I love the sheer hypocrisy of the bloke. Apparently 3 times he was reappointed as coach by 1 vote. 3 times! I don’t remember hearing about that once. Only read about it recently. Did he demand that the split vote be reported each time?? That would be a HARD NO.Said it before and I'll say it again. ... the most selfish person in football.....!
I'm so glad he never came back to coach our great club.... and that's coming from someone who proudly wore No10 on me duffle coat as a kid!
Surely he’s no miscreant whatsoever?Mark Robinson surely can not show his face again based on that article. He’s clearly earning something from the Hirds or the coteries to write this crap
Won the same amount of Premierships tooIt's a good get, I reckon.
Outside of Ross Lyon he is clearly the best experienced coach.
Surely he’s no miscreant whatsoever?
Rather, just another old Bomber who loves his club the way it was thirty years ago.
An altruistic traditionalist living in the past but whose present is senility.
Footy will be a better place when that pig dosent show his face anywhereMark Robinson surely can not show his face again based on that article. He’s clearly earning something from the Hirds or the coteries to write this crap
I’d actually like him to get them back into finals. It makes it much more amusing when they lose and then everyone jumps back into them for the next season, then they invariably fall apart again and commence to fighting each other again. Long may it continue.Gee lot of pressure on Scott for instant success - having sheedy over him and Matty Lloyd has said Scott can get Essendon straight back in finals next year is a lot of expectation.
rumoured he has been offered $900k a year would make him one of the highest paid coaches in the league
Tom Browne just said Scott comes to Essendon with a great coaching CV.Gee lot of pressure on Scott for instant success - having sheedy over him and Matty Lloyd has said Scott can get Essendon straight back in finals next year is a lot of expectation.

Can you imagine what Hird’s reaction as coach, would have been if Essendon, in a final, in the last 2 minutes of the game, had a goal overturned by the AFL not following their own rules and got knocked out as a result? I remember him calling an umpire a cheat some years back. $20k fine. Probably paid for by someone else, like his legal bills were. And Robbo on 360? After it had happened to the bombers??? Well, he might have started a punch on with Whately and anyone who disagreed.I’d actually like him to get them back into finals. It makes it much more amusing when they lose and then everyone jumps back into them for the next season, then they invariably fall apart again and commence to fighting each other again.

Did he say which year?So Derwayne Russell just said he reckons the Druggies are now a premiership contender with Scott at the helm. Crazy stuff lol

Scott not as tough as he makes out if he lets Hird become one of his assistants. I thought it was bad enough that Dean Solomon was appointed but if they appoint Hird as well Scott might as well walk now and save everybody a lot of timeKiss and make-up if Jimmy Boy is brought in as assistant coach. You can smell it.
So Truck wasn't surly enough ? Didn't tell the truth etc. Sounds like he contributed to his own demise.I am very unconvinced that Brad Scott is a great coach and I reckon Essendon's list is nowhere near climbing up the ladder.
But, I reckon it is a good appointment.
Why?
Don't think he is a great coach.
Do know he is a surly bastard.
A surly bastard is just what Essendon need. Someone who will just walk in the room and point out the list deficiencies. Someone who will tell the coteries to pull their heads in, fund the club and keep out of what they shouldn't be poking their noses in. Someone who will question the hierarchy.
Maybe Brad Scott is a better coach than I have seen, North Melbourne is not exactly an easy gig. We'll see. But if he kicks heads and tells the truth to power at Essendon he will likely do the club a lot of good. They are delusional out at Tulla and appointing someone from outside who is unlikely to suffer fools at all is a wise move. Has someone out there grown some brains? Be a pity if they have, want to see Essendon go way more than 37 years without a flag.

Equally we can expect blowback if Benny gets the top job. Will be accused of favouritism from day 1.Works both ways. Hocking the best example. Leaves the club. Runs AfL ops. Changes the rules. Goes back to the club. Club wins the flag.
Only difference is Hocking was there for years. Scott did SFA when he was there. Probably has some IP on future strategy but if Gale gets the gig all of that poo is out the window.
