Essendon = Entitlement

Aaaaand now Truck is safe.

Subtitles = we asked Clarko and he said no.
So Rutten has not been KOed.

He’s been Koched .

Quite similar to Hinkley really except on this occasion the entire Board has been shown to be lacking in commitment and commonsense.

Who runs these clubs?

Haphazard Happy Hammond!!!

Got to feel for young D'Ambrosio.

He had the disappointment of missing out on 1, or it might even have been 2 drafts, and then has the misfortune of being selected in the midseason draft by a rabble like Essendon.


Sam Durham as well, another one of our VFL players who had the misfortune of being an Essendon midseason draft pick.

He'll end up making as much in 6-7 years as i do in 20 non-tiger premiership years but

Would everyone stop with the suggestions to help Essendon improve. May they continue to wallow in mediocre

I actually hope that the Bombers get Clarkson. The amount of the soft cap he will suck up would be astronomical.

North could have gone to the AFL and asked for some support, they've already said they don't need more picks (so aren't asking for a first), what they have said they need are more mature players and they should be saying that they need more coaching support. Temporary increases to their soft cap will probably then be allowed to bring in Clarkson as well as be able to fund the rest of their coaching dept.

Essendon won't get that, they'll go the whole messiah route, realise they don't have enough money so support their messiah with crap coaches and then very little development of their kids as usual.

Bringing in Clarkson would set them back another decade and wouldn't it be beautiful.

I don't get it, they still have Caracella don't they? And yet they got flogged. Doesn't make any sense.

I heard that there is now a Board challenge on with the challenging group headed by one K.Sheedy

That is also great news imo because the last thing they need is someone with the ego of Sheeds running the joint

If it gets up, he’ll appoint himself as senior coach for life.

Hope so. A humungus ego combined with losing your marbles is the perfect skillset IMHO.

He hasn't got time to be assistant at the bummers. He and Truck have been too busy talking to Fly and Leppa and instructing Dimma to bring in Cumberland, Moju, Sonsie and Miller as well as moving DRioli to halfback and Balta back into defence.

I don’t think this will generate a rebound like Kangas. Players will be hangdog all week with everyone in senior roles at the club knowing they are in deep trouble of being sacked. They will provide 10 mins of resistance then collapse
But they will be brave...

According to Cal Twomey:

Essendon has met with former premiership player Dean Solomon about a potential role in the club's football department.


They just cant help themseves. All Essendon ppl, again! Love it. Over and over, they make the same mistakes.

I think the big winner out of this coaching race will be GWS. They have actually gone through a proper process.
Adam Yze has that job 100% confirmed. He's putting together his team right now.
