You really have to wonder how Essendon have beaten St.Kilda the last 3 times.


Another opportunity awaits!

If the Don's were smart they would sell the farm to get Roos..

But they will probably just try and keep the masses happy by getting Hird despite nil experience (Vossy says hi!!!!!).

I'm more than happy for them to wallow near the foot of the ladder for a while longer!

Not the greatest coaching record before being hired.

idiots.

Knights was a bad decision in the first place.

They have the money...They should be throwing the kitchen sink at Roos imo.

So should we to be honest.

I think we were guilty of throwing the kitchen sink at someone who would rather be playing golf and/or over-indulging in Red Wine a few years back !!

True....but it also gained us GTrain, Hamill and a pool of other experienced players.

If you were say Griffen at the Dogs considering an offer from the Dons would you accept it given the current turmoil?
= no.

But if the Don's landed Roos as coach..that may become a yes as Griffen would have confidence in Roos.

We should get him as a consultant. He can tell us how other teams go about beating St Kilda.

I think it's pretty poor of the Essendon board to sack a guy twelve months after they extended his contract. They obviously thought the team was progressing well enough then.

I honestly believe he was appointed coach to be sacked.

Well not exactly

Any coach they put in after Sheedy was going to cope it big time from supporters ect, so they appointed someone to develop the list for three years and cope the flak and then appoint the coach they intended to back for a premiership.

Except last year making the finals made them think Knights is a good coach and extended his contract accordingly.

Knights coaching record before being appointed at Essendon wasn't very flash, and if memory serves right the reason he got the gig over others was because in his interview he said Essendon had a better list than what the other candidates said.
