Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

Variation may be

F1 + 25 for Luko and 13.

Then you may get one of the best mids sliding to that pick meaning we get 2 of them in this draft!!

Edit> The other thing a deal like that does is scupper any chance Melbourne have of getting our pick 25 for ANB

Which is a FANTASTIC benefit.

42 and F3 should be fine for ANB.

There's a very pertinent issue though.

That list of coaches has been involved in successful environments and winning cultures both as players and coaches.

If they're continuing to build a successful culture then there's absolutely no reason why anyone would have an issue appointing from within that system.

Our issue is entirely different though, we desperately need a change in culture and that will only come from a fresh set of eyes and thinking.

Promoting from within is poor practice if you're perpetually appointing people from within the same system that's been mediocre for the best part of 30 years.

It depends if you want someone for the game day strategy or more a coaching coordinator. Ideally both but no many candidates around.

Anyway, that's what I'd do based on what I've observed but get he is behind people like Rutten. I wasn't expecting much support.

He'll wait until Tassie IMO.

 

[Mostyn]

He always thought you were Jenny

Lol, what a stupid comment.

Sanders was the best man at my wedding in 1999.

I've said previously on the board that we know each other well.

 

[Mostyn]

lol .. except Kristof doxxed himself, so I think you might be telling porkies

I'm not sure I know what you mean by doxxed in this context (!), but yeah I've never been secretive about being Kristof previously

Fair, but the game of football changes.

If they've all been exposed to only one system, will that give you the best perspective to change for the future and innovate?

Well Biden called Zelnskyy Putin on the world stage.

so true

Starting to think Luko to Port is looking more likely.

Dixon retiring this year, he'd be perfect for them - he gets to play in (and significantly improve) a contender.

He'd replace Marshall more than anyone, who also probably has to retire

You gave a fair bit away 1 time when you posting under that username

I think it took me about a minute to find you IRL

And then I promptly forgot

 

[jenny61_99]

They’re not?

There are pictures of us in the same room.

 

[King Elvis]

Essendons the sort of club that needs a boss who creates divisions. Brad Scott is doing the same now.

Brad Scott is a crap coach.

The PR job the Roos(/Brayshaw) did when they sacked him and blamed themselves for him being under-resourced etc and convinced everyone he wasn't a bad coach was impressive, but rubbish.

Nothing wrong with velvet suits! .

Sounds like he is saying - no senior assistant. The director becomes in charge, allegedly we interviewed someone in Melbourne and they speculate someone still involved in finals

When you spend 23 hours a day on an internet forum, a lot is possible.

What’s your sixth sense say about cumming and luko? Crows bound ?
