The Bombers went with Matty Nights because Bomber down at the cats with just a few things on his plate at the moment did not respond to a text message sent to him from the club
We might not have the best of the best at the Saints but you cant say that we can not afford a phone call
Panic and sack Sheeds at the wrong time of the season to get the best coach available then panic when you dont get a text back and get the first bloke that says we can make it to finals in 08.
Just goes to show that it is not just our club that can be accused of having a flawed system when looking for a coach.
Good luck to you Matty Nights you have the support of the board until a text comes back to the club anyway
I worry for Essendon with this appointment. No honeymoon period for Knights. I really worry for them.
Who the hell am I kidding? I'm laughing at them. Funny stuff. Ray Horsburgh shoots his mouth off in the media. Says they are following a process. They have a criteria. They don't follow it. They sack a successful coach. Ray comes off looking like a dill.
Why is this sounding vaguely familiar?
Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.
The problem with Essendon is that they won't accept that you have to spend 2-3 years down the bottom. They refuse to go through the process like Hawthorn or St Kilda or Geelong did.
The don't know how to handle this stage of their football cycle, and are in turmoil as a result.
The advantage of being a "loser" club like St Kilda/Dogs is that you can go through this process relatively successfully.
The flipside accusation is that you can't handle success when you have it, whereas clubs like Essendon know exactly how to deal with winning.
Let's hope we smash Essendon for the next decade.
They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.
