Assistant Coaches

Yes.
Solomon makes us tougher
Hardwick gives us spirit and passion
Caracalla is a strategist
Watson understands the engine room better than most and can communicate
Lloyd is a champion (with a brain)
Longy self explanatory

I question Lloyd and brain

Next to past champion forwards of game Richo, Carey etc heā€™s a genius. Alternatively you ressurect Hird through that role.

Lloyd has no coaching experience though.

He could potentially come is as a development coach but forward structure and so on would be beyond him.

Mark McVeigh and Bertt Stanton feel left out

So does Scott Camporeale and Michael Prior

I was joking, mate.

I donā€™t mind parts of that list.

Hardwick is contracted until the end of 2021, so we would need to look elsewhere for the senior coach.

One of Matty Egan, Adam Kingsley or Scott Burns for Head Coach. I also wouldnā€™t mind either Kingsley or Burns as an assistant coach (mid) if not chosen as the HC.
Blake Caracella - Game Strategy.
Matty Scarlett & Ben Rutten - Backline.
Roughead - Forwards.
Kelly - PC.
Wanganeen - Indigenous Recruitment.

Essendon premiership players or Brownlow medallist only. Thanks.

He gave up his chance in 1993 to be apart of the Baby Bombers. But he is the skills coach at Freo currently and we need one of them.

Beautiful kick of the football was Michael Prior. Unlucky.

I choose to ignore that Scott Camporeale (and Justin Murphy) ever played for us.

Assuming the poster in this case is just bored and not what they would like to see, but:
Hardwick will never come to Essendon
Lloyd couldnā€™t commit to more hours as a goal kicking coach due to his media commitments so what has changed?
Why would Solly make us harder? Did you ever see how our coach played in the 90s?
Jobe is probably still in NY. He did say recently that he hadnā€™t even been back at the club since he retired (or was that misinterpreted?)

Jobe Watson spends most of his time in Melbourne with partner and daughter, though heā€™ll travel to NY in September to check on his two restaurants - Jobe has been to one game this year - Doubt heā€™ll ever coach but you never say never.

  • Blake Caracella (Senior Coach)

  • Dean Solomon (Senior Assistant Coach)

  • Ben Rutten (Defensive Coach)

  • James Kelly (Midfield Coach)

  • Brendon Bolton (Forwards Coach)

  • Brendon Goddard (Development Coach)

  • Jarrad McVeigh (Development Coach)

  • Dan Jordan (VFL Head Coach)

lloydā€™s answer to everything was ā€˜i practiced heaps and it workedā€™.

Assuming thereā€™s some changes in the assistant coaching set up the most likely move would be Myers in.
Kelly promoted to more responsibilities & Myers takes over his teaching role.

In my opinion itā€™s Corrigan and Harvey who have to go.

Anybody who was there in the knights era - gone

Anybody who was involved in the saga era - gone

Anybody who was a former senior coach - gone

Wouldnā€™t say no to Bolton as an assistant if given the chance.

What is it about Carltonā€™s forward setup thatā€™s impressed you so much?

Love it, with the exception of Bolton
