Thompson would be mad to want to leave a team he's built from scratch that is now in their premiership window to start all over again at Essendon.

A 5-year deal also says the Bombers themselves admit their list is in a shocking state after topping up under Sheeds for the past 5 years.

He did.

The Bombers are taking a huge risk as they'll have to wait for the start of October to find out. If they miss out on their man then they'll be still searching for a new coach during trade week. Not to mention the EGM that they're now having to deal with.

Stability at Richmond and self-implosions at Essendon. Sweet  :thumbsup.

He is there preferred option, although he might be hard to get.
Guy McKenna next option

The only difference is Plough wasn't asked to dump a team in premiership mode for a rabble  ;)

What about Neale Daniher? Some at Essendon think he's a show if Thompson says no.

According to Ch 10 late news, Bomber Thompson has told the Bombers no and Damien Hardwick will be named Essendon's new coach within the next 48 hours.
