Can tell you that after talking to a few Essendon boys last week they love the Knighta
the players are maturing, there reaching that 23 to 24 year age bracket, nearing their peak, all it proves is that knights can coach a little and that the old bastard traiter sheedy once agan re built the essendon list, something knights has yet to prove he can do
What knights has proved he can do is provide an exciting gameplan and get his players to follow that plan. He has not been afraid to wield the axe (Lucas and McVeigh) or not pander to player factions (Lloyd and Lovett). He has given the young players like Hurley and Pears their heads and encouraged their aggression. He has coped with a horrendous injury list and developed his players into a cohesive unit, all in all he has been as successful as any Essendon fan could reasonably hope for.
I was wrong, I did not think he had demonstrated the requisite experience to be a good AFL coach and thought Hardwick was the better option for the bombers, I hate seeing the bombers get it right-but at least they have shown that not everything out of Richmond is poisoned.

In other words, he has shown he is a good coach. Not quite sure why so many people thought he wouldn't make one.
Knighta inherited what appears to be a very handy bunch of young players from Sheeds along with a handfull of top class old stagers.Tambling Man said:
Best thing Knighta has done is line the players up and put them all on the same page.
No special privelidges for old champs or future captains. This is the team, these are the team rules, abide by them and we'll play senior footy. Drag the chain and it's of to Bendigo.
Wonder if he learn't one that from watching the cliques at Tigerland.
