For the most part I'd argue it's more like squatters that wont leave my house.We truly are living rent free in your head.

JHF clearly let being #1 go to his head. From what I read before he was drafted it was all about how level headed he was. Clearly not.

Essendon don't really think things through.

Think I read he did the external review and that's how he ended up getting the job

I really wanted Cadman at pick 1 but now you can pretty much lock in George Wardlaw. If somehow a miracle happens and Bowes wants to play for North I wonder whether we could package pick 7 up with pick 8 to move up to pick 2. Big ask I know as the Eagles need a key forward and that deal is debatable anyway.
Saw this in the Age.
Gold Coast Suns midfielder Jack Bowes will tour Essendon, Hawthorn and Geelong on Tuesday and then make a call on where he wants to play in 2023.
North Melbourne also had been interested in the Bowes deal, but the Sun has narrowed his choice to three clubs.
Bowes to tour Hawks, Cats and Bombers before making call on his future
Gold Coast Suns midfielder Jack Bowes is being sought by the three Victorian clubs, who are eager not only to secure the midfielders, but especially to land Gold Coast’s pick No.7, which is on offer due to the Suns wishing to lose Bowes’ hefty two-year contract.

You’d really fancy our chances if it’s between us, hawks & Essendon, guess we’ll see though.

I mean if you combine all 3 teams together you get a baby boomer. Old, racist and homophobic.

Is it true the new Essendon CEO was on the panel to try and find the next CEO?

No, he was the lead on the external review.

Even that's odd to me. Seems a pretty big conflict of interest.

I don't doubt that for a second as all of our young guys love playing for McRae. However, Henry was talked up as a huge chance to request a trade to Geelong before he was even drafted, and stories from people like you who know the family and have reported that he was a certainty to go home first chance, have also followed him from the moment he was drafted. I've always seen this as an inevitability, I just thought we'd get more than two years out of him.
I also don't doubt that it was a decision he struggled with, as he has always seemed genuine about how much he enjoyed it at Collingwood. I guess the lure of playing with his brother was too hard to pass up and I get that.
What I don't get is the McStay excuse. Henry lost his spot to Johnson and I don't see Johnson getting pushed out by McStay. Cox is the one who will make way for him in that forward/pinch hitting ruck role.

Suppose there’s no Catholics in charge of other clubs and businesses considering the Church’s stance on many things incl women, homosexuality, abortion etc

Even disregarding the Church thing, the fact he was publicly lashed (and ultimately resigned due to misconduct) in a royal commission should've been reason enough to not appoint him.
It's a really poor decision from the powers that be, again.

Not really the same thing is it?
