48 years ago. :$

Older than many of the people at the club.
Yep, holding onto to anger is a waste.
For all the angst, Balme and Clarko were there to be squared up with at the time and AFAIK both played out the game.
To knock back a great operator in Balme, on the back of an incident that occurred well before most of us were born is absurd.
 
My biggest question over hiring Worsfold is how does this work with the soft cap?

I might be wrong but I was under the impression that the 30%ish reduction in soft cap in football operations was carried through until 2022.

Apparently we, along with a lot of other clubs, had to let good people go to stay under the cap, so are we breaking the soft cap meaning Worsfold will become a proportionately more expensive hiring due to AFL tax? And if we are breaking it for Worsfold, why him and not some of the people we had to cut loose?

Or are we under the cap in which case, WTF? It was something like a $3million reduction and I would expect we were already spending every cent of the remaining cap.

My guess is that we're operating under the cap, the $$$ to pay off historical debt in the middle of a revenue crisis had to have come from somewhere

It was a last ditch effort to get some experience around Teague. Sadly it was half-assed and too little too late.

It was also at the request of Teague, the same as the assistant coaches.. It seems like far too much power and decision making was put in the hands of such an inexperienced coach.. This is the failings of Brad Lloyd and I hope the report highlights this. Teague was given no chance of succeeding.

Agree with you and succinctly stated, As a footy department , the coaching was lacking in adequate resources, David needed some mentoring hands on type too.
David’s personality & charisma was suited to playing group fine , but the remainder of the boxes were unticked.

What ever we paid him was way too much.. Was always strange appointment, especially considering his last job was at Essendon who's biggest issues were the inability to defend.

Essendon posters said he was a mercenary when he was appointed.

Our club has lost the plot. From an inside source at Essendon, Worsfold is old school and so far off the pace with modern footy it is ridiculous. No understanding of modern structures and systems, laughs at stats/data and thinks it is for eggheads, just old school blokeyness. His one good attribute is being a good bloke and in that capacity he’s a slightly less competent John Barker.

It’s a jobs for the boys, feel good appointment that brings us absolutely nothing of worth.

I stand by this sentiment!
