Re: Ross Lyon?
I was as p!ssed off as anyone when Ross walked out on us, but over the years I have had time to reflect and have come to the conclusion that he is the best coach we have had at our club. We have been wallowing in mediocrity since the day he left, and I am desperate to get him back. I miss the feeli...

Re: Ross Lyon?
What I really can't bear is how smug he'd be. He walked out on us and still we begged him to come back. I don't think my stomach is strong enough.

Re: YOUR CHOICE FOR NEXT COACH
I guess we’ll follow the modern trend of running a “process”. I can see why clubs do it as it gives them an “out” when things go tits up, some sort of plausible deniability. Would be refreshing if the club just picked someone and backed them in. I agrree. If Lyon wants the job, give it to him. Spar...

Re: Grant Thomas to comment on SEN
GT and Lyon had one thing in common: they got the players believing they could win. Doesn't matter how good you are if you don't believe you can win. And if you do believe, anything's possible - look at the doggies' flag. GT got them believing in themselves, Lyon got them to believe in his game pla...

Re: Clarko and the Hawks alleged disgusting behaviour.
This appears to be the result of a club operating at the extreme end of the 'professionalism' spectrum. They've behaved like a cult. Stripping players of their phones. Demanding they should have no distractions. Cutting them off from their old lives. Whichever poster said they were sure the coaches ...

Re: Clarko and the Hawks disgusting behaviour.
The verbatim reporting of allegations/stories from one side in an extract from a third party report does not provide balance. Particularly given the shock/horror slant the ABC is giving. The stories/scenarios outlined could easily be depicted completely differently by an objective assessment of pla...

Re: Is the AFL becoming the premier league
Equalisation seems to have worked pretty well - geelong, Richmond, dogs, Dees - all lifted themselves off the mat in recent memory. We did too of course for our brief spell in the sun just without reaping the ultimate prize. Brisbane too had that miserable dip after their dynasty but have risen agai...

Good coaches don’t demand anything Are you a boss/manager?! Do you demand stuff?? If you did, your employees would consider you a c***! Good. managers aren't too fussed about seeming a c***.

Re: Core Group of Players
Sadly, our core group should be headed by Billings who, for one reason or another, disappoints every season, and Ross, Steele, Marshall and Membrey, who are all good but not good enough. These are our senior players and unfortunately they're just not good enough to build a dominant team around. Thes...

Re: Indigenous exit according to some.
No one wants to go to Essendon. And even if they did no one to sign a contract. The President, Coach and CEO just left. They are not travelling well. And remember McDonald-Tippungwuti. If there is one thing I am confident of at present, it is that Essendon is a less attractive club for players to j...

Re: Ben Long Midfield
The thing is, I understand that sometimes things don’t work out for a player at a club. Maybe for whatever reason there has been a falling out between Longy and some of the leadership group and maybe even the coach and list management. Maybe the list management meetings over the last few weeks have...
