That's the new way forward you know.

Hirdy wouldn't waste his time and neither would any half decent candidate.

Re: What will be Knight's Legacy?

Among many he will be remembered as up there with the best con artists of our time. He conned everyone into seeing him as a good player when he was just an average performer at a poor club. He conned every club he's been connected with that he's a great coach. He conned people that he is his own man...

"Knights appears very much to be his own man.

Pigheaded more like.
The team can't perform when it matters nor can the assistants apparently so you retain the one constant?

Re: Clash jumper - its going to happen.

Now, as it stands, I have little problem with wearing either a thin strip or fat strip against the three first-mentioned clubs. Or just wear red shorts! Yeah why not. We could go that far and let the rest do what they like.Leave Essendon out of it. P.S.Fitzroy looked very flash in the brief time th...

Re: Clash jumper - its going to happen.

St Kilda for a start, Carlton, Collingwood, Adelaide...any of the teams with dark coloured tops makes it difficult I reckon. I'm partilally colour blind and never had an issue with jumpers even in the mud and the blood of the old surburban grounds. Being a staunch traditionalist, I do not want them...

Yeah but,as the this years slogan says "THIS IS ESSENDON".
We are not Geelong,Swans,Melbourne,Bulldogs or any of the rest who for years struggled to get to the business end of the season.
Expectations are high and patience is low.

Re: The 70's

They weren't silly enough to keep a coach for five years though.Tuddenham had them going for a while,fights and all.But as soon as that fizzled out they got rid of him.
Same with all the others.
Dare say there wouldn't be half as much screeching now if Knights didn't have his contract extended.

Doubt he's on half a mil nonetheless keeping him will be very costly. Crowds are down affecting reserve seat money, membership is sinking and what about sponsers plus you'll have TV stations wanting others on next year. All up it's potentially a lot of money -Millions.Paying Knights off is small bee...

Re: And the courageous action taken by our board is......

I'm not a big fan of Knights. But anyone who thinks that replacing him is the answer to our current woes is simply delusional. About half the supporter base didn't want Knights at the start.Nearly all the rest have joined them. That alone should be enough. It least in the 70's they replaced coaches...
