appointed as assistant coach at the Western Bulldogs, out of the running for Essendon job
28/9 Brad Scott to be interviewed on Thursday
29/9

 

[tandino]

After the 34 were suspended by WADA B4L posted something to the effect of ‘why don’t the suspended players just run out in round 1 anyway, the AFL won’t be able to stop them’

A bit like Paul Morwood

 

[Burzum]

If they do hire yze just know every loss me and many other dumb campaigners like me will demand he be sacked and we hire hird back..

Every loss..

 

[raskolnikov]

Forget about his so called links to the racist/bigoted links to Clarkson at Klansthorn, he is a Muslim and a person of great integrity who would never condone or take part in the alleged toxic and inhumane events at Hawthorn.

Yes. Because Muslims' track record with gay people and women is impeccable.

 

[ant555]

Not really.

We didn't ask everyone to apply. He made a short list.

What are we doing interviewing him at all?

Yes really.
We did not say please apply despite what Robbo is saying.
All that was said was we will not stand in your way if you apply.

 

[ant555]

Robbo’s latest take:

Hird: Why I want the Essendon job

James Hird has declared he would “love to get the job” as he waits to hear whether he will get a second chance as coach of Essendon.

www.codesports.com.au

WTF Robbo . The last line is just rubbish.
Yze was never at Melbourne in the time Mahoney was there.
Lewis got coached by him at the Hawks.
The link to Melbourne is not really a link as none of them where there at the same time.

 

[ant555]

He’s awesome. I miss him.

I don't .

 

[Vander18]

I suspect Scott will join the race.

If the piece around Scott waiting till after the GF to make a decision is true….why wait to say no, not interested?

He spoke recently of the permanent itch to coach….The guy is a pure street cop - not some office bound, pencil pushing desk jockey!

 

[The Donners]

He's an odd one ol B4L

Essington

 

[CBombers17]

If they do hire yze just know every loss me and many other dumb campaigners like me will demand he be sacked and we hire hird back..

Every loss..

I'm inclined to think it will represent the end of this for a lot of people - perhaps including Hird.

Besides If Yze gets the role then good appointment or not everyone can be thankful we have conducted our first proper process in decades. Hopefully it's evidence we've started to wake up to ourselves and turned the corner as a club.

 

[MiguelM]

If Scott joins the race you would have to think he would easily beat Yze if it ended up being a 2 horse race.

 

[Lore]

Yes. Because Muslims' track record with gay people and women is impeccable.

Non-Muslims aren’t a hell of a lot different in either regard. Also pretty difficult to brand a couple billion people based solely on their faith, they’re just as diverse in their views and adherence as Christians.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

If Scott joins the race you would have to think he would easily beat Yze if it ended up being a 2 horse race.

I’d say so, and I’d be happy with that. He’s a superb operator.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Herald Sun/Daniel Cherny has captured Yze meeting with Dodoro.

Would say that Yze is the man.

 

[citizen-erased]

Cara and scott joining late. Surprised we'd leave applications late.

Yze/choco ticking many boxes for me.

 

[MiguelM]

The "what if he succeeds" part of me in fantasy land wanted Hird, some comments lately changing my mind.

Really warming to the idea of Scott. No nonsense footy person.

Still not sure on Yze, not sure how he is an upgrade on Rutten TBH.

All rests on whether Scott applies IMO. If he does, will be hard to beat. Did well at North for the team he had, strong ties with the AFL, strong pedigree with his brother doing amazing at Cats, unlikely to gift games to Heppell & co if not performing.

 

[naraku]

I hope Scott's in. I've been pulling for him since this fiasco started.
Of course he will not of done everything perfectly at Norf, but he also took a so-so list to FINALS and won some as well.

 

[Coldacre]

BRING BACK HIRDY!

 

[Lore]

I read it so you don’t have to:

 

[P Money]

Yes. Because Muslims' track record with gay people and women is impeccable.

Seriously, stick to posting ill-informed opinions about football like the rest of us instead of denigrating 2 billion people with your ill-informed opinions about religion

But now ive seen it

 

[justlookingaround]

My dream lineup:
Scott - director of footy
Yze - head coach
Choco - player development coach
Gia - senior assistant coach
Hirdy - liaison to supplements program

 

[Bunk Moreland]

So after all this crap from buffoon Barham and co, looks like we’ll end up back where we started, but with Yze instead of Rutten, and when we have a tough year - be it 2023, 2024 or 2025 or whatever - and we will have one, everybody does - we’ll just sack him too.

Good stuff.

 

[TheGrizz]

If I am Yze or one of the other candidates, I'm pretty pissed that they have just let Scott and Caracella apply so late in the process.

Both could have signalled their intention when the panel was announced, even if it meant they were interviewed a little later due to circumstance.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Even then, I still think the likes of Brad Scott are taking the piss.

We don't really know they haven't indicated anything, Scott has AFL duties until after the GF and Caracella was overseas, maybe they both said they'd be open to interviewing once they're done with those, meanwhile the process has progressed with the rest.

Don't see why the panel would hold off on Phase 2 interviews with a guy like Yze given Scott won't do Phase 1 anyway, and Caracella would already be familiar with the club / staff at the club.
