With all the chatter about Enright as a Blues candidate, would that be a succession disaster? Or is it an "Oh well" kind of deal if he did in fact leave?

Honestly hope he does leave just so it’s a nail in the succession plan coffin. I don’t like them, I don’t think they work. If Ross fails as a coach and gets sacked, replacing him with the guy in charge of the gameplan and match day tactics is crazy.

And if Ross doesn’t fail, and doesn’t get sacked - why would we want to replace him?

We saw the damage it did to the Pies with Malthouse/Buckley. Don’t need it here

Better off having that judgement out of the club if he decides to take on that poisoned chalice.

Should be no guarantees.
If the job becomes vacant, and Enright wants it, he needs to present like any other person wanting the job.
Don’t like the automatic succession.

Swings and roundabouts - we copped it for being the only club not to speak to Logan Morris (despite us already teeming with 3rd forward types at that point in time), turns out we were looking under the radar at a young fella only three clubs spoke to

Brad Scott the guy who falsely lived off his twin brothers sucess, should go down as one the worst and most miserable individuals ever to coach an AFL side. I dont love Essendon but I felt sorry for them with that fool in charge, good riddance Brad the game will be much brighter without you!

If the above poster kicked as accurately as his posting in the correct thread, he’d be playing in the back pocket.

 

[Mat Mann]

With Hugo Garcia and Max Hall trusted with increased time on the ball, the side has not only climbed in the clearance ranks but have topped the competition rather comfortably.
“They are the best clearance side since Round 7,” Mobilio told SEN Breakfast.
“They have won 27 more than the next best side, so really dominating that part of the ground.


“The guy I want to talk about today is Mattaes Phillipou. He’s played 55 games now, hasn’t missed a game this year.
“I feel like he is there to break a game apart and really go on with it. You look at him across the last five rounds – he is a top 100 rated player in the competition. Prior to that, he was outside the top 300.

Level up: The young Saint ready to "break a game apart"

“I think he is close to really taking a game by the scruff of the neck and going on with it.”

The only good thing that came from his appointment as Essendon coach, aside from helping further drive them into mediocrity - is it got him out of his role at the AFL. His tinkering really destroyed the game.

Hopefully he fades into irrelevance. You are right about living off his brothers success.

Herald Sun headline - Worst News confirmed for $4.5 million Saint.

No mention of Sam's name or his terrible injury - just what the poor buggers contract is!

I am absolutely sick of the media putting the boots into our club every chance they get! Their constant slights against our player salaries is disgusting and it is something the club needs to take issue with. They all know we have to pay overs to get trades done, but the ignorant media clowns just continue to highlight the $$$ paid, in a way to have under handed swipes.

We had an absolute shocker against Hawthorn and deserved critcism, but no one highlights the amount of injuries to key players we have or the sh*tty draw we had leading up to the game. If it was Collingwood or another bigger club thats all you would read, but it seems the norm to attack us.

Because we have been out spoken about academies and aggressive in trades there is an obvious bitterness towards us. We are a minow club we are just meant to stay in our corner, remain non competitive and not be able to attract quality players. Well they can all GAGF!

The AFL media have become the lowest form of gutter press of any professional sport in the country.

Gutter journalism. Little so the know he took less to play at the saints than what other clubs were offering.

Pour pressure on a player. Pour pressure on that player’s club. Encourage opposition fans to hang sh1t on the player and the club, the latter of which places more pressure on on the player.

All at the same time said player is at his lowest.

The same media will probably then next week run with a story on players mental health issues and how the AFL is failing them.

Terrific stuff

I respect the Dogs for doing that. Would happily have the club follow their lead.
