Ex Port Magpies Coach to be new Bombers Coach

[-]

Somehow I think the SA Bloods have done better than the victorian bloods

They obviously didn't take into account his time at Alberton and the reasons why he left!!

Do tell?

Best coming from a Port supporter who would know! Let's just say the Players, Management and Board all hated him by the time he left!

except paul belton who left because of it (the 'sacking')

Intriguing decision by Essendon. Pram Lady could coach better IMO.

Maybe I should have applied. If they appointed Knights I surely would have stood a chance.

Cant understand this decision by essendon. Hardwick would have been a much better choice. Heck anyone would have been. The only thing I can think of is that they are looking for a scape goat for the next three years as they will be tanking hard. Blame the coach sac him and then a favourite son returns and wtih a few priority draft picks leads them out of the darkness.

Hows that pretty close.

If they actually believe he can do the job then its more like this:

Remember Grep Chappels appointment as India's coach........."I guess nobody checks references anymore"
