News Essendon Dreaming?

[rusman]

On way to work this morning listening to andy and timmy on SEN. They said they just recieved a phone call off air from a former player and someone involved the afl who they said was creditable said williams and hird have both signed to some sort of coaching roll today/yesterday.

Then when i get home dad said that they still had interviews going on (could be for assistant roles tho.

Only an SEN source but would be great if true. All out of contracted players would sign up

My contact within the club said Knights will probably not be reconsidered for the top job. It's just a rumour at this stage, but I'll keep you posted if anything comes to fruition.

 

[Kong]

Good stuff, Godzke.

My source (potentially very close to the club) has said that Richardson has been interviewed during the process.

Could sound far fetched, but I trust my source.

Rumour has it Knights was overHIRD saying "if Houli stays I'm definitely out of the race.
He then apparently mumbled that if anyone from the EFC needed a loan or financial assistance they could "GET STUFFED", and that he's "staying the course" to the Casino.
Apparently said that people had rolled the dice with him so many times and lost he's DUE for a win, but he seemed confused about who was with him and who wasn't.
That's just a rumour.

I think they showed a distinct lack of insight in selecting a man with limited coaching success in the past.

I love how this was a reason why many wanted Knights out....so we should replace him with Hird. WHAT COULD POSSIBARY GO WRONG?!?!?!?!??!

Richo having a 2nd interview this afternoon. Would be very happy for him to stay involved!

Hence the preferable involvement of Williams, Thompson and Laidley.

knights had experienced assistants too.

ESSENDON coaching hopeful Mark Williams has warned of the dangers of putting an untried candidate into the top job.

Does this cross a line through a Hird/Williams combo??

 

[DaSawx]

If Richo doesn't get the job would he stay as an assistant?

 

[abers47]

Let's hope so!

 

[Jesse Custer]

If Richo doesn't get the job would he stay as an assistant?

Very good question. Depends if he receives any offers or not. Would understand if he decided to leave though.

 

[Kong]

He's signed for another 2 years, isn't he?

 

[Jesse Custer]

No idea.

 

[yaco55]

I believe he is signed for another two years.

I woner about his status if he doesn't become Head Coach.
