As opposed to abusing your fans by chasing every Carlton hasbeen and trading for Richie Cole.
Your club has taken Essendon's duds, so don't act like it's a one-way street.
Didn't Carlton hit the front against Port in one of those games?
Irrelevant, you still didn't win.
Maybe you should read Ratten's excellent columns in Inside Football and think before you post nonsense like that.
So because he writes some 'excellent' columns, it qualifies him as a superior coach?
A coaching panel made up of Ratten, Riley, Bradley, Crosisca, McCartney(development coach) and Montgomery beats Knights and Prescott hands down.
You're guessing.
What will Knights bring to Essendon when he was sacked as coach by a SANFL team
I'll wait for him to coach a game for us before I judge his coaching abilities.
didn't meet Essendon's criteria for appointing a coach?
You wouldn't look to the logical explanation of his impressive presentations as a reason why those standards became irrelevant, would you?
Ratten was a vital part of one of the most successfull sides in history
Tim Watson was a vital part to our premierships in 84/85, didn't make him a good coach, did it?
and played and/or worked under Parkin, Brittain, Pagan and Neale Daniher.
Three of those coaches didn't have the most successful coaching career.
I think Brett knows more than the coach of Bendigo who hasn't even coached a flag or had his side dominate in the VFL.
You think, you don't know at all.
Greg Swann and Pratt aren't fools like Ray Horsburgh and wouldn't appoint him if he wasn't up to scratch.
Did they even go through a process?
Knights compared his list of young defenders to Geelong's.
No he didn't.
Barry Mitchell arguably has a better resume than Knights.
Ok?
We thought about replacing a premiership coach in Pagan with our VFL coach.
Good for you.
Essendon went ahead and did it.
Because he was the best candidate.
