[frodos gardener]

The coach looks good in a red and black tie.

 

[Doss]

Brad could legitimately be sacked right now and he still wouldn’t be the shortest lived employee in Essendon’s history.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

I see we've given him the full Essington welcome.

“Thank god they got rid of Robbie Williams and my love child”?

amirite Beerfish?

I hear there were plenty of sausages at the Essendon event too.

Yeah right, I'm not sure this club could even organise a sausage sizzle at the moment the way we are going.

Nearly had a heretic sizzle up and running though

I spoke with former North Melbourne staffer and current analyst at The Shinboner Ricky Mangidis about what kind of coach Brad Scott is for Don The Stat - you can listen on Apple and Spotify

Without going all tin foil, i am liking this appointment more

His predecessor in the AFL role was Hocking.
Hocking goes to Geelong and within 18m are sounding out Bowes.

Bowes, who is not from Geelong, was an Academy Sun, and even if he wasn't would have been nowhere near Geelong's draft board in 2016.
A year after the Dockers pull off an interesting trade where they get Brodie and a top 20 pick for a 2nd and change.
And a few weeks later the AFL green lights free picks for salary dumps from nowhere.

Brad's intel in the trade strategy meetings is going to be quite handy.

Agreed. He probably already knows whether or not we'll be getting 5 man interchanges for next year instead of a sub, which helps the list strategy for trading a lot

Hopefully Aker is right, be interesting to see if the players listen to this coach or not.

Has he got us on the right path yet?

Would would have won a flag by now if we appointed Hird.

And if Hird had pulled on the boots we'd be on our way to a threesome.

We could even win 3 flags in a row.

Lol, not sure what happened there, but that should've said threepeat.

I know Jimmy is a handsome man with those golden locks, but I've never looked at him that way....

It’s sounding more and more like this this is a marriage made in heaven, not to say it will work but I think the report has chucked some stuff up that aligns well with what Scott brings.

Given we got Scott first and the report second it’s sheer dumb luck, but here we are.

Scott has come from having a shoestring budget, modest facilities and a pretty consistently modest talent pool but wrung the absolute utmost out of the lists he had by virtue of being better prepared, better aligned and having pretty strong leaders.

Given the stuff that has come out today about standards in training, prep and recovery I reckon the lads should enjoy the next couple of weeks because they are going to get absolutely ****ing flogged this pre season.

And it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Scott’s leadership group is just the blokes who can hack it without munting.
