Will that cover the cost of roof repairs to his Toorak abode?

I hear there’s plenty of money in Colombian “chocolates”…

Nothing to sniff at I suppose.



Pardon me while I powder my nose.

Looks like Jimmy Hird will be sticking to selling his choccies out of the back of the family car

haha yeah because thats what he does

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Yep, a man's got to pay a $30,000 plumbing bill somehow.

 

[shinboner magic]

It's also worth pointing out that Joel has won more finals in the past week than * have won in the past 18 years.

Selwood debuted 3 yrs after * last finals win to put that into context

Bombers to announce Brad Scott as new coach​

Essendon is tonight expected to announce AFL operations boss Brad Scott as its new coach. Mark Robinson has the exclusive details.

[Val Keating]

LOL. PUT OUT YOUR SNAKE OIL

 

[giantroo]

Sucking up now

 

[Cyber_punk]

Good luck to Brad he's gonna need it dealing with those personalities. Will be constantly checking for knives in his back.

He'll make them competitive, but he'll also keep a lot of duds and list cloggers longer than they need to be.

 

[tales129]

Hahahahahahah **** the fraud is back!

Can’t wait for his players to give a 50m for dissent or never fly the flag. Well done Bard!!

 

[outwecome2play]

Imagine if we appointed a coach as quick as that.

 

[Devington]

I never thought this day would come.

I am overjoyed.

 

[The Warlord]

Povvo little cousins strutting around in our hand me downs lolol

 

[AnEmptyChair]

this is very funny

cant wait for all the 'he took a shit team to prelim finals' takes now when, if anything, we massively underperformed in the H&A seasons in those years which meant we had to do the finals the hard way

 

[Tas]

I think he will do a good job.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

I think he will do a good job.

just as he was here, he'll be perfectly adequate for a team that needs stability and a bit of relevancy with a figurehead who is mature and can navigate the media

might even win a final, but that's about the ceiling

 

[tazaa]

We’ll never lose to them again

Perhaps I am being overly romantic, but coming out of the Laidley years, the way we played footy in 2011/12 was exciting, we didn't have the cattle and we had a lot of players that didn't have the tank to run both ways, but we tore teams apart on the rebound.

 

[bennymate]

I never thought this day would come.

I am overjoyed.

I am celebrating tonight!

Cheers to another era of mediocrity for that shit club

 

[SpiderBurton22]

I can hear the sounds of hundreds of * bigfooty posters quickly deleting historical posts about Scotts.

want to do now?

If he's gettable (I don't know if he is), Sonja throws the kitchen sink at Yze as an assistant. Highly regarded assistant (4 flags), good working relationship with Clarko, and if worst comes to worst and Clarko's start is delayed (I not sure it will be), Yze can coach us for a bit.

[Ligma]

Can’t wait to see him get angry at the umpiring standard that he created!!!

Time to get the marshmallows out

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Decided on a draft assistance package whilst in conversations to coach an opposing club.

You can’t make this shit up.
