As much as I loved Solly as a player, I’m sick of vacant positions getting taken up by the old boys network. We have been like this for far to long and it’s gotten us nowhere. Getting Woosha was the right start. If Solly is the best man for the job, great but if not, no preferential treatment.
I heard Hardie on 6PR but he also wrote an article on it which indicates the pressure may be on all the assistant coaches.
There is also movement at Essendon to try and bolster John Worsfold in the box. Pressure is going on the likes of Mark Neeld, Guy McKenna and co at Bomberland.
In a case of musical chairs Scott Burns could end up at the Bombers, who has worked with Worsfold and Solomon could find his way to Windy Hill.
Hardie is well connected and what he has said is plausible.
Wasn’t Neeld in charge of player development or something a few years back? I remember the young players coming in and looking good. Now he is opposition analysis isn’t he?
Worsfold: ok Neeldy, how do we beat the Carlton this week
Neeld: we need to tag Gibbs
Worsfold: tag? you mean go head to head in midfield?
Neeld: no no no, we need to TAG!
Worsfold: …oh i got you, head to head it is
