When he got the job I said he would blow the joint up so he gets the rebuild contract as well. Looks like that's still the plan.

Said it before, but Bard is the worst appointment a club stuck in long term mediocrity could make.

B.Scott wasn’t our worst by some margin, given the 2 coaching appointments that followed.
But I’ve never been in the blame Bard for everything group.

Are those quotes from one of his 2012 pre season press conferences?
I like how you still called him Bard while defending him
Shaw and Noble were no doubt much worse.
But that doesn’t get away from Brad being mediocre and the worst long term coach on exposed form to lead them to any success.
That was to appease the haters.I like how you still called him Bard while defending him
Anyways, I don’t venture onto other team boards, have the * turned on him yet?
No idea. It can’t be far off though if it hasn’t happened yet.

Maybe not relevant, but just a little more kero on the fire... Full HUN article paywalled:
Doctor linked to Essendon drugs saga banned from medical practice
A doctor linked to the Essendon supplements saga — and who treated underworld figure Toby Mitchell after one of his shootings — has been banned from practising by the nation’s health watchdog.
FFS. Robbo just retired on what could possibly be the eve of the resurgence of the essendon drug scandal (if ony there was a half decent / uncompromised journalist willing to put in the effort to join all of the dots)...
...I guess we will never know what the players took.
And nor will they.
They know what they took..
Not all of them (the younger ones at least).

I assume the supplement saga is the main reason, Dustin Fletcher isn't in the hall of fame yet?
Wouldn’t have thought so? He should be in there

Even though he's the worst 400 game player of all time, still a massive achievement to play that many. And he was a very good player at his peak, BnF in the 2000 premiership side.
