with Woosha and he was nice enough to stop despite being in a real rush to get to the airport! I must say though after an 85 point smashing, it's probably not the best time to be going over to the coach who would obviously be fairly pissed off.

 

[castaway32]

No Troll here fellas....just a dissappointed Bombers fan who cares about his club, and thought that id share what happened. Was hurting very bad after that loss, but looking forward to hopefully smashing the demons this week!

not sour grapes either, as mentioned earlier in the thread, i could care less about talking to him, he wasnt arrogant personally to me...he was to the kids that wanted his picture and autograph, which i thought was poor.

 

[DaSawx]

Don't think any coach is perfect and I'd guess every coach would have a similar moment during their career. I've heard all good things about Knighter until this 'incident'.

 

[Kong]

Mark Thompson's a ****. A pure ****. Allegedly. And visibly. As is Mick Malthouse.

Who cares. If they can coach, they can coach.
