100% correct

however followers of the news on the internet always know better...

its why they are where they there...and the people making the decisions are getting paid hundreds of g's whilst others are stuck in a desk working 'for the man' wasting away

Bomber Thompson must've done a deal with the Cats and knocked the Dons back.
Knights = fall back position?
Did the bookies even have Knights listed as a chance to coach?

What I don't get is why blokes like Knights weren't mentioned when we were looking for a coach last year.

McKenna, Longmire, Bond and Lyon were the four short-listed candidates for the St Kilda job.

Of the three remaining, none were ever seriously in the running for any of the coaching jobs this year.

I never heard Dean Bailey's name mentioned last year, nor Hardwick's nor Knights' nor Ratten's nor Sumich's.

Interesting how things can change quickly ... seems to be based a lot on perception rather than reality.


In 10 years time, it will be good to look back on this period, and see who turns out to be the better coach from Lyon, Harvey, Bailey, Knights and Ratten.


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

Obviously you know him, or know of him, but don't let emotion get in the way of your retorts. When you start having a go at others, they will have a go back. And particularly when you are wrong in the same post as telling someone else they have 'no idea', it makes your case look pretty poorly.

Bombers favoured to name Knights as new coach

Former Richmond captain Matthew Knights is believed to be announced as the new coach of Essendon as early as Thursday evening.

SEN Radio in Melbourne has reported that the coach of the Bendigo Bombers in the VFL has edged out Damien Hardwick as the successor to Kevin Sheedy.
