They are Jacks comments from AFL360, after he was asked for his opinion by Robbo.

Seems like he spends more time in the studio than he does at the club

Probably spends as much time on there as any other player and coach.

That’s why they have Players Night and Coaches Night.

Nah I swear he's appeared on 360 significantly more than any other player the past few years. Granted Richmond were winning premierships.

What ever gets him paid.

Essendon CEO quit this morning, and Madden walked from the board. So in under 2 weeks they have lost president, ceo, head coach, board member ... impressive

Essendon imploding before our eyes and carlton missing the 8 altogether - how lucky are we as supporters?

Finalists for the last 4 years and so many on this forum unhappy with our coach and team...life can be bizarre at times.

The only thing that could make it any sweeter is if they believe Hird is the answer.

Or Bomber Thompson.

 

[briztoon]

What’s happening at Essendon needed to happen.

For all of the media pile on, on Rutten, it was clear he had lost the playing group, and had to go.

However Essendon handled that very, very poorly.

They also need to sort their sh!t out off field, before things improve on field.

At least the new coach and administration don’t have to rebuild the playing group. They already have most of the talent there, they are just young.

 

[Nuggo]

Ha, Bomber and Hird getting the band back together.

We cannot really be throwing stones after we threw Voss out as we thought Paul Roos might be available.

I’m still going to throw stones.

And potentially there captain in Heppel goes to Suns.

That was Angus Johnson special.
I'd throw stones at Angus Johnson even today.

even more impressive, Finance Director Peter Allen leaving at the next AGM in December and Football Director Sean Wellman leaving as soon as a replacement is found. There are clean outs and then there is a whole new direction

Noble a consideration for CEO? Out of the frypan into the fire.

 

[McIvor]

Possibly - Mark Robinson either said Essendon will be speaking to Greg Swan or that they should for there vacant CEO role - kid talking but perhaps paves the way for Noble if he is that way inclined.

If Swanny leaves, Noble can come back here as CEO.

pinpoints the Essendon loss they had this season as a catalyst for launching the form that got them into the top 4.

Does anyone get the feeling that when we've had bad losses that as a club we haven't taken it personally enough? As we occasionally get a one week response but we rarely get a sustained lift of intensity that lasts several weeks following a loss.

Yes, there is no doubt that our intensity has been very spasmodic, both during game and over the course of the season.

I don't think we are going to be able to just flick the switch and turn it on all of a sudden for 4 quarters in a big final unfortunately.

Mulligan comes to mind after the first Demons loss
Even after last week it was we won most of the stats

I'm still waiting for a response like the response we had after the Carlton loss in 2019. We went on a 9 game winning streak when we returned after the bye. We destroyed the Saints by 10 goals at Marvel the same venue we had that embarrassing loss 2 weeks before.

I think a few players carrying injuries.
A 50-70% fit X player vs a guy in VFL prob comes up.
