The fact it was pointed out as an issue in the external review and wasn’t acted upon….. is simply terrible management.

Exactly. You can only move forward but those who knew of the problem for some time and did nothing about it until now need to go.
It’s called accountability.

To say that Barham is scum irrespective of the performance of Essendon Football during his chairmanship is quite disrespectful and, you quite frankly is a disappoint.
Couldn’t care less. It’s because of absolute fools like him that we are in this mess

He has some level of blame, no doubt.
But to label Dave Barham as ‘scum’ is absolutely fkd and you really need to have a rethink about your posture here.

At least he got the ball rolling in forcing change if it wasnt for him Sheedy,Dodoro,Xavier etc would have still been at the club and plotting to get Hird back

With missing finals this year, we won’t have to put up with disgraceful umpiring until next year.

And what would be wrong if Hird was coach? The team always had a dip under Hird. Can’t say that about the last three years.

Nino commenting about people trying to get Hird back.
Despite him being the one who was posting that Hird should be coach when we were coach hunting last.
Go get banned again, save us from your nonsense.

They might play with a bit more heart but we would still be getting the same results as of now
If Hird wants to coach Essendon again go and be an assistant at a succesfull club for 5-6 years

Genuine questions mate, how can you still keep defending this club as if it can do no wrong? Do you just like being a contrarian or something?
Every year we’re told we’re headed in the right direction and I’m ■■■■■■■ tired of it. Until I see evidence on field that we are improving, nothing will change. So far, there’s been none, other than improvement from individual players like roberts and don’t use injuries as an excuse. I don’t have any confidence in Scott or Barham’s leadership that things will change.

Genuine question in response mate
Is Barham scum?
Definitely not, but I don’t have confidence in him that’s for sure. Feel free to keep defending the club though

Whenever the next time Nino starts sooking and saying that dark forces are trying to get Hird back and how it shouldn’t happen…

So my views have changed since then
The problem with Hird as I see it, is that we know he was chucked under the bus with this saga stuff and the media and public went that hard on him, all the young players nowadays probably have ill feelings about him given the negative publicity. They just don’t know any better.

Well then, I suppose you could have had a crack at the joker who labelled Barham scum’
