Yet another old coach with old ideas.

Will it take another five years to show that we need fresh coaches with fresh faces and fresh ideas? The EFC grey army in full effect.

How many more jobs for mates woosha?

What other mates has he employed?

Sooo what line? Forward line? I can’t figure out who’s doing what.

From his GC experience, I think it might be just “Line” coach … so our other boys don’t fall victim to Jake style stupidity.

Lesson One: Turn your phone off before you do a line!

(Too soon?)

This is great news!

So we've gone from the royal box to the sacked coaches pension club. Mick Malthouse isnt doing anything can we give him a call too. He was the standout applicant from the thorough application process - how many more times does the club have to come out with the same crappy lie.

The royal box consisted of
a now sacked afl coach (maccartney)
a burnt out afl coach in Thompson
an untried and unskilled coach in Hird

and look what they gave us over the 5 years. and you want to hold them up as some sort of high standard to never be able to live up to ?

I mean FFS they got the club and list of players pretty much to the same spot Matty knights did, and 99% of essendon people think he was an absolute ■■■■ coach.

The royal box was one of the biggest disasters to happen to the EFC, so using them for a benchmark other than what we don’t want, is silly.

Didn't Ablett come out and say that either Bluey goes or he goes? I think there may have been some friction over Gary's refusal to follow certain guidelines.
Wasn't Gary the leader of the god botherer faction, and he objected to the party faction? I think he wanted a Buckley response of cleaning out the party faction, but didn't get it. And McKenna couldn't do a Malthouse and somehow get the two groups to co-exist.

P.S. I may be talking ignorant ■■■■ here.

Definitely think he is there to ‘help’ Woosha in navigating around the club. It’s hard to go into a new club on your own, now he brings a mate with him to help transform everybody.

He seriously went up there expecting a clear out of the party faction was on the cards?
Son of God still fancies himself in the miracles department then.

Coaching box lacks HARDINGHAM!

You mean like Ratten over at Hawthorn. Yeah terrible idea, never works.

No you are right. However is that a bad thing on Ablett’s behalf? He wanted a team that worked hard off the field and stayed off the boozing and drugs, half the team agreed (they are not all Christian and don’t all join in the prayer meetings and he wasn’t against people having a drink) while the other bunch wanted to be allowed to do whatever and whenever with no consequences. Bennell is an example of where a few of them were actually headed. he got done first and the others are starting to pull their heads in.
