    Re: Brendan McCartney to Melbourne

    Good luck to McCartney. Will probably do well in a role he is best suited to.

    Good luck to B.Mac, taking on a role IMO he is much better suited too.

    McCartney
    A great result for the Demons. Macca will be a fine support to Roos and Goodwin and the fact that his services were secured so quickly highlights the high regard he is held in throughout the AFL competition. I have little doubt that his influence at the WB over the past three years will have paved the way for our new coach to enjoy a successful period.

    Both dickheads IMO. His B&F speech was very dickhead worthy.

    Lumumba strikes me as the kind of guy who doesn't mind being a bit of a dickhead.

    Heretier is dickheadish I would've thought.

    Don't like the fact that he happily called Tom Hawkins a "Fat *!*!*!*!", but then lambasts people for pretty minor indiscretions as being bigots, sexist & homophobic.

    I don't hate him, actually find his rants interesting and comical, but I would not want him at the doggies.

    Perfect role for BMac - I don't think he was ever suited to the main gig but his credentials as a development coach are impeccable. I wish him well.

    He can't get in the foetal position because his chronic knee injuries won't allow it

    Not being technical, but did he approach them, or them approach him? I read they approached him.

    Interesting either way and good luck to Brendan!

    I heard it that Essendon had approached him and asked him to apply (!?!?).
