GAJ and Bolton. Im telling yall, its the bom...ber we can do better with!

 

[Covertackle]

Gee, you know a lot of information tigernova ! Can I ask who your sources are?

blokes like you....ahaha


seriously, open up the Essendon board and the Adelaide board and read the sources they are targeting. It saves a lot of legwork because they are doing their bit that helps you fill in the gaps. Like what is happening at EFC or what Bolton is doing at the Crows.....etc

And for whatever I did to you a few months ago, please forgive me. Im not sure what it was but get over it.

 

[exile]

GAJ is not going to be player coach. Just... no.

 

[SandyToes]

I just worked out what word BF puts in for campaigner so many posts make more sense now

especially if you take an interest in the North board at times LOL

 

[SandyToes]

Hird just entered Essendon HQ at Tullamarine.

It's really Airport West

 

[jackenny]

As I am not in the same room Punch yourself in the face for me please

You're right; it'd be more of a jump scare than a plot twist. My bad.

 

[Matchu]

No need. He met with them last night.

Do you know something we don't?

If Bomber does end up staying with Essendon then Mark 'Choco' Williams is an option. Coached Port to a premiership, spent some time with GWS so he understands the demands of an expansion side and spent years playing on the Gold Coast for the Bears back in the day. Perhaps the fact that he is a former teammate of Ashcroft is also a factor. He should be considered.

Why not. At what point does he fail as leader? With someone like Bolton in the box making strategig moves (which is what the hawks loved about him and his sports psyc) what is the downside?

 

[Covertackle]

Essendon chairman Paul Little, speaking outside his South Yarra office at 8.20am this morning, said he was on his way to Essendon’s Tullamarine base to discuss Hird’s future.
“There is no plan, I’m just on my way to the club now,” he said.

Yeah I think the one thing everyone on this board (Essendon) can agree on is that Hird will not be senior coach by the end of the day.

Hey CourtzMajora or tigernova how many alisis do you have?

he's just as much of a coach on the field. he doesn't need the additional role off the field. just let him focus on his footy.

 

[jackenny]

I'm honestly completely baffled that Hird is so ******* stupid. What a selfish mother goose. I'm not just saying this because it means Bomber is the number 1 pick to replace him, but because as club superstar, it's crazy. What the hell.

Hird is ruining his Golden Boy status. It's a shame; he was a superstar. Half of my family are die-hard Essendon supporters (they even went to that atrocious Brisbane vs Essendon game) and they just want him to quietly disappear and try to just remember him for his playing career.

 

[fabulousfill]

Age is reporting that Hird has just been sacked, heard on Hungry for sport on SEN

 

[Experimental]

Hird is like a deer being hunted by a bear. At the moment, the bear has clawed the deer and is about to maul the deer's neck. You know it's horrible, but **** it's cool to watch.

Unfortunately, when the deer dies, the deer's rival will become king deer and the other deer tribe from the beach will miss out on appointing their preferred king d....**** it.

trade radio just said caroline wilson reckon's hird's been sacked.

welp. guess we'll keep looking then haha. time to get rid of those mark thompson avatars, suns supporters.

They were all at the B&F last night. Tird wasn't. Given the current situation and the fact Bomber was leaving for o/s this morning, do you honestly believe they would not have discussed this at some point during the evening? It's possible, but extremely improbable.

 

[Covertackle]

He would only be the coach on the field. Perhaps midfield coach off the field, meetings with Bolton etc. The footy from GAJ the brains from Bolton. Winners.

Was genuinely asking. You seem to know what's happening, as opposed to speculating like the rest of us.

You haven't done anything to me at all. Stress-less.

Why do you like Bolton so much exactly?

Oh goody. No Bomber. Boltons got a shot!

Tune into Fox Sports News if you have Foxtel. Reporter out the front of the Bomber's HQ awaiting some form of statement

 

[Covertackle]

Why do you like Bolton so much exactly?

Bolton has a modern education in teaching to learn as against teaching everything a different way. There is a big difference. Its modern, he is schooled in it well as his is in NLP amongst other things.

He is obviously well respected by the strongest coaching staff of any club in the comp. He was chosen and did a perfect job for the Hawks when he was asked to step up in favour of other coaches the Hawks had available to them when Clarko went down. (was Ratten one of them?) That speaks volumes of their belief in him. They brought him from 'obscurity' in lower grades because they saw something in him. So much so he was given the gig over more experienced, winning AFL coaches instead. He came through with an 100% record. No other coach has ever achieved that. 5 wins in their 1st 5 outings. The Hawks made the correct choice as their second coach instead of Clarko...Brendon Bolton.

Mental conditioning is Boltons talent. That's the reason the Hawks put Bolton in the hot seat while the Hawks waited, not knowing how long Clarko would be out. They knew if anyone could keep the team mentally focussed it would be Bolton. They were right, he did, They won every game, he won his slice of history, he stood beside Clark and held the trophy on GF day. What more endorsement do some people need? The Hawks don't. They know his talents.

I like his demeanour in front of camera and how he explains things. When He talks, you listen; not just me obviously, it is a trait. The same sort of trait that got Gus Gould the gig as a young coach for Penrith and took then to winning grand finals. He then became the foremost mouthpiece in NRL commentary wit hthe way he spoke and came across. that is something that is extremely important. He is paul Roos like in that respect. You can see it on 360. Paul Roos you could listen to all day, whereas Bomber is a bit scratchy. Bolton is much more linguisticly adept than Bomber Thompson, regardless of Bombers winning history.

I would not have any qualms about giving him the coaching gig, as our list is now more mature when the untried Bluey began. They all begin somewhere, and the SUNS list is a list that a above average coach should do very well with.

I don't think Boltons age is a detriment, in fact I think its an advantage over Bombers. The boys will relate to him as they are still learners, he is a modern teacher, teaching a modern game with new ideas. Bomber is old school, a lot to fall back on, but the history he falls back on, some of it no longer applies. Bolton is still young, and he talks their language.

Wherever Bolton goes, I know he will do well. I wont be looking forward to playing against any side he coaches.

Edit. One last thing, I feel Essendon underachieved to what they promised earlier in the season. Now there may be a lot of reasons for this, certainly 90% of them mental. Mental conditioning is Boltons talent. That's the reason the Hawks put Bolton in the hot seat while the Hawks waited, not knowing how long Clarko would be out. Bomber had a similar challenge at Essendon. They lost their coach through difficult circumstances. He had a job to do to get his team back on track mentally. He did an inconsistent job albeit in difficult circumstances. But that is the job. Psychology.
