News Essendon falls apart again

[Gavin Excell]

Is Scott safe?

Would have to be in some doubt

 

[Philhawk]

I am stunned to be here.

Merrett a certainty to stay now after being promised, “this time it’s different”.

 

[Bald]

Why do I feel like the administration at Essendon takes a very unserious football club very seriously?

Just relax and make good decisions.

 

[bzparkes]

Just relax and make good decisions.

If they were capable of that, they'd have won a final in the past 20 years.

ess are now more comical then the Roo's
we haven't even reached the craziness of trade week yet.

 

[Elixuh]

Time is a flat circle for Essendon.

External self interest derails club. Rinse and repeat.

 

[NonRollingStoneScribe]

I hope Barham stepping down isn't part of some desperate attempt to keep Zach Merrett.

 

[Lando_]

Due to the constant board spills/ president changes and disruptions, the club has now decided to just add them in their calenders. That way they at least get to know what is going on at their own club.

 

[Cyclops]

Jeepers.

That is actually plausible.

 

[HBFlanker]

This might seem like an over reaction, but they need to hand the club over to administrators.

This cannot continue.

 

[HBFlanker]

Jeepers.

That is actually plausible.

Very plausible.

Merrett met with Welsh late last week

 

[bzparkes]

Essendon supporters rn..

 

[Dr Tigris]

Made me laugh.

Just got to hope that short term magic fixes are looked for again.

Maybe

 

[HairyO]

Very plausible.

Merrett met with Welsh late last week

And Welsh is a huge fan of Hird and Dodoro.

 

[Freomaniac]

Quite a sizeable portion of bombers fans seem to really hate Brad Scott.

I'm wondering how much of this hatred is residual from 2001 when the Lions and Bombers had that big rivalry?

Didn't Brad Scott used to tag Hird?

That point is irrelevant. It was 25 years ago.

Essendon has won 16 flags. That 2001 grand final loss is just a blip on the radar.

Always rated Brad Scott as a semi decent coach after his 10 years as North Melbourne coach

 

[Shane Heard]

In all
Seriousness…I think there’s probably a big problem with how Scott communicates with the players and players hates him..or don’t rate him as a coach.

Zac has probably said ..get rid of Scott and I’ll give up my plan to jump
Ship

 

[Vindicater]

Well.

Back to following Sturt as my main team.

 

[TRP1996]

Merrett to be the first Captain-President?

 

[Pistol Night]

Well.

Back to following Sturt as my main team.

Should get Marty Mattner to the Dons? Bloke can coach

 

[janty]

At least Ridley is staying now for his 10 games a year.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Merritt wont be traded according to the new president

New Essendon president's strong stance on captain's future

Andrew Welsh has quickly made his presence known, addressing the Zach Merrett saga.

At least they have drawn a line in the sand

 

[Shinboner roo]

 

[SC_Power]

I think it’s great that Essendon have left the past in the past, learnt from their mistakes, and gone with …
-checks notes-
… an ex-player corporate with a lot of money.
They need someone to push back on the coteries filled with other ex-player corporates with a lot of money.

I'm not sure if it's drawing a line in the sand, or doing a Joe Daniher all over again

Its good. He is unifying the old players behind him in their quest to remain irrelevant but at least they didnt let Hawthorn get the player we wanted.

Also, opening the door for Dodoro to return for next year, and Hird the year after.
