@liparota Exactly

Only three number 1s have won flags. Banfield, Hodge and Rayner.

And only Brisbane has won flags with a number 1 pick from finishing last. WC and Hawks traded for those pick 1s.

And none of those players were the best in their draft year either.

@Bombers_Boss You want us to tank?

@KingCaucus @WacoKid15 @GalaxyOtter @dsr150250 lol what? Civilization started with White Catholicism?

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@WacoKid15 @GalaxyOtter @dsr150250 Since when?

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@TW4750 @FlightPlanPod @tim_michell Hmm not sure the Bowes one is fair in any terms. It’s probably up there with one of the worst.

Essentially, that was allowing a club to buy an early first round pick for money. Not what the draft is supposed to be about.

@NDhillon82 @CalTwomey Do you understand what Cal is referring to here when he says “pay up” this year?

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@Anneeokeefe @BConn39 He wasn’t a journo. He was on the production crew for SBS. Camera operator I think.

@AOates54418 @CharlieDons Because most of the people saying that probably don’t go to the game.

They probably don’t even watch the full game on TV.

@ScooterMcNeice To be fair EFC invites this speculation due to our poor record with interview processes:

Didn’t wait to speak to Bomber in 07
Sham process with Hird in 2010
Botched the Bomber/Hird transfer in 14/15
No process with Woosha
No process with Rutten
Had to chase Scott to convince him

@FlightPlanPod The most underrated in my time was Joe Misiti. I don’t think many Essendon supporters understand how good he was. Diesel like with his vision and handball out of packs.

Others that come to mind are

Mark Johnson
Mark McVeigh
Caracalla
Myers

@69bob69bob @Zookilux @Mootha27 OK but you asked about Tom Morris.

Tom Morris works for SEN and is a contributor to the morning show with Gary and Tim.

Hence why I stated I think that’s what he is going off. 🤷‍♂️

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@69bob69bob @Zookilux @Mootha27 You tell me 🤷‍♂️

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@69bob69bob @Zookilux @Mootha27 Mornings, Gary and Tim on the way to work.

Also listen on the drive home but when they did the call back and texts/poll it was in the morning with Gary and Tim.

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@Zookilux @69bob69bob @Mootha27 Do you listen to it? Obviously not. I did.

The numbers didn’t just come from calls. It came from texts, polls to the station.

Most callers supported Hird and were happy and upbeat.

The few callers ranting were against Hird, and were still unhappy about the supplement saga.

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@Zookilux @69bob69bob @Mootha27 Yes. Not sure what you are getting at though.

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@Zookilux @69bob69bob @Mootha27 And how do you know that?

It also wasn’t just people calling. It was text messages and polls.

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@Zookilux @69bob69bob @Mootha27 They don’t need to.

It’s just whether the ones that are calling truly reflect the actual ratio for all members.

While I don’t know if it is actually 80%, I do know support for Hird isn’t minimal. And is large enough to cause issues for anyone else who takes the job.

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@69bob69bob @Mootha27 I think he is probably going off the texts and callers to SEN.
Apparently 80% in favour of Hird.

@DamoSmith85 @mariotomich So cutting?

[smiling brick @smilingbrick]

@ar__rxn @REALCampoCC @2020digging @RonnyLerner He coached 2011.
We got smashed by Carlton, but he coached one.
