Interesting, interesting, interesting call from an Essendope supporter on SEN this morning, apparently with inside information about the club.

Apparently, Hird will not be coach next year, for starters. That's not too hard to fathom as he's likely to get punishments for his wrongdoings.

However, the caller also said that Paul "something would have to change" Roos would be coaching the Dons next year.

What do other Essendope fans think of this? Haduken I am sure your balanced *cough* commentary is needed here.

Personally I think Roos is a flog who'd be right at home on the Bay (the absolute mastery with which he disguises his trolling as intelligent commentary often leaves me speechless) but given he's carefully cultivated a reputation of being a quality bloke almost as well as Hird has -excuse me, Had- I fail to see why he'd willingly sully said rep to take over from Golden Boy.

No one in their right mind would want to associate themselves with Essenjection right now. I expect its players to request trades by the buttload at the end of the season too.

It's not insider information, it's an educated guess.

Hird won't be coaching next year, Essendon will either remove him, or he'll step down, or the AFL will intervene. Roos has been cagey about coaching for a while, which means he's simply waiting for the right chance/offer.

Melbourne? lol, why would you
Carlton? lol. lol.

Essendon? Much better prospect. Better list than Melbourne and Carltank, more money, more supporters, better facilities and they'd give him more control over the club than the other two calamities would. They can afford the Tird payout anyway.

Except they'll get no draft picks for two years (hopefully) to say nothing of the entire list copping bans from ASADA. Even if the players miraculously get off I bet a bunch will walk at the end of the year - who'd want to be associated with such a vile club after what's gone on this year?

Nope, I just can't see Roos being dumb enough to put his rep on the line by signing with Essenjection.

Good point.

Didn't really think of that. Oh well, we'll get Roos as Director of Coaching then once Rocket goes to Melbourne.

Paul Roos is coaching about half a dozen clubs next year if you believe all the rumours.
Exactly.

Besides, Paul Little can easily afford to throw more dosh at Ross Lyon than what he's getting at Freo right now. Given the Bombers' defense is a joke I'd say it'd be a great fit. ;)

Umm... what does a "director of coaching" actually do anyway? It sounds like a wanky name for the bloke who shakes his head every time Collingwood loses and whispers to Eddie "This bloke is really shit."

Ross Lyin would fit in well at Essendope, replacing one lying backstabber with another.

Well me and a mate spoke with Goodwins brother down at McLaren Vale on Saturday and he was saying the club's asked Simon to fill in as care taker and Hird wont be coach before this weekend.
Ahhh let this be true

The Bombers will not be getting a new coach until WADA are finished with the club they may get a caretaker coach but Roos isn't coming in until he knows what he has to work with...it may not be pretty.....can't see Goodwin pointing the club in the direction it needs to go even as caretaker
