Essendon

[Lightning McQueen]

As opposed to BT who butchers nearly everything?

At least he's on the tv, I can turn that down, I can't turn the radio down LOL

[Lightning McQueen]

Media hyping up Hinkley to coach Essendon, who coaches Port then?

What a backhanded slap that would be to all the Ken haters, Gary Napa would be ropeable.

Like an organ transplant, you get rejected after 2 years.

Ross "still" the boss

Perhaps with several women on our board Ross wasn’t keen for any “digging” that would be required as part of the selection process

And that's the problem right there.
He doesn't want to talk about it because maybe there was something in the freo investigation.
If I was a board member I'd want to know.
He won't/can't say so that rules him out of coaching full stop.

It was common knowledge he made an inappropriate comment to a female staffer at a Freo function. Were there other allegations?

How could he? The only way they could get him on board would be to simply offer him the job and make it impossible to say no to the deal. He's hardly going to invest in a 4 or 5 week process.

I think allegedly following said person around all night and making numerous comments on her breasts coupled with a six figure payout to the victim that clubs might want to delve a bit deeper

Hird has interviewed for the job

Hird has interviewed for the job

This would be one of the most backward steps in a clubs history

[Jim05]

Hird has interviewed for the job

He is more than entitled to apply for it like anyone else but I’d be absolutely staggered if any selection panel considered him the best candidate

way things are going he might be the only candidate

Yep. Probably would earn the bronze medal IMO, after Ken Hinkley's last couple of contract extensions of course.

Yze, Hird, Lade and 1 other did their interviews today at Ernst & Young. Still a few more to go through in coming days but yes a pretty narrow field

I have no doubt Lewis would endorse him, wonder what Wallsy thinks…

Brad Scott and Don Pyke were the other one.

How does he even meet the criteria to get an interview?

Still some at the club who want him back and apparently talked him into going through the process. I would hope the panel would cross his name off pretty quickly though

It's what the Today show reported this morning in between the Queens casket updates.
