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

 

[ant555]

I think that photo of Dodoro and Yze watching the U18's is pretty telling.

Why would they be watching the next crop of possible recruits together if the job wasn't already his ?

Would Dodoro have done this with all the other applicants ?

Where they there ?

 

[jmoo wan]

I was worried about Hird’s mental health problems if he became the senior coach, and i’m now stressing about his mental health if he doesn’t become senior coach.

****.

probably just talking about the Wog Boy movie reboot.

 

[cobra land]

probably just talking about the Wog Boy movie reboot.

Or whose career can we ruin ?

 

[jmoo wan]

nah man - we’re just having a bit of fun here - keep it light!

 

[cobra land]

nah man - we’re just having a bit of fun here - keep it light!

Yes, it was tongue in cheek should have put one of these

 

[Mr Bultitude]

probably just talking about the Wog Boy movie reboot.

Yze the Yugoslav

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Don Pyke texting Mahoney at 3QT - "Hey u up?"

 

[ghostdog]

Don Pyke texting Mahoney at 3QT - "Hey u up?"

"You used to call me on my cellphone, late at night when you neeeed myyy luv."

 

[Highly Evolved]

How does this not apply to other coaches?

I just think Hird will always linger there as a phantom Messiah. I can't see that changing if we hire Yze, Scott or anyone else. The club's problems are far bigger than the coach selection - it's cultural.

 

[jmoo wan]

well thank **** the GF is over and we can get back to getting our coach sorted.

so tomorrow everyone who wants in will officially be in then.

 

[naraku]

Wonder if Brad's juices are flowing watching Chris raise that cup ?

Really hoping he or is people is giving Josh a call.

They already have

 

[naraku]

They already have

Then I look forward to Brad leading us to take down Chris' empire in 3 years

Brad is the poor mans Chris.

 

[Dave]

Ego.

Some people just love coaching.

 

[dank420_]

Brad is the poor mans Chris.

One got handed a far better list.

 

[naraku]

Brad is the poor mans Chris.

He is, but come on Brad could help unlock us.

 

[ant555]

One got handed a far better list.

One has just won another flag.

 

[ant555]

He is, but come on Brad could help unlock us.

And play favorites and never drop "his" blokes.

 

[dank420_]

One has just won another flag.

All I’m saying is you could have swapped them at the beginning and no one would have noticed. But yeah thanks for another ITK gem.

 

[jmoo wan]

is there another Scott sibling that’s even better than Brad and Scott we should be looking at?

like a Stephen Baldwin type scenario?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

The coterie groups have too much power and I just feel Hird is a stabilising move.

This would be like the Byzantine Empire seeing the Fourth Crusade as a stabilising move.

 

[ghostdog]

Brad is the poor mans Chris.

If he gets the gig, you should tell him you heard someone say that, just to fire him up.

 

[ghostdog]

Scott Scott?
