Essendon 2013

Sports Science????

Thought they would have had enough of that out there by now!!!!!!

Sorry should of said legitimate sports science

[Mr Beefy]

More than happy with Bomber Thompson getting the job but I'm appalled at Craigy getting on the payroll. He must have something to offer that we can't see and that was missed by the Crows and Melbourne

I'm no fan of his but he did coach the cows for 6 or 7 years, if he had nothing to offer he wouldn't have lasted that long. And did Melbourne have a choice, you dont get sacked in the morning and end up somewhere else in the afternoon without something already being in place.

Bomber announced as interim coach
Goodwin promoted to senior assistant
Neil Craig, director of coaching

What role has Bass got?

making sure the needles are sharp

[Hondo]

I think Craig's role of "Director of Coaching" became redundant at Melbourne once Roos was appointed rather than him bring sacked for poor performance as such . I'll stand corrected there. And, yes, a long stint at the Crows with a high W-L ratio up until the last 12 months.

I assume it's only a one year deal at Essendon anyway?

Did you mean Neeld or Needle?

[Squids]

When are the infraction notices coming, shouldn't be too far away now.

Couple of weeks probably.
Can see 3-6 month bans for players and 2 years for Hird

[dedja]

just extend his contract by a couple of years, problem solvererd ...

[tigerhutch]

perhaps he could go to sydney ... they offer long contracts

[Q.]

If Ahmed Saad is getting rubbed out for over a year, surely these infraction notices will be the full penalty as well?!

Surely.




Doubt it though.

[Jim05]

I believe the differance is Saad returned 2 positive tests. No Essendon player has ever returned a positive test.
Also the penalty will be reduced thanks to Essendon coming forward.
Would be surprised if players copped the full 2 years

[Squids]

Whens Jobe handing the Brownlow back?
