Nice to see the board respond to the virtual uprising by the masses and get the hint. We need Essendon people putting this club back on the right track.
Clever move in fact, as getting Lucas involved in the search for a new coach, they hit a few issues on the head:
1) To those who believed that Essendon was becoming very un-Essendon like, getting Scotty involved gives it a distinctively Bomber feel.
2) Us versus Them. Them won Knighta. Knights really alienated a lot of people by painting what was perceived as an "us v them" mentality, when the other side was Lloyd, Lucas, Hird, Sheedy. He could never win that popularity contest, and alot of people (myself included) felt jaded by it.
3) The voice of dissent (represented in Lucas) chooses the next coach. That should placate the masses.
On ya Scotty.
