Nah Kevin Sheedy had the opportunity to coach us for 27 years, it is only fair that at a bare minimum, the legendary coach of Brad Scott, with all his success and accolades as North Melbourne coach for a decade, and him being the absolute tactical genius that he is, gets at least the same.
That’s the respectful thing to do. wE CAn’t kEEp saCkiNg cOacHes!!!
derpa derpa dERpA.
The not “the same thing” is how much angst is expended between now and when he leaves.
The bigger issue I reckon is the fact that the club and board keep picking a certain type of coach.
Scott has ended up being the epitome of what every coach at this club has done, and it has not worked, so the process even when done supposedly independently, is yielding the same outcome as always.
It’s like a woman who says her type is bad boys, and then continually picks bad boys, then wonders why they treat her the same way.
whether it’s scott, a new coach or the previous coaches, the same issue is that the board and club think that the players they have at their disposal are the ones that can get them success, which is the obvious wrong starting point as they aren’t.
the only thing that saves scott beyond next year, is barham and co’s egos about not wanting to be shown up for the idiots they are, so they will back him in, maybe even extend his tenure to “create stability”, just so they don’t lose their control and power at the club.
I’m not so sure I agree with this.
The decision has constantly been either backing the players and list management, or backing the coach. Essendon has constantly chosen to back the players.
I’m not sure Rutten rated our list that highly. And rumour has it that Worsfold and Rutten both had falling outs with Dodoro before they left.
I’ve never heard that
Neither have I.
Mind you I was never within earshot.
Can we sack Brad and bring horse in???
BIG
■■■■
HORSE
This club is crying out for a big horse ■■■■.
Longmire would definitely put a hard edge on the playing group, will never happen.
Imagine starting a full rebuild with Longmire setting the culture. That is what we need.
I would happily buy a membership to come along for the ride.
Yeah … Go Horse …
Instead of getting flogged in elimination finals …
We get to the GF and get flogged …
FKn embarrassing
Please leave, Brad. Now.
Longmire not a rebuild coach he’s a Ross Lyon type coach. At Essendon he won’t have the same access to the elite talent that Swans produce via their academy
Huh? He’s been at the Swans since 2011, he’s rebuilt them a couple of times at least.
longmire gets the same criticism as brad does from sydney supporters, no plan b, plays favorite players, ■■■■ game plan, yada yada yada
I reakon it’s the shame ■■■■ from all supporter bases.
Port fans hate Ken Hinkley. Imagine a coach that got us anywhere near the same results…we’d be frothin’! Actually no we wouldn’t, we’d still be ■■■■■■■■ and moaning about something.
It’s not exclusive to us or Sydney. It’s every club.
Three months ago… plenty of Lion fans wanted Fagan gone.
There’s always a bit of a honeymoon period when coaches take over shambolic clubs and it raises expectations… before reality sets in. There’s no quick fixes in modern footy like there was for clubs in the 70s and 80s.
It could take 8-10 years for us to get success with a Longmire rebuild.
I just want you to be aware of that, Nino.
