Woosha is Lethal mark II..had is couple years off to decompress and now he's ready to go again.

Best possible candidate available he is and we've got him.
Agree, premiership coach. hard as nails and will be looked up to. Something an untried assistant cant do straight away.

If McKenna comes on board as assistant I will be stoked. As much as I wanted Hird to have a year without ASAGA, I think we needed to look outside the club.

It took getting back into footy to realise I'm kidding myself - I think I know what I really love doing," he told Channel Seven.

"It feels like it's what I should be doing.

"For that to be a coaching role at Essendon, obviously I have to show them that I have the energy, the hunger and the ability to fulfil what they're looking for."

It is understood Essendon's coaching sub-committee will meet with Worsfold by the end of the week.

"I've been given a brief on what I'm expected to present, as the other (candidates) will," he said.

"They don't really know me yet.

"They might know of me, but they really need to hear from me what I'm all about.

Sounds like a process to me.

If Woosh is to come on board, who would be the assistants be? I dare say he has a few lined up, maybe Bluey, but would he bring any ex-assistants from the Weagles. Maybe Burns?
Don't know, but just want the best candidates for each.

Having said that, a good forward coach would be great.

They seem OK with the appointment on the Blues board.

Maybe he'll be more useful there.

Having said that, I still don't know what he actually did at our club, apart from pissing off whomever was the head coach, and sending a weekly email.
Hopefully the scum pay him enough to buy a set of teeth, those emails are terrible

Pissed off if we just went out and offered Woosha a five year deal.

Go through the bloody process. Have we learnt nothing from the Hird appointment.

Spill the board.
Thats what is what I find really dissapointing about how efc, it takes its fans/supporters for total idiots.

boy oh boy. Wouldnt matter who we played our forwards couldnt hit the side of the barn and the team is mentally shot. We are a bottom team and require a mini rebuild. Hird did mention 8 players would be changed over. I give us 2-3 years before crack at top 4.
My first response was with regard to context. I can concede that our forwardline needs a lot of work, but it's difficult to deny that a limited preseason, WADA announcing an appeal and the loss of key best 22 players all played their part. We have limited depth and some shitty factors that conspired to sink us as low as we went. If we played our best we wouldn't have made the finals, but we wouldn't have been bottom four either. Context is important. I was simply pointing out that the final ladder positions don't give a clear reflection of a team's ability. It's a number. frenchfri12's avatar is interesting in the context of this discussion though. Troll maybe?

As a west Aussie in a 2 team town I hate west coast and all things associated with it. I am as anti Eagles as is possible yet I find myself strangely excited that worsfold will be our coach. I think it's what we need, tough succesful player who is also a proven successful coac. I think he is the best fit for us at this point in time and I look forward to him transforming us back into a powerful on field force.

I used to hate Adelaide and love going for trips to Melbourne, now I'd rather stay in Adelaide haha.

Only reason I go to Melbourne now is to see Essendon play.

Like I said each to their own, Adelaide just suits me better :D
You've grown into it I guess. Everyone from Adelaide seems to move to Melbourne at 18 and back ten years later.
