The one player who was dropped for not playing for the team?
I'm a bit worried with 'senior players' requesting a coach - as they already have blood on their hands the way they treated Truck with distain and not following his instruction. Not responding to him on the bench. Not giving a damn.It's also possible that there is a group of senior players that would like a hard taskmaster as coach to force the lazy players to start playing for the team. Shiel for example strikes me as someone that would want others around him to put in as much as he does, and I could see Merrett being the same.
I'm more of a fan of remembering when his wife called up talk back radio to plead for Essendon people to take it easy on her husband.Just on board chat, wasn't aware that Ray Horsburgh died a few weeks ago.
Will always remember the vision of him walking down Napier Street holding his files the evening Sheedy got sacked.
The lazy pricks said the same thing after Worsfold - that they wanted clear direction from Rutten.Yeah it's a bit puzzling that the source of much of our angst, the senior playing corp, are the ones that now appear to want some tough love. I guess the penny has dropped?

12 months later they’d stopped defending, so you’ll excuse me if I ask them to have absolutely no say in who the next coach is.
Why the players feel they should have any input is beyond me
Why are we the only side where players feel they should be picking the coach
Leave the job to those with the experience in the role and that have been picked for the job based on their experience. Ie cobblers cobble.
The issue now is, you pick the coach based on what the players want. Who dont have the experience or knowledge and bypasses the 'process'
Or you do the process thus not taking into account what the players want and they sook it up because they didnt get what they wanted

Let them sit out the process like the rest of us, as we investigate the best out there. After interviews, Lyon might be found out to be not the cure all people were expecting with another option being best suited.
The players inaction with the last coach should be the last say they have in any of the matter.
I assume 'playing group' isn't a homogenous lifeform. It likely means 'some within the playing group' want a coach who'll drive standards and discipline. I can imagine that being a guy like Merrett, not a guy like Parish.
I don't remember which thread it was that we were talking about fan engagement and the club not being particularly strong in that area...
Well I just went down a Twitter rabbit hole, Fermanagh is Jo Doonan's Gaelic footy club when she's not playing AFLW, and they shared this:
Would actually be really good to have a little booklet with all the players faces and bios like this, especially if they want to collect signatures. Get a new book every year, make more opportunities for kids to meet the players and try to collect all the autographs...
Good times.I'm more of a fan of remembering when his wife called up talk back radio to plead for Essendon people to take it easy on her husband.
If you didn’t listen to Kane Cornes you’d never even know they were going on a trip together. I’ve hardly heard a thing about it except in this thread… and I consume a lot of footy media.No idea what the fuss is with thr Ibiza trip. I'm glad the lads get along so well. They're a team, when you're friends you want to fight for each other. You often see 4-5 lads going to America or Europe together. There's not much evidence of exclusion going on.
Kane Cornes lives to create the cheap likes and outrage lines. It’s his sole point as a person in the media.No idea what the fuss is with thr Ibiza trip. I'm glad the lads get along so well.

With respect, bullshit it does.The issue is the timing of the trip, if it was taken in October then it would make sense but to time it for the end of August smacks of not being serious about their footy.
he is just "the vegan teacher" of the AFL sports media landscape..Kane Cornes lives to create the cheap likes and outrage lines. It’s his sole point as a person in the media.

Who goes to Ibiza? Just go to St Kilda Beach. Drink enough you'll think you're in Ibiza.I agree with Kane Cornes or Chad or whoever, 35 of them going away together to Ibiza is ridiculous.
they’re not all going to fit on the Venga Bus, which I assume is his issue? i don’t read his stuff.
oh gosh no! steer well clear of St Kilda, in fact a good rule to remember is that nothing good ever happens south of the YarraWho goes to Ibiza? Just go to St Kilda Beach. Drink enough you'll think you're in Ibiza.
