Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

Then a Hird Harves ticket 2015?

Ie harvey takes bombers job and bomber retires conpletely at end of 2014?
That is my gut feel what will happen or Goodwin coach 2014 with Harvs taking Bombers job if he doesn't want to go on.

Well the rAGE has Wellman gone. So it looks like a whole new crew is being lined up.


2014 is going to be interesting.

Sounds like Goodwin got the gig. Colyer's manager may have let the cat out of the bag....

If thats the case, it's another bad governance decision by the club.

Every single player that got in front of the microphone at the Crichton thanked Goody, he is obviously highly respected and loved so it sounds like we need to keep him one way or another

Trade week radio said it's down to Bomber Thompson and Leigh Tudor. I don't know how accurate the report is though.

And in every interview since the season ended the players have said that they've discussed things with him.

That's because he conducted the end of season reviews.

Leigh Tudor is the bolter. His pedigree is impeccable - the issue is about whether Bomba is able to do the job.

Just hurry up and announce Bomber has the job.

I wouldn't mind Craig in the football department.

I'm sorry but if the AFL allows us to employ Mumbles Craig in a Football Operations role it will just be further proof of their corruption.

Hird, Corcoran, Thompson and Reid were ultimately charged and the former three punished by the AFL for failing in their "duty of care" to the players.

Well who held a senior role in the coaching setup at Melbourne when they were having dealings with Stephen Dank and running their own dodgy supplements program that the AFL continues to hope everyone forgets about, or at least doesn't talk or ask questions about...that is right Mumbles Craig.

Now let me say, I have nothing against Mumbles per say but if the AFL was serious in their bullshit about the club failing in their duty of care to the players then an investigation of Melbourne's supplement program would have least been commenced now, and they certainly would not allow anyone who had a significant role in the program at Melbourne (such as the Senior Assistant Coach with a background in Sports Science) would have, to go to a club that they just had to severely punish for failing in its 'duty of care' to the players.

I cant stand Neil Craig.

He made the Crows into Crowbots and was involved as a major part of the football dept at Melbourne at a time when the playing performance was totally dysfunctional.

We should not be even entertaining the idea of Neil Craig.

Just appoint Bomber and be done with it.

I dont see the point of Leigh Tudor as he surely will want to coach beyond the end of one season.

Hurry up and announce the decision for goodness sake. I dont want another appointment of an untried person a la Matthew Knights on the basis of their ability to navigate themselves around Powerpoint !!!!

What's Matthew Knights doing with himself? Are we still paying out his contract? If so, make him work for it :lol:

Geelong's VFL coach Benny.

Just got done in the Grand Final after they had a very Knight's experience of allowing Box Hill to get a massive run on in the 3rd quarter and blow them out of the water.

Wallace sacked, looks like they're clearing the decks for a few new faces.

Wallis?

Hopefully it is amicable seeing as his son at this stage is highly rated and available to be draft F/S in 2015.

Even if it isn't, we kept him employed for 12 months when he was suspended for betting on games. If anything he owes the club. No other club would have employed him after that.
