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

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I guess I did once start a rumour that Kane Cornes suffers from micropenis.

Wait, that's just rumour?

 

[faible]

You’re assuming Clarkson would be allowed back.

If he’s done what’s alleged, he should be banned from the industry for life.

If what's been alleged has been proven, Clarkson is done forever.

There is no redemption from coercing a player to end his child's life, against his will. that is beyond the pale.

But that's the problem, until such a time as it's clear he can't come back, North have little choice but to stick with him. Meaning they can't go out and appoint an Yze type.

They'd have to have an experience head coach waiting in the wings who might be willing to be a 1 season caretaker while they go through a full process, or they go in to next season with Leigh Adams coaching again...

 

[faible]

No chance Brad Scott takes north they burned him, he wouldn’t leave his AFL gig for a 1 year rental job at the team that dismissed him.

I could see a scenario where the AFL agree to hold his role while he takes the reins at North for a season and they find a new coach.

Most North supporters would likely be happy with Scott back as a short-term measure given the results they've had since he left.

 

[tandino]

One thing that works in Brad's favour, he looks like a premiership coach.

 

[CBombers17]

Why would Scott take North for a season when he could take us for 2 and get paid for 5?

 

[faible]

Needs to grow his hair out first

Yeah they’re in a shit position through no fault of their own…

…which doesn’t make it any less funny.

 

[The Dustbin]

Appoint J.Selwood Captain-Coach. It worked for Dick.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yeah they’re in a s**t position through no fault of their own…

…which doesn’t make it any less funny.

Hird was punished for lack of due diligence on the employment background of Robinson and Dank despite them both having worked for AFL run club Gold Coast.

So, shouldn't North be punished for the same thing if Clarkson is proven guilty?

Spoiler

 

[footyfanatic111]

…which doesn’t make it any less funny.

If you followed the norf board at all in the lead up and after Clarkson chose them,
the amount of cheap shots and tacky comments made about our club and still continue to be made of a daily basis like there’s is a far superior club was astounding.

So when something like this happens,
and removing the actual allegations surrounding Clarkson which is absolutely horrifying aside.
Still gives me great laughs to know they are going to continue to be the basket case that is Norf for the next 10 years aswell.

Tom Browne running with Brad being Essendon coach lol. I’m praying!

But he’s also been wrong a lot lately aswell as Clarkson being $1.05 to the dons so let’s hope he hits one of his darts

 

[dank420_]

The quote is that Scott is going to "ramp up talks with Essendon". Calm down matey.

“My view that he will Essendon coach by end of the week” very much a blind dart hey

Sounds like opinion as opposed to a news report.

 

[citizen-erased]

The end of this week can’t come quick enough.

How is that different to any/most weeks?

 

[Runk]

“My view that he will Essendon coach by end of the week” very much a blind dart hey

Along with the fact that that actual timeframe has already been widely reported on yet none of it verified....

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Tom really is a try hard

i guess we arent getting brad scott then.

Will you use truth defence in court?

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

So we are appointing a coach this week according to reports, 5 days to go.

This so called in depth, detailed process that is going to pick a coach is now a rushed 5 day thing to get the post GF people to apply.

You can't make this shit up.

Well you can make this shit up. That's what journos are doing most of the time based on little info. They just don't put as much mayo on it as you.

Some do

 

[Petrify]

Would love Brad as our coach. Think he's easily the best candidate for what we need.

Do you think they took Yze and other applicants to a two week resort?

 

[MiguelM]

Surprised Cara applied so late (if we go by the media)
