Brendan McCartney to Melbourne

[Murphy'sLore]

Maybe it makes sense, in a way… They could be looking for someone who is straight up and down, uncompromising, and will totally rebuild the club. One thing BMac always had was integrity. It could be just what they need.

That's a fair point. Apparently he made a big impression there in his time prior to coming to us. I'd be surprised if he ends up head coach though, maybe some kind of overseeing/advisory role in the coaching department.

As a match day coach and as an architect of a sustainable, successful playing style, I can't credit him much for his showing with us. However, he came in at a difficult time and stopped us from sliding to the very bottom of the ladder which we could have easily done, he deserves credit for this. We could have become a Melbourne or a Carlton and we are a much more vulnerable club in that situation.

It's possibly a ploy to try and demonstrate diligence in process. The job is Worsefold's if he wants it.

I think it's a ploy to get Cooney to quit and then they can save pocket his 2016 salary and try forget they traded pick 35 for him. Clever.

Bmac would be a good get for Essendon. Maybe it's going to be a double act Worsfold doing the tactical and match day stuff and Bmac overseeing a longer term strategic role?

[BornInDroopSt'54]

McC's exit from us was damn extraordinary, following gryphons abandoning ship. The bombers must read our rise this year to McC's cracking in, contested ball training. Little do they know that it's the recruiting that's done it.

I had actually blotted out the memory that he'd spent time at Essendon already. They should know what they're getting then. A Worsfold/BMac double act seems like a pretty good combo.

That's my suspicion as well. They're a dishonest club right to their very core.

Bmac spent a year with them and was very highly rated, if they use and abuse him just to masquerade, then it just confirms everything we already know about them.

Well Glen Jakovich claiming Worsfold has the job.

Robert Walls says Worsefold was an ordinary coach. Well of course Robert is famous for organising group beatings of his own players. If they quit the sport that just means they are not manly enough, so we really respect his opinion.

What's he saying? One premiership in 11 years with the Eagles. Sourpuss rant here. He has a point, eg. Eagles being a financial powerhouse, having Judd, Cox and a host of others and only a 53% win ratio. Oversaw the team during a time of toxic and rampant drug use hmmmmmm. Wait.

He's perfect for Essendon!

I also thought his article was distasteful, especially considering he has been in France for a few years.

John and Jimmy together in France, imaging the social and training substance program they could have worked out together.
