Brad Scott - New Essendon Coach

[nipst@r]

Premiership, McClelland Trophy and Allan Jeans Senior Coach of the Year Award.

Sheedy and dodo gone. If he can help achieve that ess have made a great choice.

King makes a valid point, so what are the Bombers expectations?

To be fair he also made 2 Prelims which means 4 more finals wins than Essendon in the last 20(?) years

 

[nipst@r]

This is disturbing. Essendon finally displaying signs of intelligence. It may be sentient after all.

Dodo and Sheedy still seem to be running the place so I'd stay optimistic if I was the opposition. He might just be coach 6 to take the blame for clubs failures

 

[Rabish Binney]

He vehemently defended the ump's earlier in the season in his position with the AFL in regards to the player dissent rule...

Will be interesting to see his reaction if the Bombers get reamed in a game at his after match press conference.....

I think this is reasonable appointment, he never really had the list at North to do much better than the results he got imo.

Results can come later

First it's about sorting us out as a shambles. Which I think he is well placed to do

Also, King is a ****wit who has history with Brad. Scatters opinions, cherry picks vision/stats, and really offers very little in the way of anything that holds water.

To pile on so soon and think Yze was the answer when a) he'd been passed up by other clubs, b) wasn't privy to the process & c) is paid for clicks....

Yep King is an absolute halfwit with biased opinions.

Jesus christ Sheeds

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Today was a good day for Essendon and he comes out with this crap

Time to go Sheeds

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I actually don't think it really matters who is coach. Unless we have a united board and executive from top to bottom, we'll continue going nowhere.

 

[MarcusP2]

Imagine being in the job for half a day and a board member / team legend coming out and saying you're a dud.

 

[Red Bull]

If the dons ever hope to have a functional footy club they need to boot this old soak and his sidekick to the curb without delay !!
Enough’s enough surely …

 

[RearNaked]

Need another board spill to make sheeds the president

 

[The 747]

Starting Sept 2022

I thought Scott might get a few months grace but you are right. He got one day, then it began via Sheedy.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He's legit lost the plot

“I am extremely disappointed that the comment from my club was that it was fully endorsed, when in fact I voted for James Hird to be the coach of Essendon,’’ Sheedy said.

“The vote was 6-1.

‘’Now, I would’ve expected that to have been written, and that in the end the board actually won that vote.

“But I want to make sure all the fans know that I voted for James Hird and I’m extremely disappointed with the report that went out from the Essendon media department.

“I’m not happy.

“Don’t tell the Essendon fan base an untruth.

“This is what happens when you bring new people into the club.

“I actually felt insulted that Hird would think I voted against him after what he’s done for our club.’’

 

[Bluish]

The mind boggles at the claim that Scott deserves credit for “overachieving” for a poor list.

It’s almost as if consistently playing favourites, leaving youngsters worthy of a shot to rot in the VFL, and picking up more than your fair share of shitmen hasbeens from other clubs, has a negative impact on building a strong list.

He had 10 years. His inability to lead development and mould a list to properly challenge is on him.

Robbo is Hirds Chief Media Spokesman

 

[Kernafides]

I'm surprised Geelong let him go

we cant just sack people who disagree

that's why you have boards with an odd number, so they can vote.

i have no issues with sheedy voting for hird, but i'm glad the board voted with common sense.

if sheedy is going to white ant people though, than he needs to go in the bin.

Agreed, Scott is a terrible choice

Still a few galaxies ahead of Hird though!

 

[compact72]

Yeah Essendon is going nowhere with Sheedy on the board.

Followed a good process, got a stable coach and then they manage to find a way to mess it up

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

It's like watching Chris minus the hair and beard

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Good. You want to talk about rose coloured glasses and a conflict of interest problem..Sheedy shouldn't have been anywhere near the voting process

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Dave Barham please remove this old codger from the club thanks

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Agreed imagine getting a team with Harvey, Wells, Cunnington, Swallow, Dal Santo, Waite, Higgins, Ziebell, Thompson, Tarrant, Petrie, Brown, Thomas to an elimination final.

Exactly.

 

[HBFlanker]

Its the lowest of low bars, but Scott will be the best coach they have had since Sheedy.
