I am a triple threat - full time communications professional, part-time lawn bowler and amateur playwright. Just not at the same time.

@Kyptastic1 @DanEddyBooks35 Lloyd up to 6, Merrett to 15 and Jobe Watson at 25.

Oh boy. Sponsor appoints coach in leadership position. Yeah, nothing to see here.

[Mitch Cleary @cleary_mitch]

Left-field one… Geelong coach Chris Scott has been appointed Chief of Leadership & Performance at Morris Finance - a key Cats sponsor

@ScooterMcNeice Stringer, Davey, Wanganeen, Hunter and Baldwin. All talented players who struggled with fitness or durability. Tough calls but isn’t this what we have been crying out for? I’m intrigued to see where this is heading.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

A plan announced more than 12 months ago. Seriously guys, do your job.

"I'd be flat if I was an Essendon supporter..."

Essendon has announced their three-year plan focused on the draft ... do their fans have every right to be frustrated about that messaging?

@ScooterMcNeice Kane Cornes: Essendon needs to stop allowing players run the show.

Also Kane Cornes: They need to make decisions for Zach Merrett’s sake.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@ScooterMcNeice This is very encouraging. Acknowledgment of the need to rebuild, a plan and a timeline. When’s the last time we had this as a fan base?

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

Love this team!

[New York Mets @Mets]

WE'RE MOVING ON!!! #METSWIN #LGM

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

This is why baseball is the best. Great moment, great story, brilliant call. Go Mets!

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

This might be the most perfect radio call I’ve ever heard, via the great Howie Rose.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

Welcome to the 21st straight season of Essendon having a foot in each camp - let’s win now while rebuilding.

[Essendon FC @essendonfc]

Good as gold for season 19 👊

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@ScooterMcNeice The only explanation for these moves would be that we are trading a ruckman and a key position player. There is no other reason for Goldstein and Weidemann to be at the club another year.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

His stats don’t tell the full story but Willem Drew has been incredible. Seems to be at every fall of the ball and is playing like a battering ram.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

Real change takes time to execute and embed so changing horses again after a couple of years is pointless. Let Barham cook.

[Callum Twomey @CalTwomey]

Dave Barham will seek re-election as Essendon president this year after implementing significant change over past two years.

He's at the end of a three-year term on the board, having joined in '15. Vice-president Andrew Welsh seen as the natural successor.https://t.co/er4l10r1Sr

@EthNick_ Here are some of the scores kicked against Hird’s ‘sorted’ defence in his first two years:

146
153
166
134
149
133
134
180!
156

This with players like Fletcher, Hurley and Hooker on the books. Let’s stop rewriting history.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@EthNick_ @lonious_the You seem to have missed a year. The 5-14 final year probably doesn’t suit the narrative.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@Bombers_Boss Completely agree on moving Merrett to half back. Martin, Duursma and Saad on the wings and Durham and Perkins swapping between half forward and midfield.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@Sammy__Edmund These players had all week to lobby for Heppell to play. Did they? If not, move on.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@jomagoo68 Come on. James Hird?? He was 5-14 in his last season as coach and hasn’t coached a minute in 10 years. Let’s stop looking for a saviour and do the hard yards to become a good club.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@ScooterMcNeice Spot on. But if he sticks with them then that’s on him.

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

@DonCaldwelll Isn’t the better question how many of these players have actually improved during their careers?

[Jason Silverii @the_extra_eye]

The performance is bad enough. But what’s most frustrating is that we know there will be no repercussions for the repeat offenders. This group of players has already ended two coaches and they are well on the way to a third. Scott needs to make wholesale changes next week.
