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

 

[Proper Gander]

what did Tim Watson do to be disgraced?

Open his mouth on channel 7

 

[Maddogm]

Are we there yet?

 

[jmoo wan]

Open his mouth on channel 7

you mean failed st kilda coach tim watson, not Essendon Legend Tim Watson?

 

[DapperDon]

All this cured meat talk reminded me of when I was young and drunk in Italy and kept arguing with the girl in the gelati shop why she wouldn't serve me a prosciutto scoop only for my mate to give me a shoulder tap and say "It's pistachio dickhead"

 

[Howard Moon]

i think you are mistaken, we arnt cured, we are just going thru a process

 

[frodos gardener]

Howard moon wishes to advise that he meant no harm in the alleged comment regarding Tim Watson and Jayne Bunn, it was an attempted joke using innuendo that plays with the nature of their positions on the channel 7 news report. If i have offended anybody, Pete Mitchell inclusive, i am sorry.

 

[Doss]

Not cured. Just cooked.

 

[Proper Gander]

you mean failed st kilda coach tim watson, not Essendon Legend Tim Watson?

Um. Yep. Yes.

 

[Squeaky]

I'd love to Bradbury a finals win. I wouldn't care if the opposition finished with 6 fit men on the field after half time and we only managed to win by a point thanks to a blatantly incorrect free given in the goalsquare with 1 second left on the clock.

6 6 6 infringement

 

[BrunoV]

Yep, I think it is rubbish that they won't apply because of Hird. We are talking an $800k plus payday and most coaches at that level have a pretty big ego that they would back against Hird.

Think it is more to do with many ex coaches in the window have landed cushy jobs and are not ready. Lyon has knocked back other opportunities anyway.

As for the highly accredited assistants, most are with teams in the top 4, getting good coin with a chance at staying with a premiership contender.

Too afraid to give away their IP



Hahaha haha....hahahah....

 

[Howard Moon]

Too afraid to give away their IP



Hahaha haha....hahahah....

Imagine the IP Rutten has stolen from us to use at Richmond...

Presents new findings to the Richmond panel

 

[Maxabillions]

‘Nduja

 

[fairbump_playon]

i’ve already set one up for you - you are very popular with the over 60 women. some of the DMs you get would make your toes curl.

So it’s you who has been answering all my personal messages to Ant?

 

[HirdsTheWord]

All this cured meat talk reminded me of when I was young and drunk in Italy and kept arguing with the girl in the gelati shop why she wouldn't serve me a prosciutto scoop only for my mate to give me a shoulder tap and say "It's pistachio dickhead"

give this man the scales.

cracking post.

 

[Petrify]

Do we have any idea when the process is meant to end and we'll hear who our coach is? Haven't been in the loop the past week

 

[84859300]

 

[yodellinhank]

Rutten didn't seem to know what was going on at Essendon. Clueless when asked. He's sure we'll turn it around though.

 

[faible]

Solomon
Yze
Lade
Hird
Giansiracusa

Have all interviewed.

Not Caracella
Not Pyke

Scott TBC but Watson saying he 'may at some point be interviewed' so not entirely out of the question.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

great hearing updates from SEN instead of the d'heads running the club.

updates to members has been rubbish.

 

[ghostdog]

He's going to play forever now!?

 

[ghostdog]

This is the preserved meats thread now. Pastrami by the way.

Hungarian salami

 

[ghostdog]

It was peak in primary school. Nothing wrong with it but there's a whole world out there. Stras is like the water of cured meats.

Devon was primary school, with tomato sauce.

In Queensland you can purchase deep fried kabana with salt at corner shops. Beautiful. I've never seen one in NSW, which is weird.

 

[Howard Moon]

Rutten didn't seem to know what was going on at Essendon. Clueless when asked. He's sure we'll turn it around though.

Why would he know what was going on? He's just the head coach, like why would a head coach know his players were participating in a comprehensive experimental supplement regime? That's way out of his remit. Com.part.ment.il.is.a.tion. A 7 syllable excuse .

 

[The Donners]

I don’t think it’s all that weird… battered sav all the way!

 

[windyhill]

Chief manipulator in all things Essendon, Tim Watson announces “ hird is keen to return” Well FMD, that is award winning radio, in other news water is wet.
