If Essendon are after a coach who can "sell" the club then Daniher is a moral to get the job. He`s no way as mental as Sheedy but had to re-invent himself at Melbourne, change as a person to "get himself out there" which he did superbly.
My first pick is McKenna, has been for 2 years now. Daniher would be No.2 IMO.

The idea of Andrew Jarman is growing on me as the days pass. Surely he would get looked at by atleast one club. I'd love to see the guy coach, and love it even more if he was at Essendon. Some say you cant get more eccentric that Sheedy.

I'm warming to the idea of Daniher.
You could see the love the Melbourne players had for him in the last game and the captain Neitz was very strong in his defence.
I think his record is pretty good at Melbourne so put him at a better club and he might just be able get us to another flag or two.

NO DANIHER!
why do people think all of a sudden he is going to become a great coach at a better club.
look at the list he had at melb. over the last 3 years melbourne list imo has been better than essendons list. or atleast in better shape to win a premieship
He had more depth and more senior players. essendon list was not far behind just that the list depth is just kids who still need time.
he had his chance. i cant see how the efc board can justify that getting a experienced coach is the right move when there is no better experienced coach around then sheedy.
They must go for someone new. GOD or McKenna are my two choices

I'm not a huge advocate of Daniher and I must say the idea of him coaching us is something that is becoming less and less appealing here.
But when people talk of his record at Melbourne, they must also remember the resources he had at his disposal.
Melbourne as a club aren't in the same ball park as Essendon. Neale Daniher isn't a great coach, but he's a good one.
The thing we would have consider is if he could go to another level with the resources afforded to him at EFC.
Neale was always my preferred option if Sheedy was to go.
I think we've got to look past Neale's record at Melbourne and look what he can offer specifically to us, but since it's been mentioned, I don't think it's too bad. In all Neale's time at the club, Melbourne's been an average list in my opinion. They have not had a genuine star but rather guys that have popped up and been handy for particular seasons, ala Woewodin, Farmer, Neitz, White and Yze. I believe Neale got the best out of them.
One thing that's certainly in Neale's favour is his ability to promote, I'd rate him second only to Sheedy out of coaches in recent years. Essendon is a club that thrives on atmosphere and isn't afraid of doing something different. This in its own attracts attention, and Daniher is the right man to harness that.
Neale also comes as a good tactician. I rate Neale very highly as a guy who's able to improvise to changing situations, try something radical but, most importantly, organise a midfield. Neale was excellent and at getting the most out of his midfield at Melbourne and Essendon during his time as an assistant. Not only was he the man behind the shut down of Carlton's midfield in the 1993 Grand Final, but Melbourne's midfield worked very effectively against a number of good opponents, most recently the Elimination Final against St. Kilda last year. This year Melbourne's been undermanned and out of form, I wouldn't even look in to it.
With better cattle to work with and better resources, I see Neale surpassing his achievements at Melbourne quite easily.
Finally, Neale is a loveable character, to anyone. To the media, he's an entertainer, he doesn't get all riled up and grumpy like a Mick Malthouse. He's jovial and calm and would project a good image on the club. As a player, Sheedy promoted him to captain very early in the piece. Why? Because he was liked and that like translates to respect. It seems the same character travelled on to Melbourne as the reaction of the players to his sacking was one of pure devastation. How often do you see the captain almost reduced to tears after the coach being sacked?
Neale comes as a more than capable coach, a great man and a great promoter. Of the coach's available, I don't think their credentials quite match Neale's.

I'm starting to see some positives in Neil -- To me he seems a likely character that could, even if he is not the long term option, bridge the gap and build the list before Essendon find the next long term coach. Of course, if they find a candidate that fits the bill as the "next long term option" right now, then I think they should go with it.

Neale Daniher did nothing at Melbourne except one grand final when they got thrashed by us. He's already had time to prove himself and he failed. I wouldn't want him at Essendon.
There have been some good points raised about the qualities of Daniher in the previous posts but i have a few concerns.
His teams have been EXTREMELY inconsistant - This has been from year to year, or from portions of a season. He seems unable to stop a form slide when it happens. This year doesn't count as injuries have destroyed them, but really has been over his whole time at Melbourne.
He has been labelled as being very slow to react to moves from opposition coaches and by the time he does, it's too late.
He carries on like a 2 bob watch in the coaches box - Not totally sure if this is a real negative or is it that we are so used to Sheeds and him being so calm.
I would prefer not to get Neal as our coach but if the board chooses him, then i will support their decision and await our new era with enthusiasm.

I'd put the inconsistency down to the players more than anything else. As I said earlier, througjout Neale's time at Melbourne there's never been genuine stars, just guys that have played well for periods. Their inconsistency has blocked them from being classed amongst the elite, and stopped Melbourne from winning consistently in my opinion.
I can't say I've noticed a slowness to react. If it is the case, it's obviously a concern. However, with the right team around him, I'll back him to overcome it.
As for the coaches box, I'm just going to say that it shows his commitment. Chances are that I'll be frustrated as a supporter, there's no reason why the coach can't be frustrated as well. I must admit though. Sheeds' calmness was soothing.
Haha, can you imagine him and Johnno competing for mark of the year?
I don't want Daniher as our coach. Even if you're to look past his record (and why should we - he hasn't done that much, sure he got them up for a grand final, but some years they've been so far from a grand final it's not funny), you need someone with new ideas. Daniher would really be a very "comfortable" and "easy" option and I don't think we need that.
Having said that, I would be fine with Bomber Thompson coaching us. I'd like him or Go'D. I think Gary would have learned a lot at Brisbane that he could use as a senior coach.
