Opinion Thompson SENIOR COACH, Goodwin SENIOR ASSISTANT, Bassett ASSISTANT, Craig Head of Development

Probably gonna be Harvey then he can take over the midfield or forward assistant coach depending if Goodwin goes to Brisbane

 

[yaco55]

Allegedly Bomber and Harvey don't have a working relationship.

Our friend Barrett said that we were also looking at Leigh Tudor.

Yes please.

 

[Burzum]

Our friend Barrett said that we were also looking at Leigh Tudor.

So we're probably not then.

I can't say I blame him - job security is very important and he has the ability to be a fantastic coach.

Fits into the "Well, derr" category.

Simpson has better credentials though, surely...?

In terms of us soliciting from the outside, with the exception of Harvey who I could see taking the short-term gig, who we get is always going to depend on the BL and WC gigs, as well as whoever is selected as Roos' Heir Apparent. The EFC job is an unorthodox semi-appealing gig.

Goodwin did analysis/special comments on SEN friday night as well as being on Hamish's panel on 7 Sunday morning doing a lot of the same stuff. His management are certainly working overtime getting his PR up.

Wellman gone

Well there goes that option. Red for whoever suggested him to begin with..

Wellman gone

Unity within the playing group might mean jack shit if we don't have anyone to coach them.

Hird - Gone
Wellman - Gone
Thompson - Doesn't want the head role
Goodwin - Looking at senior coaching opportunities elsewhere

MATTHEW EGAN, COME ON DOWN

[DonsRule]

Fog also seem to think Egan is gone too, **possible** that Harves and Llyod to replace them

 

[daffo]

We should get Dustin Martin to coach us next year. He is looking for a new role somewhere.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Gimme Harvey, Tudor, Skunk, Lloyd, Thompson. That would do quite nicely.

 

[Howard Moon]

If Harvey came, would we be more likely or less likley to poach one of the want away bris players?

Selection panel announced

Essendon Football Club wishes to advise the selection panel to appoint the Club’s interim senior coach for the 2014 season has been confirmed.

The panel comprises football director Chris Heffernan, interim CEO Ray Gunston, AFL Coaches Association CEO Danny Frawley (non voting), former Richmond and Western Bulldogs coach Terry Wallace and Human Resources Manager Hailey Grimes.

Interim CEO Ray Gunston said the panel met for the first time over the weekend to discuss the recruitment process.

“The selection panel has met and set the framework for the upcoming recruitment process,” Gunston said.

“The Club is confident the advisory panel has the experience and skills set required to select the best possible candidate for the job.”

“The process will be comprehensive and is expected to be completed in the next 3-4 weeks.”

Gunston said the interim coaching role was an extremely important appointment for the Club.

“We appreciate the appointment of an interim senior coach is a unique position for the Club and for the candidates to be in,” Gunston said.

“Importantly, the role has been designed to fit into a longer term structure of the football department and will incorporate a future position within our coaching group.”

The panel will now begin the rigorous process of interviewing a number of quality applicants for the position.

“In recent years the Club has undergone a significant period of growth and improvement on the field and our expectations for 2014 will be no different under an interim coach,” Gunston said

“We have a talented and united playing group who have shown they have the ability to compete with the best teams in the competition.”

Out of respect to the interview process and privacy of the candidates involved, the Club will not be in a position to make any further comment.

The club will communicate any developments as required.

Skipworth is my sleeper, knows the gameplan inside and out, could easily had off the VFL to James Byrne for a year.

I like that we've got a HR person on the panel, clearly we've learned our lesson

Wellman is a big loss. But all the best Sean.

So if Bomber and Goodwin leave what do we rename 'the royal box' to?

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Danny Frawley and Terry Wallace? Seriously?
