Brad Scott how long?

[Vindicater]

He signed on fo four years and will have his first offseason/preseason now.

Our new CEO is also about to do a massive cleanout of the footy department is the rumour.

Listening to Brads press conference last night I think there will be some pretty big offseason fitness goals for some players.

 

[Dragz]

Overachieved this year. Got to play the bottom 3 5 times. Take 2 wins off them and then their ladder position is more reflective of their ability.

Is the weapon available?

 

[Engimal v3]

About 9 years of mid table finishes

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Essendon have gone backwards … rumblings at windy hill.

Does he get another season?

Yeah it’s all on Scott nothing at all to do with there bog average list and incompetent board

 

[BigVic]

Lost by 126 and 70 last two rounds. Should be under the pump next season.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

About 9 years of mid table finishes

And nearly 20 years of early holidays in September

 

[Dangerousfield]

A lot of the Bombers problems appear to be off field. Think getting Scott in was the boards attempt to finally have a clean out but it's difficult when some of those that need to move on are in positions of power.

Scott will stick to his task, good luck with that Brad.

Anyway, trade period only weeks away, always a high point in Essendon's calendar

 

[evo]

He has another couple years of grace.

Its all a predictable, glorious cycle:

Once those pesky finals are out of the way, attention can focus back on Essendon

- Firstly they will definitely win trade week. A big fish eg. Mckay will be landed at a bargain price, "North were absolutely fleeced by Adrian, hehehe"

- Secondly, Essendon will land a couple of flakely outside back flanker types, when they really need some big bodied grunt midfielders but nevertheless be declared as having a highly successful draft.

- Come January, their overrated one good game a month types will be declared burning up the track, think Stringrer, McGrath , Shiel

- come Februrary , their young hopefulls will get full page news articles about what fantastic futures they have, how we can expect a Hobbs break out season and Martin for All Australian

- April, May they ll have a postive win loss ratio and be in the the Eight, their fans will start puffing their chest out, bumping old threads where we were laughing at them and proudly declaring this seaon is different "suck shit Carlton, Hawks or North supporters"

-come July , Esendon will start getting flogged again and slip out of the eight back to their rightfull position around 10 -14. Essendon supporters will go quiet, and opposition supporters will bump the Dodoro thread and chortle.

- rinse and repeat

Most underperformed and unsuccessful club this century. Sheedy is hanging around like a confused ghost, Dodoro had more busts than a sunshine shop front window, and the club still thinks it’s actually relevant and meaningful.

Getting rid of Sheedy would be a start.

 

[James Colorado]

You know what, I'm actually ok with this situation.

 

[the PILL]

He'd want to watch himself with some the bizarre stuff he's pulling selection wise and the Resulties he's churning out...

Sheedy will be sharpening the knives for another Hird push and Dodoro will have no shame in whiteanting Scott to take the heat of his list fails.

 

[Shanghaistu]

He was just appointed to take the heat of Barham for a year or so. Now we can move onto our next victim - I mean, coaching aspirant. I just hope that whomever they appoint doesn’t say anything bad about our passionate and committed playing group, because it’s not their fault. Ever.

 

[nut]

Brad Scott not happy when Essendon were 11-5 … he is happy now because they are where they should be . ???
Pretty much what he just said.

Looks like he is happy again

 

[Philhawk]

What exactly came from his off season and the “fitness goals”.

The major knock on him to me is that Essendon players look completely disinterested in playing tough footy.

Now, you can say that’s a cultural issue, but when the head coach isn’t stamping down on that and dropping players for kids who will get stuck in, that’s now his problem.

Spooky.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Spooky.

That sounds like the Richmond supporter optimism grahph

Vintage Bay - The Monthly Richmond Supporter Optimism Graph **TOTY 2017**

Let's start in the month of October... October: The trade period normally excites Richmond supporters somewhat, I mean, there is only one direction to go from September in terms of optimism and that is up! It is at this time Richmond will lose players (almost always bad ones, which will please...

Had to check the date lol, look at Nostril Damus here.. supporters going quiet is the only thing wrong.

 

[windyhill]

Looks like he is happy again

And Yze, he looks delighted.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Brad has publicly talked about an eight year plan, he's still got six years to run.

In that six years, the club will, as they always do, win a more trade periods for Brad, and draft some gun players so the necessary cleansing can be completed, and then finals will be back on the agenda. Winning a final, well that's a bit trickier.

In reality, Brad needs to make progress next year after two very ordinary seasons or else the club will move for a new messiah

 

[Foxx]

I don't like his approach this year.

He's played tall sides in wet games.
He's playing key position players as wingman
And He's playing a forward press gameplan with a side that not good enough with their skills, and doesn't have defensive half forwards to play that aggressive setup.

And that's just the start of my gripe at his tactics.

 

[Freomaniac]

Surely he gets longer than one year lol

He will

But you North Melbourne fans are cruel.

Calling it now. Engimal v3 and Rod Stroker , Essendon will steal richmonds traditional 9th spot. lol

They'll be lucky to finish 9th

Yeh blame the coach and not the players. Much better making list changes first. Regardless if you make it or not, 2025 will decide his future.

Not a lot of flexibility with in game coaching either. The magnets never move.
