It has been the Essingtonest of weeks.

Don't be fooled into thinking Clarkson was only here on a personal note. Remember what he did to our club last time.

What's the bet that "Silk" has a new job come Monday.

Lol channel 7 literally trolling essendon fans

[Enviable Tradition]

Smallest club in the league, back to back wooden spoons, constant threat of relocation.

Yet still more attractive than super rich Essendon.

That place must be awful.

I could actually imagine Essendon considering James Hird. But the redemption arc!

 

[Uncle Neighbour]

Nah there has to be more behind the scenes. As i said in post above, the afl has obviously made guarantees to clarko.

Step 1: engage Clarkson to investigate a Tasmanian team and unofficially anoint him as coach in waiting for Tasmanian team. Check.
Step 2: get media talking heads to propose relocation of Norf to Tasmania while still maintaining their Melb presence. Check.
Step 3: encourage Norf to sack incumbent coach and embark on enticing Clarkson with cash/pick incentives provided. Check.
Step 4: relocate Norf to Tassie within 5 years while Clarkson is still coach.
Step 5: enjoy the accolades of having a Tasmanian presence while still keeping the Victorian block alive.

Clarko not starting until nov 1! Bit strange- might want a bit more time on the banana chair.

Or just complete his full payout from the Hawthorn contract which expires October 31

And Noble is probably still a N0rf employee until 31 October.

Hinkley can lend him his deck chair and throw in a free blind for his patio.

Essendon need the kind of stability and calmness that a coach like Ken could bring?

As it stands now it's unlikely Ken would get a senior role at another AFL club.With a new generation of coaches coming through.It might change if Port have a good 2023.

Round 1, 2023: North Melbourne vs Hawthorn

Essendon.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Was listening to someone on the radio the other day talking about Essendon.

Super rich supporters basically run the show and have a huge amount of influence.

Sounds like a horrendous place.

Meanwhile - we’ve got happy days Ken and the mediocre clappers on the board leading us to celebrate ‘we aren’t as bad as we could be’

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

And here come the priority picks…..

 

[chiwigi]

And here come the priority picks…..

SURELY NOT!

Refusing to spend money for a few years and tank to spoons, then spunk it on a top coach is a TACTIC!

It shouldn't result in PP's.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I was joking guys!

You have one week to turn it around!
