To think that he gifted 9 or so games straight to Weid and let Voss go.
Nothing surer than him being a plant, straight from afl HQ to you.

I hope thatās true, would be the 1st sign of competent management Iāve seen from the club is a long time.
Hey so itās obvious that Brad is a terrible coach, no need for subterfuge. Welsh, if he can stomach it, can simply watch Essendon play.
whats wrong with beating excrement sides by 2 points? Do you us to become losers like gorf?
Nah you wonāt, you aināt leaving.
I thought Worstfold was a useless coach for us and could never do worse than him and now we have Brad. The North supporters at work have been laughing since we picked him up as coach. Let that sink in.

So you want Matty Knights back?
He will and so will you.
Why would I care what your work colleagues do?

Definitely not but just stating that Knights gets derided for his poor coaching which is fully deserved but itās still better than the results we have seen from bozo the clown Brad

Defensive frailities have been an issue since the Hird/Bomba tenure. So in effect you have multiple coaches and two generations of players to get it right. It doesnāt make sense.

Sorry mate didnāt mean to rattle ya cage.
Yeah I think off field there is more patience. Rebuilds take time.
I donāt know what the next phase is for us but it canāt get much worse.
Especially when you donāt remove the right pieces

So we got the blowtorch and even ridicule this week , good
And now we gert the obligitory puff pieces from the club promising to respond. Problem is its too late for most of the fans, we are sick of this cycle and perhaps they think if they roll back to honorable losses, we might all forget,
not this time

Watson: āNo validityā in reported Essendon coaching push
By SEN

Essendon legend Tim Watson says there is āno validityā to suggestions that there is a background push for Dean Solomon to replace Brad Scott as senior coach at the Bombers.
Caroline Wilson has indicated that premiership coach Kevin Sheedy and some of the clubās coterie groups could perhaps be agitating for a major change behind the scenes.
āKevin Sheedy, we know heās a big fan of Dean Solomon,ā Wilson said on Channel 7ās Agenda Setters. āHe coached him to premierships.
āThe conversation around the Essendonians etcetera, the old boys, is that maybe Dean Solomon would make a great coach of the Essendon Football Club and he and James Hird would work well together.
āYou just look at Brad Scott and you have to say at the moment the cards are stacked against him.ā
In response to that suggestion, former club captain Watson insists he has not heard any of that talk.
Watson acknowledges that Sheedy wanted James Hird over Brad Scott in 2022, but isnāt sure heās trying to stir up a significant coaching change right now.
He said on SEN Breakfast: āAre we moving into an area of reporting where weāre quoting a coterie group at a football club?
āā ā ā ā said the word around the Essendoniansā¦ thereās a lot of different stuff that comes out from coteries at football clubs. Most of it is just chatter and conversation around the team.
āI donāt know whether Kevin Sheedy is out there talking about Dean Solomon being the next coach of the Essendon Football Club. I havenāt heard him say that, so I donāt know whether thatās true or not.
āIf it was then I think heās got to temper where he says whatever it is that heās saying about whoever it is that he wants to be the next coach. Because he has a really powerful voice at the Essendon Football Club.

āOur club has been destabilised over a long period of time, it has never been able to get itself on sure footing in any way. I think that he needs to understand that this would not be helping the situation.
āHe can say whatever he likes but if youāre having conversations and youāre a powerful figure like Kevin Sheedy then you need to probably understand who youāre talking to, where youāre saying these things, and the destabilising effect that it might have on a football club.
āThereās a time and a place for everything. You can have your private conversations and do your power building behind the scenes, and I donāt know at administration level now if he has that power.
āHe wanted James Hird to be coach when Brad Scott was hired. He got rolled on that which was something he disagreed with vehemently at the time and heās been public about that.ā
Watson again made it clear that he has heard nothing regarding a push for current assistant coach Solomon to push Scott out.
āIām making a statement around what Iām hearing and Iām saying that from what I understand there is no validity, there is no evidence that at this point in time there is anybody trying to push Brad Scott out of the football club and put Dean Solomon in there,ā he added.
The Dons were belted by Hawthorn by 62 points in Round 1. They next meet Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
