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

 

[The Donners]

It's a hypothetical.

Would you rather get kicked in the balls by Megan Fox or kissed on the mouth by Donald Trump?

These hypothetical games are common amongst other far fetched hypothetical questions posed on this forum without people having an issue answering them.

Pucker up Trump!

 

[ghostdog]

The disagree emoji shouldn’t be red lol. Sometimes I want to disagree with a post without writing anything and without it looking negative/aggressive with the red thumbs down.

And the agree thumb should be green.
Lift mods.

 

[Lore]

Actually, say what?

If Sheedy made an equally substantive presentation, would you hire him, Yze or Hird?

 

[dank420_]

I'm sorry but I'm running short of patience on this, it is completely non-sensical.

It's just two opinions. Although I do realise speaking to Gerard takes less effort than typing.

 

[BrunoV]

Would you hire Sheedy if he put his hand up?

Would I hire guy who stopped being relevant 20 years ago? A guy who derided the modern tactical innovations as 'basketball crap' as his team collapsed into a bottom 8 team with no midfield?

Next.

Next.

Would you consider Sheedy if he had done basketball crap as a successful assistant at another team for the last few years, and then put his hand up?

 

[BrunoV]

If Sheedy made an equally substantive presentation, would you hire him, Yze or Hird?

I misread what you posted but have since responded.

How old is Sheedy now? 74.

I can exclude that on age alone.

Okay, make him 60 then.

 

[BrunoV]

Surely a better question is would I hire Don Pyke.

 

[dank420_]

[Lore]

Don Pyke isn't an Essendon person with the kind of gravitas that might make the club whole again, so it's not a good analogy.

Scott please, Hird clearly popping pills.

 

[Lore]

Seems there's a few more people who might be interested

 

[Bunk Moreland]

* it, lets just bring back Hird. Is it the best call? Probably not. Will it be incredibly entertaining to watch unfold? *en oath it will be.

I’m not as enthusiastic but I am very much indifferent to whether it happens or it doesn’t.

At this point my relationship with EFC is little more than a viewer of a circus / soap opera. I don’t expect or need success and I don’t have the slightest expectation that we’ll have it. Part of that is me, part of it is the club. I know they’re not capable of it.

So if this happens, meh, I’ll just keep watching.

 

[citizen-erased]

Rob Harvey is interesting
Would think he'd have the experience now.

Collingwood system has both produced longmuir and had mcrae step in and go from 17th to a prelim, and he spent a good part of his coaching career there. Also spent 2 years working with Lyon during the saints best years in decades.

Has done the head coach thing as caretaker including half a season with the pies last year.

 

[sidlydon]

Bring back Hird . Everyone will hate you and that will Unite the club/supporters. Stuff everyone else !

 

[jmoo wan]

Let's get the whole band back together!!!

 

[BomberFan355]

Bring back Hird . Everyone will hate you and that will Unite the club/supporters. Stuff everyone else !

They don’t hate us now?

Nice. I’ve mentioned Johnson recently as an Assistant Coach to look at. By reports he’s very clever tactically and loves coaching in general.

“Steve had been considering a move back to Melbourne for some time, which he’s now pursuing and so we wish Steve, Erin, Archie, Maggie and Annie all the best for the future.”

 

[DERO]

Happy to see you've forgiven Corcoran. We have a vacant CEO role, we should give him a call.

He is a Brighton Real Estate agent these days which should tell you all you need to know.

Rutten->Yze/Harvey
Cara -> SJ (forwards)
Gia (mids)
Tudor -> Choco (development)
Tapping (Stoppages)
Stanton -> Roberts (VFL)
Roberts -> Betts (development)
& hire a defence coach

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

To be honest, I don't really have an opinion on our next coach. I don't even have an opinion on the selection committee or the process. Basically I don't know enough of the details. However, I will wholeheartedly support whoever is selected as coach and the people who make that decision.
IF PEOPLE FAIL TO DO LIKEWISE WE ARE DESTINED TO FAIL AGAIN.
Sorry for yelling.

 

[Vander18]

Sheedy has no gravitas either these days….he’s Mr Magoo.

 

[bombadeer]

We're going to get the second coming in under 7 years? Even the Christians are going to hate us.
