PRINCE OF PERTH!
Such a wholesome group

This is probably a stretch but wouldnāt surprise me in the slightest that they would be very aware of the talk about alcohol/partying/training habits and having the Coke out for the photos ā¦ but when the camera is put away, the boys are at play.
Not necessarily simple as that.z
Reasonable to say a young coach joining a great culture and stable club in Richmond is much more likely to succeed than at a destabilised club with a really poor culture in Essendon.
At Richmond he picks up from Dimma and runs with it.
At Essendon heād be rebuilding a club. And a young coach in this respect wouldnāt likely command enough respect across the organisations vast stakeholders to secure support over a medium term horizon required. Heād be swallowed up like the others at Essendon in all likelihood.
Scott is probably the right coach for the now (3 years). Then hopefully he and his colleagues have rebuilt the clubs foundations so itās ready to go to a new level under a younger coach (if need be).

We needed the AFL back on side also
BDB having come out of AFL house role
Yze would have been 3rd in line behind Hird as well anyway
Might be a massive pisstake as well for the boys back home.

Around here, it will be clear as day.
Perfect summation of what was occurring behind the scenes. Dodo was politically entrenched and no one had the gonads to get rid of him until Vozzo did.
All very chummy on the way out but the blood is on the paper (statement). Looks like a heavily agreed (and squeezed) statement.

Surely if they were taking themselves seriously theyād be on the sugar frees!!!
It will be interesting what the pre season looks like this year. I will be particularly interested in the forward 50 entries. Personally I feel the tactic of just dumping the ball in long to 2MP was a bust.
My only concern is that Scott experienced something that Truck did the year before in that there was a period where the players appeared disinterested.
Itās time for the club to back the coach to the hilt. The commonality in some of the issues over the past couple of years is the player group. Looks like the cultural change at the club may have to extend to the playing field.

If we had Benny Cousins at the club it would be the same except running from the cops and doing a line of coke
First time coachesā¦GWS appointed Kingsley and he takes them 1 point of a Grand Final. Collingwood appointed McCrae last year and it was the sameā¦ so close to a grand final and now Grand Final 2nd year.
Brad Scott who is an experienced coach couldnāt get us to a final.
Is the difference the existing player fitness programs. Were these clubs ahead by country miles so new coaches come in and they can have big impact just focusing on game plans because players are well ahead in professional standards.
We overlooked Yze and now Richmond has appointed him. Interesting to see how Richmond go next year.

Exactly. Both the Pies and Giants had far superior lists that were simply failing due to long term coaches that lost their way. Fresh coaches with fresh approaches were able to extract the best out of their lists that were already stacked with talent. Pies also just got lucky and got a F/S who is out of this world good.

Annoys me so much that Collingwood got access to the Daicos brothers, Darcy Moore, and Quaynor through their academy
How N Daicos didnāt get bid on until pick 4 is also baffling.
