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

 

[BomberManU]

Any clues on what's next, in the 'process'? Quiet week, due to the GF?

 

[The Donners]

Any clues on what's next, in the 'process'? Quiet week, due to the GF?

Yze will pull out of his second presentation due to COVID and Hird will be the last man standing.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yze will pull out of his second presentation due to COVID and Hird will be the last man standing.

The advertising on this site was sure sitting on the fence about this....

 

[DonsRule]

Yze will pull out of his second presentation due to COVID and Hird will be the last man standing.

He will find out he is ineligible when the panel asks if he has ever played for Essendon before.

 

[jmoo wan]

Yze will pull out of his second presentation due to COVID and Hird will be the last man standing.

this is so far within the realms of possibility that he will Bradbury it.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

I’ve been firmly against bringing Hird back. But there is part of me that wonders if he could have been a great coach, and it would be great that if in some Parallel universe he got the job.

But then it occurred to me, what if this is the parallel universe? It’s certainly beginning to feel like a parallel universe.

after 20 years of waiting i'm not sure we should base our next decision on what should/could have been.

If we dont get some success soon this clubs going to blow up.

they just next to pick the best bloke for the job based on his CV and go from there.

 

[BrunoV]

this is so far within the realms of possibility that he will Bradbury it.

You don't mess around with what the Universe is trying to tell you.

 

[boncer34]

Market removed from Sportsbet

 

[TheGrizz]

Market removed from Sportsbet

Decision imminent ya reckon?

 

[jmoo wan]

Decision imminent ya reckon?

the fix is in more likely?

 

[BrunoV]

the fix is in more likely?

Trust the bookies.

 

[madrigal]

Decision imminent ya reckon?

Notice that Brad Scott is interviewing.

 

[dank420_]

Caro on the money yet again.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

the fix is in more likely?

Yep, it was always fixed.

Not fair to others that a name is all it takes to screw over process.

I feel sorry for the other applicants, Lade, Solomon and Hird that golden boy Yze was arrogant enough to apply. They never stood a chance.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Max Weber

well, safe to say that one's not on the BF bingo board

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Notice that Brad Scott is interviewing.

Source?

Seriously hope so.

 

[madrigal]

Source?

Seriously hope so.

Just speculation.

 

[dank420_]

Just speculation.

Wait, so you speculated that you noticed?

 

[Eleven 38]

The betting market has been on and off, they've probably had a big bet and are checking it out or something.

 

[madrigal]

Wait, so you speculated that you noticed?

Speculation that somebody has noticed.

 

[madrigal]

Don Pyke has overtaken James Hird for second favourite $3.50 @ Ladbrokes

 

[fairbump_playon]

We need an advent calendar for this.

With each day the face of different coterie powerbroker

 

[fairbump_playon]

Any clues on what's next, in the 'process'? Quiet week, due to the GF?

Are you serious?

We will announce Hird 10am Saturday morning so the mighty Bombers dominate the pre and post GF media discourse.

[Beerfish]

I can't believe I'm saying this.. maybe jet lag and possibly the early stages of Dengue fever but I'm kind of warming to the idea of Scott.

 

[foj1]

I can't believe I'm saying this.. maybe jet lag and possibly the early stages of Dengue fever but I'm kind of warming to the idea of Scott.

Me too
with pyke, Clarkson and Lyon out I reckon he is best positioned to sort out the club
he is a hard a## if nothing else which we need more than anything
