Assistant coaches merry go round

That's a shame, guess he feels he needs to broaden his horizons.

Although it is sad to see him go, it is also a win win. He gets to see another club and how they operate, and we have to replace him with fresh coach, fresh ideas.

[jeemak]

I wonder if we get in someone with substantial experience from elsewhere rather than reinstating somebody who unfortunately lost their job last month.

[SonofScray]

Excellent.

Hopefully we get someone who is going to be a strong voice and find some improvement across the group now.

[comrade]

I wouldn't be surprised if we bring back a coach that was let go due to COVID (Corey or Russell).

Although going to The Bummers might see Gia influence Dunks to go.

I would suggest that's a long bow to draw

He would be closer to Bont than Gia.

Don't know if it is that long G. Not saying it will work. But Gia has a new employer now. We've seen it with Bevo bringing a few Hawks players in where he was an asst coach. Bevo was also close to Clokey from his time at Collingwood.

Considering he is so popular with the players franked by his recent award, do Essendon see him as a conduit between a disillusioned player group and the coaches?

I am expecting this. We really need to take this opportunity to freshen up the group, but i think loyalty will win out based om our track record.

Maybe. I'm not convinced that Corey or Russell would automatically accept. A bit awkward perhaps knowing that when push came to shove and staff had to go, they were the one's identified as most expendable.

Until this year Gia has been the VFL coach and Dunks doesn't play in the VFL. The more likely scenario to me is that they might not be as close as some might think.

I reckon Russell would see coaching the VFL team a great opportunity.

There's a hierarchy in everything. I think they'd be pretty understanding of it and appreciative of an offer to come back.

Like clockwork.

No idea how good Russell is or isn't, but it's disappointing we didn't even survey the rest of the field.

We really need some fresh ideas and voices.
