Yeah I’m not sure of his logic given Kevin Sheedy was from Richmond.
"Only success earns a coach some sort of acceptance by the supporters at a club they didn’t play for."

Sheedy won four premierships.

Do you think we would have seen a #standbywoosha hashtag if he had been in charge during the supplements saga?

Not saying that there aren't issues with his coaching but I think it's true he's under more pressure particularly from past players in the media than he would if he had played for Essendon.

I’m not sure there is acceptance for any coach of any club no matter who they played for if they can’t bring success.

Kevin Bartlett, Francis Bourke, Tony Shaw, Brett Ratten, Michael Voss. Didn’t last much beyond 5 years as coaches of the club they were premiership players and champions of.

The fact it took this long to publicly support Woosha’s role (given all the media speculation) tells me one of 2 things, either it was a very close call or Essendon supporters are unimportant to the club.

Personally, I’m glad Woosha will see out the final year of his contract. We do however need to change what we have been doing.

The preseason will answer that, if they make an effort to change things on the training track then we can take it that the message from fans is getting through. I think the fans are more concerned with the performance of the players than the coaches.
