Talk about a dysfunctional organisation…..

To keep everyone onside - the CEO has the coach, football manager and head of recruiting as direct reports because they can’t get along.

For all of everybody else's opinion, I think Bramble is the perfect sub.

Let's see what happens.

bunch of clowns

 

[peetoo]

Even Scott deserves better.

Laughable that Clarko would even entertain going there

You don't become the best by following everyone else.

But this doesn't seem to be especially functional.

Suggests the CEO is going to spend more time than is optimal refereeing, and less time CEOing? If your executives can't put their egos aside to get the job done, are they really executive calibre? What sort of message does that send the rest of the staff?

Sounds like Mahoney doesn’t really want to be there and Essendon are setting up a structure which covers him leaving if he gets the AFL gig.

 

[Dewnior]

Can’t see it when Bramble looks like he’s made it his spot.

I get the feeling Bramble fits Sam's 'run and gun' game better than Scrim

 

[Lawsy]

Yes, and Bramble, if made a sub, would be someone to stretch * between the arcs anytime he came on, much more than Scrim who, when on form, would be delivering to Bramble with a precision kick. Scrim just hasn't had the pre season I'd have hoped for nor the gut running capacity of Bramble.

On what planet does Dodo still have a job after 18 years of failure?

Planet Essendon.

Hilariously, they refuse to cut ties with 'favourite sons". Who are the very reason they continue to fail. A glorious loop of deluded arrogance.

Yes, quite right! Puts everyone in a bit of a spot if he misses out again and stays though

Both fit and unavailable I take Scrim comfortably.

When has Bramble made it his spot?! We haven’t played a game yet and he didn’t do it last season.

Intraclub, Cats and Pies games.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Bramble was hardly impressive in either of the practice matches.

Intraclub, Cats and Pies games.

That’s just being available. Not sure that’s making it his spot.

Scrim needs to tighten up his D and start launching attacks from D50

Scrim was available when Bramble was named in the probables.
The coaches then gave him a good wrap after his game.

 

[hawkman]

At some point throughout this game, MacKenzie, Day and MacDonald will all be in the centre bounce at the same time which will be exciting to see.

I think the forward-line will really struggle without Lewis. At the moment Koschitzke isn’t capable of being the number one target.

I doubt there will be a centre bounce without at least one of Worpel or Newcombe in there

 

[toomanysquibs]

Within weeks of getting the job, Scott’s football director Kevin Sheedy, who is still on the board, stated that he’d voted for James Hird..

Rust never sleeps too.

So asinine to be carrying a highly parochial mole onboard (literally), by choice no less

 

[toomanysquibs]

On what planet does Dodo still have a job after 18 years of failure?

A club that cemented it's feet and brain somewhere in the last few months of the year 2000'.

That great 'dynasty' era that they keep trying to build off

There is something about his kicking that looks off to me...

Went at 100% DE against Collingwood.

Nash needs to be in. Big fan of Nash being a regular in our midfield mix. Last year he really helped us in not getting bullied by the opposition in the middle. His size, competitiveness and tackling is really needed in amongst our young midfield group!

Who do you leave out for him though? You're right in that they're good traits for us, but the other are simply more skilled.
