• Adam Potter – VFL Assistant Coach

I’m not sure Jordan Lewis or Robert Walls were ever club employees to begin with.

Nor was McKinnis.

Mahoney is/was an employee, Thorburn was employed for one very expensive day, and Hisgrove is on the board of directors which isn’t quite the same thing as being an employee.

 

[The Donners]

I’m not sure Jordan Lewis or Robert Walls were ever club employees to begin with.

Appreciate your input but I didn’t say employed and I imagine it wasn’t Lewis or Walls that ran the ruse moreso they were the decoys.

You think Walls and Lewis both just quietly sat there and played part in this 'ruse'?

Interesting.

 

[Zach Package]

The idea that Robert Walls could do anything quietly is an absolute riot

 

[ant555]

Appreciate your input but I didn’t say employed and I imagine it wasn’t Lewis or Walls that ran the ruse moreso they were the decoys.

And we are talking the wrong coaching ruse.

I was offered the Essendon coaching job: Choco

"That week announced Matthew Knights as the coach and I just couldn’t believe it … Couldn’t believe it.”

www.zerohanger.com

Essendon chairman Paul Little's failures are no small matter

Five years ago, just hours before James Hird announced himself the new coach of Essendon, the Bombers were still working to complete the farcical series of interviews it had already set up with rival candidates.

[ant555]

Burnt him twice .

 

[Zach Package]

Burnt him twice .

Is having Choco mentor and then handover to Hird instead of Hird being mentored by Bomba the biggest sliding doors moment in Australian sporting history?

 

[justlookingaround]

Choco to Essendon after 07 GF and Sheedy departure would’ve been better for all involved

 

[citizen-erased]

Is having Choco mentor and then handover to Hird instead of Hird being mentored by Bomba the biggest sliding doors moment in Australian sporting history?

or go the premiership coach over an under 9s part timer when you've been in the wilderness for nearly a decade.

All well and good until it turns out the premiership coach is on ice and filling the club with rogue actors.

off the table.

I keep hearing about moves but the longer you wait the more candidates are off the table.

Scott is already not the most tactically adroit candidate we could have picked, the least we could do is actually surround him with someone that is.

Have an of our assistants been moved on though. No sure we have any vacancies currently
I’d be going after Stuart dew for our forward line

Maybe play him in the forward line, our midfielders couldn’t miss the target that way.

 

[fanuch]

I just want whoever is the closest thing to Darren Burgess.

 

[Zach Package]

Ratten off the table, going back to the Hawks.

Tick tock

 

[ant555]

Ratten off the table, going back to the Hawks.

Tick tock

The only vacant spot we have now is development coach / VFL coach .

 

[Getratugolea]

Bombers stuffed it again..Ratten could have filled any number of roles

 

[Beerfish]

Bombers stuffed it again..Ratten could have filled any number of roles

But chose to go back to the club he came from. You know we can't force people to come to the club yeah?

 

[Zach Package]

The longer you wait, the closer to the closer to the bottom of the barrel we get I guess.

It would seem as if all the existing assistants are safe, quite surprising, I would have thought Scott would take a hatchet to them as well.

 

[owen87]

But chose to go back to the club he came from. You know we can't force people to come to the club yeah?

No. Everyone wants to come to EFC and it's obviously because EFC ****ed it up if they don't.

 

[DERO]

Has Caracella been flicked yet?

 

[DonsRule]

Has Caracella been flicked yet?

Nope. Still all ours.

 

[The Donners]

But chose to go back to the club he came from. You know we can't force people to come to the club yeah?

I’m sure they’ll find an Essendon nufftie to interview who screeches in 4 years time “why didn’t Essendon get Harley Reid???”.

Same same but different.

 

[ant555]

Maybe we have our eye on someone still involved in finals. It is not really the longer you wait at all.

 

[ant555]

Ratten does not want to coach as such. His new role at the Hawks will be a director of coaching style role. Not something we are running with given Scott has a lot of experience and we have McPherson as GM of performance. Vozzo also fills a major role in the football program .
