Exactly.
If anything Baloo, this whole sorry saga has just emphasised what a soulless immoral club they are. I mean we all knew that after they got caught in the drug cheating episode but even that embarrassment has not brought about a change in culture.
I'm not sure how you do at a place where coterie groups and bitter old men like Sheedy has a much influence as they do. It appears the entire club is beholden to these groups and bend to their will.
If Clarko decides to go to Essendon then good luck to him, because he's going to need 'truck' loads of it.
Zack Reid, would be worth asking about, Parish and Peter Wright also.
Essendon have shown all the dysfunctionality that has been brewing behind the scenes. If they miss on Clarkson, they look fools as they rightly should. It will also accelerate the plan to get Hird back to Essendon. As only the golden one can fix things. If they land Clarkson, he would be wanting a nice long contract too. Will they offer that? If the Sheedy/Robinson group still want Hird? Would Clarkson want Sheedy on the board whiteanting him (as he would) and Robinson sniping in the press every time they lose a game??
There are. The problem is that list guru Dudoro wants 2 first round picks and at least a quality player in return for their worst players. Hate to think what he would demand for a decent one
Despite the fact that we had coaches who did not perform before Dimma, when we started to allow the contracts to run full term, not sack the coach a year or two early, rather just not renew the contract, was when I thought there was some hope. They gave coaches 5 years and if it didn't work out they were gone after 5 years not sacked after 2.5.
Essendon still seem to be missing the lesson that one messiah does not make a flag, that it does take time, player development, list building and the rest to be a contender.
What they need is a determined plan to bring players through the draft, develop a great development programme and go to work on building a great team. There will be dud draft picks. There will be setbacks. It may take longer than you hope for. Keep the good players they have now to help with the rebuild and put resources into recruiting and development along with getting a long term coach.
Oh well, let them wallow.

I look forward to their 21st, and then when they're eligible for the pension.Come October all babies conceived after the Drugs last final win will be old enough o drink,vote, and drive legally now

They will be drafting players this year that won't have been born the last time they won a final
... Savage !!
Calculating that finals next year start from the 8th of September, it’s going to be up to 6,941 at the very least. As they are very doubtful to win any finals next year even with a super coach or messiah in charge, the magical 7,000 mark will be hit on the 6th of November. That’s the Monday before Cup Day, so it’s like an unofficial public holiday. We can all celebrate
