Just get Hird and Bartel. The way Bartel sees the game is fantastic and I’ve given up and ready for Hird to return.

You know what will improve our defence? Trading out the senior core of players who have shown over the best part of 7-10 years that they can’t, or won’t defend

Ticks a lot of boxes on paper. Would have had overlap with Inness at The Bulldogs too.
anyone who chooses essendon over geelong needs to be thrown into a psych ward

Let’s be serious the carbon rod would be better. Cmon Essendon end the misery
The carbon rod will just have some short term success then fail like Woosha & Rutten
Might aswell just stick with Brad

Cam Bruce does sound good after system overhaul at club fixing football department alignment, development systems, and decision-making clarity.
From WikiP
Hawthorn Football Club
Bruce was appointed as an assistant coach in the role of development coach with the Hawthorn Football Club in 2013 under senior coach Alastair Clarkson. After impressing in his role as a development coach, he was promoted to a senior assistant coach with the Hawks in late 2013.[1] On 22 August 2017, it was announced that Bruce would leave Hawthorn at the end of the 2017 season to become a senior assistant coach at Carlton.[16]
Carlton Football Club
At the end of the 2017 season, Bruce joined the Carlton Football Club as senior assistant coach under senior coach Brendon Bolton.[17] At the end of the 2021 season, Bruce left the Carlton Football Club due to a clean-out at the club, after an extensive review of the club’s football operations.[18]
Brisbane Lions
On 20 September 2021, it was announced that Bruce had joined Brisbane Lions as an assistant coach in the position of midfield coach under senior coach Chris Fagan.[19 ]

It’s always suprised me this guy has never been a senior AFL coach. He took an average club to premiers in the SANFL years back, same as Josh Carr who I rate as well and it sounds like he’s on the way to doing it again. I like guys that have coached their own teams and taken them from being ordinary to being successful in a short space of time.

The problem is that the last time EFC had a good defensive structure was under Hird. We’ve had 3 coaches and two generations of players who have not addressed this issue. I have to assume one dya it will click.
I look forward to the headlines 8 matches in to his tenure when we are 1-7 having been thrashed on ANZAC Day.
Cam Bruce Has Gone Mad!
