Re: Who Will Be The New EFC Coach?
Worsfold is a 46 yr old Premiership coach. He's hardly at retiring age and premiership coaches can't be content sitting in the background.
He wants to coach again..
As sure as the sun comes up.
He will get at least 750k salary.
You can put your house on him being at Essendon next year.

And that means what exactly? He isn't the crows coach and if he wants either job he will go through the process...ZeroEffect wrote:He's already at Adelaide and they happen to be looking for a coach too.. Hope your renting Windy

Re: Who Will Be The New EFC Coach?
Let's see....if you were John Worsfold and wanted to coach again, who would YOU choose?
Adelaide - he's currently there and knows the players. He most likely knows the administration and the culture. He probably gets a real sense of stability at the club. He certainly gets a feeling of optimism with the club playing finals this year. He knows what it's like to coach in a two team State.
Essendon - he's aware of the turmoil the club is in. WADA breathing down the players neck. Players are out of breath. Players want to leave. The club culture is shithouse. The administration is equally shithouse. Optimism doesn't live here.

Hard to argue with that BD, except I'd suggest this stuff is decided more on emotion than logic.BenDoolan wrote:Let's see....if you were John Worsfold and wanted to coach again, who would YOU choose?

If logic was a qualifier, no-one would want a full-time senior coach role.
Someone like Worsfold may well want the challenge EFC represents.
I think he'd be a good 'fit'. There may be better ones, but I don't pay enough attention to know who they might be.
Re: Who Will Be The New EFC Coach?
I wouldn't be adverse to a coach being appointed for one year just to settle the horses and develop the kids.
And no - its not Sheedy (like some rumors are flying about).

After two games in the seat, Egan is coming across as honest and no nonsense.
I'm beginning to warm to the idea of just keeping him, at least until the dust settles anyway.

Re: Who Will Be The New EFC Coach?
We need a coach with sufficient gravitas to pull this group from their current malaise. Egan does not possess the required gravitas, or anything like it.billyduckworth wrote:After two games in the seat, Egan is coming across as honest and no nonsense.

We need someone who is familiar with the playing group but has no preexisting relationship with them. Someone who, to date, has no connection with the club. Someone who can come in and say "David Zaharakis, you might be a senior player and have a big reputation, but until you put your head over the ball you are playing in the reserves. Come and see me in a month's time."
Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days at the Essendon Football Club.

Re: Who Will Be The New EFC Coach?
I see your point. So who actually fits that description - is familiar with our list and yet is not connected with us in any way??

You'd hope any prospective AFL coach would keep track of most it not all players on an AFL list.billyduckworth wrote:I see your point. So who actually fits that description - is familiar with our list and yet is not connected with us in any way??

Yeah, not automatically picking Zachariah, Melksham, Stanton and Dempsey every week would be a start to some improvement.gringo wrote:We need a coach with sufficient gravitas to pull this group from their current malaise.

Re: Who Will Be The New EFC Coach?
Exactly Ben and I agree, every year coaches are sacked and every person wanting to be an AFL coach lives with the knowing if they get the position they could probably be next but; it doesn't stop them wanting to coach or them eventually being sacked. Very FEW coaches get to call it on their own terms.BenDoolan wrote:Let's see....if you were John Worsfold and wanted to coach again, who would YOU choose?
