Where is the backtracking? Let me guess - the "the coup of the century?". Well, considering that the century has 86 years left, I can hardly predict whether something will trump this in the year 2099.

It will definitely trump anything this century up until now.
Which is interesting - it'd have to be pretty big to trump Lyon from St Kilda to Freo...

From lurking (New poster) and studying CE78s comments and likes I am convinced he believes that Bolton will be joining crows. The others come from Sydney (Dew or Francou), and someone linked to Port Adelaide (unlikely Choco, based on other comments here possibly Lade).

I am assuming ROK is a given with the early leak.

All I am missing is a head coach to piece this together which looking at what's available and comments in the media rules I believe Ratten best fit for the job.

I will be presently surprised if Bassett is involved somehow, but would be courageous move if he is to lead the club.

Sorry if stating the obvious for some but wanted to summarise some of the hot yet cryptic rumors on here.

Let's hope courage wins out.

Cut a long story short. here was only 2 coaches suitable for this job & we will not get them (Clarkson & Worsfold). Another ex assistant coach will be another Sando!

Well done AFC board for another great decision.
You know who was an assistant coach before becoming a premiership winning head coach? Alistair Clarkson.

Should we read anything into the reports of Bomber Thompson flagging a possibility of leaving Essendon? He says nobody from Adelaide has approached him, but that's definitely a change of tune from a week ago.

This seems like a fairly good assumption. I cannot however see any commonality in any of C78's 'likes'. He/She seems to often like quite conflicting posts.

I guess we'll just have to continue to speculate on here and wait until the announcement is made... I love the silly season!

If (and I mean If I have no source saying he is leaving) he goes it will be to The Suns.

I'm hearing that Worsfold is likely to be our next coach. Source is someone "close to the club" but not within the club.

Pretty happy if that is the case. Obviously we'd love Lyons, Clarkson or Longmire but they are all top four contenders and under contract. Worsfold is considered the best of the next tier.
He's not interested. Ruled himself out last week. Happy with Coaches association role he's got.
They always say that...
