Kicking has been so good from Essendon today. Their fans are loving it! @comedyray

Want to know the differences between Rd5 & this wk? Well the major ones are detailed here, with the numbers to back it up. The game is pretty simple when you really break it down. #godons

Essendon doesn’t need the best coach, the best list manager, the best players, etc to succeed … we just need enough reasonably good people in enough roles who are ALL well-aligned.

We’re not a one-man solution. It’s a collective effort, top to bottom.

[3AW Football @3AWisfootball]

Is Longmire the answer at Essendon? 😯

@AnthP_ @BomberRicko Not classy to give Archie a drive-by on the day he did his shoulder, but I much rather than ball be in Farrow’s hands out of the back half. His kicking is just infinitely more damaging.

He’s going to be such a fun watch over the years 🤩

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

How ironic is it that I almost feel most confident going inside 50 when it’s McKay delivering the ball 🤪

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

@AnthP_ That 0-5 record as interim is very impressive I must admit.

Essendon Rd13 review 🆙 on #thebombersblog

Tough 💊 to swallow after a good start. Here I show the numbers between what worked early & changed later. Also had to express what I want in the future, immediately.

@ScooterMcNeice He was massive. Up there as our most talented player.

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

@tim_michell Maybe if we kicked the ball to our star key forward 🤪

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

@FootyLock6 It makes sense to be in meetings like this when you don’t have a coach, but I do suspect he might be a micro-manager.

e.g., I didn’t like that he sat it on meetings last year with draftees. I’d rather he just let Rosa and his team do their job.

As always, though, time will tell

Kane Cornes on this story:

"This is a selfish footy club…let the group get on with it. It’s not about you anymore, you have left and you have had your time...It’s everything wrong with the Essendon footy club summed up it one article."

Hi All, I've created a Patreon which I hope will get me closer to my dream of doing this full time (granted I already do more than 40 hours a week). If you find my work valuable and you can afford it, please consider subscribing. Much love to you all!

Just further to my last post on the Essendon coaching job, I understand the lure of Hird's return for Essendon fans (I am one). But in a hypothetical choice between him & John Longmire, I honestly don't see how you can possibly argue he's a better candidate, given Longmire's 63pc W/L over 300+ games, 5 GFs, a couple of successful refurbishments of the Swans, and his constantly vouched-for integrity and strength of character. I honestly can't think of a better-credentialled coach for what would be a mammoth task.

As for the "needs an Essendon person" theory, it shouldn't need saying (but clearly does) that...

(A) "Essendon people" (not just in the coaches box) have caused a lot of the club's grief these past two decades. Perhaps the perspective of a proven coach from a consistently successful and well-run club might be the way to go?
(B) Developing emerging talent and winning games of football creates momentum and passion of its own at ANY club, and...
(C) A certain Kevin Sheedy was a Richmond playing great who had no official connection at all with Essendon (other than following them as a kid).

Anyway, just some passing thoughts right now, I'm sure there'll be more as the soap opera that is the EFC continues.

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

@Bombers_Boss Do you have the link for that article?

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

This is just absolutely unreal TV.

Tom Morris and Nick Riewoldt cannot wipe the smiles off their faces that they get to talk about this 😂

[7AFL @7AFL]

"The view of the Hird camp is that last time, Dave Barham had essentially offered James Hird the job and the AFL said 'no you can't do this'."

I'm living in the film Yesterday except I'm the only person who can remember they did give Hird a second chance and he went 5-14 then quit mid-August.

Oh boy 🙈

@RobertSampimon Was on Agenda Setters on 7mate.

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

That interview was as classy as it gets.

It’s a shame the club didn’t let him speak so freely while he was coach. It would’ve been great for the fans who clearly weren’t on his side.

If we experience any success with this list, he should be the first person we credit.

[Max Laughton @maxlaughton]

Good news everyone, I’ve found the shortlist for Essendon’s next coach

[Jimmy @lbjamesy_]

Funniest thing would be if Gia throws his hat in the ring for the Essendon gig 💩
