@jvckdavies I reserve judgement on him tbh. Just find it perplexing how fans demonstrate so little sense of how game works. wish we had a step change in broadcast analysis. Can't persist with asymmetry between fans and coaches. leads to misunderstanding of players' value and effectiveness.
@freocrood@chris_willo The Mid Year Cricket Association league in melbourne has a few hundred teams competing across citywide divisions. My club has 2 winter teams (5 normally in summer) because demand is pretty high to play year round, especially among south asian guys who have immigrated in adulthood
I know the AA team is more closely correlated to team success, than individual. I know media lists are bait factories. And yet despite these facts, I'm out here mad they put the wrong Perth-based Reid in there.
Catnip for nuffie Essendon supporters who think all their former one-note draftees were actually thwarted stars of the competition, hard done by bad coaches past... Bring back Hobbs! Only Hirdy can save the youth!
โHirdy just gave me so much self-belief and confidence and I think connection is the most important thing for a coach to have nowadays.โ

Hobbs rekindle his passion for the game.

@RCT_10 Doubt. Richmond has done a much better job than Essendon in making it clear that the objective is a full rebuild. Fan expectations are much lower, even in to next year. Plus we're not run by a coterie group of delusional bored old men.
"If I'm the best man for the job, yes, I would love to do that job."
James Hird responds to whether he wants to coach Essendon again, advocating for the club to undergo the most 'exhaustive process possible'.

@MaybeTigerWooda Would much rather those kids have something to motivate them through rehab doldrums (even if they're almost 0 chance to return), than looks at a bunch of Dom Brews
@Jousting_Sticks Enthusied by the way the handball game has opened up in recent weeks. Glad he keeps doing lots of media depsite being shit at it. Learning and growth
Maybe Hird's unrealistic. Maybe I should settle for the comedy of Dean Solomon going from board member to head coach in 9 months. Long live the boys club. May they 'learn' from this Brad Scott era and never bring in another outside voice ever again.
โThere is a very, very strong push from a lot of people out there to get James back at Essendon, coaching.โ
- Tim Watson
Dean Solomon to be asked whether he wants to be interim coach.
Another payout for the Bombers, but the view was the losses mounted, the team had not improved and the uncompetitive periods were unsustainable.
What does it mean for Zach Merrett?
