their list is not as much of a rabble as you'd think. they were playing ok footy at the start of the season in spite of the interrupted preseason. _________________ Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle. |

Spot on Jock. And they made the finals the last two years running. See here for more: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/why-the-essendon-coaching-job-is-the-one-to-take-over-carlton-adelaide-20150819-gj2o6a.html _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

Donald McDonald would be worth a try. Someone on SEN mentioned him last year and read out McDonald's resume and after hearing it I was staggered that he'd never landed a senior coaching gig. |

Robert Walls.With Hird having let the players down and placed their careers in jeopardy a workplace bull (ask Strempel) would hardly be a good fit. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

Dig a little deeper and you'll find they have some good kids. Excellent might be taking that too far but their best 22 (if they can retain Carlisle) is still pretty handy despite your opinion of Goddard, Stanton and Hooker. |

Essendon played finals last year and would have in 2013 if not for the AFL penalties. There form this season prior to the WADA appeal was solid. They beat the hawks.
It's clear the players are mentally shot now and you can't produce competitive AFL perfomances in that environment.
They've also copped a fair few injuries I believe.
If they escape bans and mass walkouts of players then no reason why the new coach can't turn them around pretty quickly.
Still in a better position than the scum. ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

If they clean out the board at Essendon, don't be surprised if Bomber doesn't consider a return to the club. He had them looking better than they'd looked for the better part of a decade. They almost won the elimination final last year from memory. |

You'd imagine there won't be too many changes to the board prior to the coach being appointed. |
