appointed as assistant coach at the Western Bulldogs, out of the running for Essendon job
28/9 Brad Scott to be interviewed on Thursday
29/9

 

[Doss]

Almost spat out my coffee.

Ah but you didn’t. You kept it sloshing around in your gob. Kept your lips sealed.

That’s leadership.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Ah but you didn’t. You kept it sloshing around in your gob. Kept your lips sealed.

That’s leadership.

You're right. I might apply for the vacant CEO position.

 

[Dave]

Hearing a members survey has gone out to EFC members.

Good luck with ripping them a new one and don't forget to use all the swear words

You mean like "process", "professional" and "modern"?

 

[jmoo wan]

This last survey question will be a bit of fun:

In 25 words or less, tell us what moment in our 150th year was the most memorable for you?

 

[JT_the_Man]

This last survey question will be a bit of fun:

In 25 words or less, tell us what moment in our 150th year was the most memorable for you?

"When it ended."

 

[mike14]

This last survey question will be a bit of fun:

In 25 words or less, tell us what moment in our 150th year was the most memorable for you?

"Firing the coach at the 11th hour just to miss out on the expected successor due to hubris and mismanagement."

I'm going to remember that for a long time...

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

[Shanghaistu]

This last survey question will be a bit of fun:

In 25 words or less, tell us what moment in our 150th year was the most memorable for you?

Honestly what is the club going to do with 85,000 responses to this question? Sift through the dialog to plan for our 200th year celebration?

 

[Eleven 38]

That was totally mine too..

 

[Shanghaistu]

"Firing the coach at the 11th hour just to miss out on the expected successor due to hubris and mismanagement."

I'm going to remember that for a long time...

Perfect, and only 20 words - you could even add something like ‘board spill and ensuing chaos’ with the remaining 5 words to round it out

 

[BrunoV]

This last survey question will be a bit of fun:

Sheedy telling Clarkson to go to North.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

OR

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

This last survey question will be a bit of fun:

In 25 words or less, tell us what moment in our 150th year was the most memorable for you?

I guess I could just give an honest answer:

"My trip to Europe".

 

[jmoo wan]

everyone loves a word-cloud!!

 

[faible]

Is this how it works?

 

[jcmelb]

Sorry for sounding dumb but is the four that were interviewed the other day, Hird, Soloman, Yze and Lade (was it?) the only contenders standing? Or is another round with more candidates senior or otherwise?

 

[Lore]

VFLW premiership.

 

[Lore]

There are more. We don't know who they are. If they're planning to unveil a coach next week they're running out of time for more rounds.

 

[windyhill]

I’ll go when Zach said “ hird ? **** that”

 

[Lore]

Is this how it works?

Some of the questions were odd, like the goodness of fit and likeability of the sponsors, and several questions about the administration of the club too. I swear those weren't there before.

Normally it's just like 'what sponsors can you remember' 'have you ever bought an air conditioner' 'do you shop at A-mart'.

Like hmmm, is NEC likeable? How the heck should I answer that? What's there to like or dislike?

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Are you sure? The are rumours we've ask Scott and Pyke to apply and they haven't said no but nothing else I've seen.

 

[The Donners]

Trying to find the right 5 words to this question is quite tough:
When you think of the Essendon Football Club, what words come to mind? (please list as many as five words as they come to mind)

EFC ****ing campaigners shit dicks

"The effort put in by the players" seems like a very specific question.

They should have greyed out everything above a 4 for that one.

 

[Doss]

They gotta be trollin’ with some of those questions.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I just realised it's for my chance to win my membership free next year.

So I lose even if I win.
