Richmond take the job away from him and win a flag from nowhere
We give him said job and turn to richmond-esque levels of garbage.....

coincidence?

The ‘Me too’ way by EFC - we used to be the innovators - we have become the imitators.

The guy might be a football management genius but he hasn’t sounded convincing when I’ve heard him speak (that’s the kindest way I could think to put it).

Has Dan Richardson saved Essendon’s season? Word was he drove Neeld out, against Worsfold’s wishes. Suddenly we’re a different side. I know there are other factors but that sacking was surely the biggest.

 

[DonsRule]

And he is gone

 

[Runk]

Not upset.

 

[rumply]

And he is gone

good riddance

And he is gone

There must be some serious movement happening behind the scenes. Was backed by Brasher only a few weeks ago.

We should have twigged then

being publicly backed by the board is never a good sign

Rhymes with GapeScoat

I, um. What? Huh? How? What does this mean for Rutten? What does this mean for our trade period?

The timing of this is bloody awful. Did he get caught with PEDs or something?

 

[boncer34]

Not upset.

Why? What specifically do you think he's done wrong?

0/10

Yeah i got that vibe too.

 

[lmaohelp]

Time to get rid of Xavier as well.
I’m just glad we are finally making some signifcant changes. We have been too soft for too long and hopefully Truck continues he’s hard nosed approach.

 

[Nuts4Bolts]

Dodoro wins trade week again!

 

[Phone]

lol.

 

[andleanback]

Don’t think him and dodo ever saw eye to eye maybe he got support from people in power to get rid of dan.
If Richardson is getting sacked then XC shouldn’t be far behind him, was his idea for the retched succession plan to cover his ass for giving worsfold an extension.
imagine Hird comes in as head of football. Doubt we’ll be able to find a decent GM at this time of year.

 

[Swerving Irv]

RIP Richo, we hardly knew ye.

 

[RearNaked]

s**t timing surly have a replacement lined up

 

[eth-dog]

Eh. Not ideal timing in all honesty though.

 

[Runk]

Why? What specifically do you think he's done wrong?

Well not upset in that we've had far worse news during this period (eg: Saad leaving).
This announcement simply doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Don't think Xavier should go, he's clearly been good with the business side of the club. Just needs restrictions put in place with his influence over the football department.

People will likely move on when tomorrow's news is band 1 compo.
