Do we miss Macca?

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

Do we miss Macca?

Post by j-mac31 »

I heard a clip during the week where Winderlich said that Paul McCartney was the best coach he ever had and he is widely regarded as a great developer of talent.

So I'm just wondering if him leaving after last season has cost our development somewhat more than when the average assistant coach takes off.
Aaron Francis is the Messiah.

Is Paul McCartney his nickname or is that just a typo?

If we had Paul McCartney we'd at least have Wings.

As for Brendan - quite possibly a key missing piece now. But we turned to total crap as soon as Dean Wallis returned to his post :P

It was not a typo and I think his nickname is actually "Macca".

Brendan McCartney

(to the tune of Eleanor Rigby)


Ahhhh, look at all the wasted talent,
Ahhhh, look at al the wated tealent.


Brendan McCartney, picks up the balls on the ground where the training has been
No talent was seen
Bomber and Hirdy, look to the skies with a sigh and shrug and a scream
What does it all mean?

All the wasted talent, where did it all come from
All the wasted talent, been at the club too long

Ahhhh, look at all the wasted talent,
Ahhhh, look at al the wated talent.

Monfries and Reimers, stand on the field that was once a place of our dreams
Do something please!!
Alwyn and Leroy, buzzing around but in truth they do nothing but tease
Circus of fleas

No wonder Brendan left us, we really are quite shit
No wonder Brendan left us, the place is now the pits

Brendan McCartney?

Im sure he would have been missed as he was very highly rated. Not much we could do about it though!

One thing I would like is an ex forward to teach forward structure. I'm sure Egan is a good coach, but how much does he know about setting a forward line up?

I had been thinking the same thing for the last couple of weeks, but just couldn't remember exactly when he came back.
