now its irrelevantly irrelevant
The main thing he should be judged on is his ability to develop young talent. When he came to the club, the talent he had to work with 21yo and younger was Durham, Perkins, Cox, Reid, Hobbs, DâAmbrosio, Bryan, Tsatas, Jones, Baldwin, Davey x2, Lord, Voss, Menzie, Munkara and Hunter.
Iâd say only Durham has been the only unequivocal success. Perkins, Cox and Hobbs arguably have regressed and played better footy under Rutten. A few of them were not good enough. DâAmbrosio, Jones, Tsatas and Voss were mismanaged in my opinion.
I donât think he has a track record of developing young talent, and that is what we need most in our coach.

Iâm just completely fatigued at changing coaches.
It doesnât do anything. We have tried and tried that.
Give list management a go.
Seems to work particularly well for Geelong who are I think clearly the best side in the competition.
Bomber Thompson copped thumping after thumping whilst they went out and built a list. Their ceo stuck firm and they went on to win flags.
Swapping coaches is the worst thing to do. You only do it when you have too.
Thereâs a reason Sydneyâs been up there for so long as well untilâŚwell you guessed it they changed coaches.
If there was some gap between Sheedy and list management perhaps he would have never crashed the club either.
Or if we had of stuck fat with some prior coaches and you know BUILT a proper list.

Iâm too am fatigued of changing coaches.
Suporters want instant results and becuase Brad is not achiving it quickly itâs sack the coach time
What did supporters expect Brad to come in with a magic wand and makes us into a top 4 thats competing for flags.

Making us competitive
Teaching players how to train hard and live a professional life style
Weâve lost three games by 60+ already this year, and another by 40+. Is that competitive?
The people who hired him and those defending him are part of the problem. They can all â â â â right off.

Maybe because we are young side thats what good sides to us.
How manyl thrashings have Richmond copped last year and this year you reckon there fans are sitting thier wanting Yze sacked
Richmond have performed miles above expectation this season. And besides, this is about EFC, I donât give a â â â â about whatâs happening at Richmond.
Scott has had three years to do something at our club, and weâre just as bad as ever. If you canât see that heâs not the right person for the job then youâre just as stupid as the people who appointed him.

That might entice people. Fixing Essendon would be legendary staus.
Only because players like Scarlett threatened to leave if they sacked Thompson.
agreed, but this problem also predates scottâs time in the role
Stupid is people wanting the coach sacked every 3 years.
For once the club needs to back in its coach and stick to the plan and see it through its what Geelong and Richmond did

You dont back in someone with a proven poor track record though.
Stupidest is hiring that person in the first place.
I see your point Nino, I really do, but we cant just back him in for the sake of it, he needs to actually be able to coach, and I dont believe Brad can.

He was hired to take us to win finals, he couldnât do it then got an extension and just about every defensive number is worse year on year.

If he couldnt coach then club wouldnt even bother making the phone call and having the panel recommend him
Youâre telling me you have faith in the clubs ability to hire a head coach?
Really haha?
Not really if the panel of Robert Walls,Jordan Lewis approved then i woul take their word over supporters opinions
Fair enough.

Side note- i do wonder with so much in-experience if Brad would consider coaching from the ground. Just think a senior coaches voice and direction might be an option for short term.
