I would add Vigo in there as well. Not yet 21 and if he can get a bit more muscle will be better than any we already have.

LOL out loud, thanks for for spotting that - always good to have Noonan keep me on my toes!

It’s my one bugbear that results in pedantry.

I still seethe (not privately) at Bono writing, singing and recording the lyric “punching in the numbers at the ATM machine”.

Fark Bono.

Kate McCarthy former Brisbane afl w player turned commentator.

Got blasted a week or so ago for suggesting afl w coaches should be in the mix for men’s job then was loved when she said Hird should be coach.

One of the few to call out the players and overall her takes are pretty good

I’d say so, end of first session they did say the boys there had to go have lunch and then train.

Yeo the first massive ■■■■ up assssshole - “lets move to Marvel and charge our fans up the wazoo to come see our spectacular team”, many that have followed have really lived up to this dumb arrogant kents lead well though.

“Premium GA”

Pay $10 more to sit in the first 15 rows of level 4 at Docklands.

A shining example of “Client Services” (Jackson’s rebrand of the membership department).

Fark you, Jackson. You’re scum.

There should be pictures in the museum of him - “The one who moved us away from the G”, Xav “The one who moved us to Tulla”, Skeletor “The succession plan”, Barham “The one who hired and fired a ceo in a day but bought ‘stability’”, Welsh “The one who says things that instantly go wrong aka Swagger cultcha”

that’s why i laugh when the club and people say we need essendon people to fix essendon.

I thought Hird would be the same, but solly is prime example. Granted he’s in a hard situation as he probably isn’t going to be the head coach beyond this year, but he could still make an example of players who aren’t doing what He now wants them to do, the same as they wouldn’t or couldn’t under scott. But nope same ■■■■ different coach, so what are the chances a different essendon person, would do any better ?

some of us have said there’s too many outside influences pulling the club in different directiosn cos they have vested interests in certain players they like and support to continue to be played, and they won’t allow any coach not to drop them, how is an essendon person meant to break that cycle, when they were moulded in it and benefited from it also ? If hird gets the job, how is he supposed to say no to coteries, when coteries are the one who push for his re instatement.
if anything an essendon person is just going to entrench the club further into the shitshow it currently is.

Has Solomon been told by the Board to “just keep the ship afloat”………… or has he taken it upon himself to just “keep the ship afloat”?

because it seems to me, the club has just put its hands up…. And said “let’s try to keep the senior blokes happy so they stay”.

And this is the f*cking problem with this club. Somebody needs to make some tough calls….. but they’re all sitting on their hands, hoping that a new coach can pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all

The only other thing I can think of is they are playing a lot of these guys because we are trying to increase their trade value.

Doesn’t help that there is no communication from the club as to what they are trying to achieve in these last few rounds

I feel truly sorry for Dean Solomon.

Zero doubt he’s a cracking bloke. I think there’s a huge difference between being named interim coach for 4 weeks and doing it for 12.

Another in a long line of people with a certain level of ability/competence who’s been shoved into a ■■■■ situation and asked/expected to perform miracles.

You can put it together

Every coach who’s even started to rebuild has been sacked within 15-20 weeks.

What message does that send to the senior coach? It’s all about the short term.
