Have good mail he's looking for a new assistant coaching role away from Essendon. Has a meeting with GC this week.

Would fit in well at Richmond I would have thought? Good Pedigree with Matthews and Sheedy as Head Coaches..
Go Tigers!

DO you mean "he isn't wanted anymore at Windy Hill"

I've listened to him speak at a few functions over the years and I must say he doesn't come across as all that inspiring
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

Must admit its questionable why he's been an assistant for so long with no links to being a Senior Coach. Even after Knights was dumped. Might be right Jack maybe he isn't much chop, decent pedigree though.
Go Tigers!

Amazing amazing hit!

I was about 10 years old then and after that had the number 41 on my back until Turner retired!

Ge it was a good hit, your spot on brackets GOD was smashing us.

Would have been rubbed out for 8 weeks today lol

Would rather we chase someone like Todd Viney, but he's probably got some years to run on his contract at Adelaide
Hardwick would have a good working relationship with him from Hawthorn in 2008

Wonder if we can get Neil Balme back at the club with all the crap going on at Geelong

Scotty would have gotten 12 weeks for that under the new rules.
