Yeah Freo are us, minus the recent flag. Apparently their coach is pretty good though so they should turn it around next year with some good recruiting and change of gameplan.
Not if they overspend on LJ, I really don’t see the benefit of him to them.

It's so utterly insane that they're entertaining this. But it's so utterly Essendon.
In the unlikely event that he gets appointed, this will bring so much scrutiny on the club - dissecting every match - for at least 24 months. And the players get subjected to that, and some of them are 18, 19, 20 etc. It just seems like such a terrible environment to put everyone in. I mean we utterly ****ed up the development of any number of players, but this is next level.

Utter madness but not out of the question that they will do it.

They're got Robert Walls and Jordan Lewis helping with the selection process. Some high-level, undercover trolling must be going on.

Yeah that selection is out there BIG TIME. I think it is Essendon’s way of demonstrating that they can be independent maybe? If not then I have no idea what it is other than high comedy.

I think the independent panel is only there to select potential candidates and make recommendations, but the decision still comes down to the board, so this could go anywhere

BIG TIME.
 
All you can do is sit back and applaud Geelong's list management. Somehow they manage to continually entice talent to come play and live in that s**thole! Helps they are a massive area for junior football development and a lot want to go home, but giving up pretty much all their picks in 2020 for Jeremy Cameron to then turn around and trade in Holmes, Henry and Bruhn all Top 20 from that draft is exceptional list management. Yes they still need to pull all that off this trade period, but they rarely miss. Will always have us and most clubs covered in this area. That's why they never bottom out.

Getting in Eddie Betts to help Stengle on and off field was incredible. On the other hand, Conor McKenna is about to fall into their laps because they have a couple of Irishmen. Some skill, some dumb luck.

Been lucky with father sons as well but I still feel their recruitment, trading and drafting is first class. Have done pretty much what we need to do in the offseason. Seamlessly does a mini rebuild while in the premiership window. Looked like they were going to fall off a cliff yet in 2 offseasons have replenished a chunk of the list with very good youth and tweaked their gamestyle to remain a huge premiership threat. Hope Goody and the boys have been paying attention.

Its not dumb luck, people wanna play for Geelong because they make prelims almost every year. Meanwhile we've lost 2 top 5 draft picks to Freo in 5 years
 
Imagine for a second that you get sacked from your job for not doing it right, maybe incompetently. In fact your incompetence directly lead to many people losing their jobs.

Then you sit on your ass for 12 months and have the audacity to reapply for that same job at the same company.

This ladies and gentleman is James Hird and the Essendon football club
