Jeepers from NAB CEO to Essendon CEO, that's quite a step down.
I actually met Thorburn when I worked at NAB, we both parked our motorcycles outside at the same time. Seemed like a nice bloke.

Man of integrity apparently, so sounds like a perfect choice.
Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking and Superannuation industry.
Thorburn resigned from NAB in February 2019 after the final report of the Royal Commission. At the time, he said “As CEO I understand accountability. I have always sought to act in the best interests of the bank and customers and I know that I have always acted with integrity. However, I recognise there is a desire for change”.
Allowed his chief of staff to rip off the company to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars (she’s currently in jail for doing so) and presided over the misconduct in the wealth business that they had to sell at a loss.
Given that track record I hope he gets the gig
I wonder which journo will be brave enough to declare “the bombers can win it next year”. There’s one every year. I’ll have my money on Robbo if he gets over Hird not getting the job.
I'm with others on this how can you leave working as General manager of the competition to the next day coaching a team in the competition. Inside information.
Let's see if he loses his Nut if the Arc bend him over on a decision.
I remember he had a sook 1 day about the roof being open at the testie dome.

Robbo will vacillate from week to week like he has done in the past. If they get off to a good start it will be “I think Essendon are the most exciting team in the competition, what do you think Gerard?”
Lose 2-3 in a row “Scott has lost the players Gerard, he has lost them”, “There is strong support for James Hird to come back to the Club, but gee there are people who are going to have to say sorry in order for him to consider it”…….camera moves around the side and there is Sheeds crouched down with his hand up the back of Robbo’s jacket pulling the strings…

They look as excited as the Leeds United players were when Brian Clough replaced "Don" Reevie
A good movie.
There could be history made next season. Has there ever been a year where one brother has coached a team finishing on top of the ladder, or a flag ( hopefully not) and another brother coach the wooden spooner?
