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

 

[justlookingaround]

Footy classified:

Caro says Hird won’t get the job and has been told to go do an apprenticeship.

Says Carra is about to get back from holiday and has decided to put his hat in the ring.

 

[justlookingaround]

Eddie McGuire looks alarmingly red and bloated

**** me, I might have to buy a membership if the club keeps doing basic, commonsense things like this

It's not alarming until it reaches Barnaby Joyce levels

Footy classified:

Hope she's right about both points.

I'm happy with Hird if he wins legitimately, but I also fear if he does it means our field isn't strong enough.

If he truly wants to coach, then not getting the position should simply be seen as a setback that can be remedied through working hard as an assistant.

[BratPack]

Caro says Hird won’t get the job and has been told to go do an apprenticeship.

Which as I said last night, given her form with us so far, makes me want to put the house on Hird getting the job.

[ghostdog]

Seems like yze a lock

Yze looks like he has got the job.

I think the most we can say is he looked happy when he left.

 

[Lore]

So Scott has been contacted by Barham apparently. So that’s in the mix now too (as compared to last night’s speculation).

 

[Koopa]

Eddie McGuire looks alarmingly red and bloated

On a scale of Millionaire Hot Seat Eddie to 2010 Brownlow Medal Eddie how red and bloated?

Fingers crossed the club takes the sensible path and doesn't choose Hird.

 

[LB#16]

Hird has been suspended then forced out of the game, harrassed to the point of self harm and that's a free pass?

I said a free pass with the fans. Obviously the media have been critical of him. Some of our fanbase seem to try their hardest to avoid harshly analysing him the way they make the effort to when it comes to Yze and other external contenders.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Out of Yze, Scott and Caracella who y’all want?

 

[Lore]

Glad I left Caracella in the poll now complete outside chance an hour ago

 

[foj1]

Thanks for sharing

 

[The Prosecutor]

Out of Yze, Scott and Caracella who y’all want?

The order you listed them.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Glad I left Caracella in the poll now complete outside chance an hour ago

Still is I'd say

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I said a free pass with the fans. Obviously the media have been critical of him. Some of our fanbase seem to try their hardest to avoid harshly analysing him the way they make the effort to when it comes to Yze and other external contenders.

Or perhaps some are prepared to consider he has been punished enough and are happy to give him another chance.

 

[Lore]

Still is I'd say

Yep, but probably more likely than Don Pyke, who is probably not even involved

 

[ant555]

Not sure Caracella is the way to go given he has had 2 seasons trying to sell his midfield / attack pan which had to be wound back as well.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Caro says Hird won’t get the job and has been told to go do an apprenticeship.

The worrying thing for Hird is that he should know that without being told by the club

 

[Lore]

I’m sure the trolls will turn up again soon enough, but for now we have relatively unspoiled poll results.

 

[Lore]

Not sure Caracella is the way to go given he has had 2 seasons trying to sell his midfield / attack pan which had to be wound back as well.

Depends if a game plan is supposed to be regarded as set and forget, or an iterative process that requires constant development and adjustment between and within seasons I guess.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Glad I left Caracella in the poll now complete outside chance an hour ago

Isn’t he too late / playing catch-up since the others already had the first round interviews last week?

 

[Lore]

Isn’t he too late / playing catch-up since the others already had the first round interviews last week?

Just got back from holidays apparently. It’s pretty much up to the panel I guess but yeah, if they’re already in love with Yze it’s a bit of a hard sell for Cara
