@RedJules4 @tweeter_vee @essendonfc Don’t get so upset, angry and passionate over someone you met once 30 years ago. Remember “It’s not that important”

@tweeter_vee @essendonfc That’s okay. We’re allowed to disagree over sport. It’s not that important. Scott inherited a total shitshow, set up to fail. Brad is a highly intelligent and passionate person. I’ve met him and trust him (back when he played for Hawthorn). He’s genuine. EFC let him down.

James Hird is a low-life piece of shit. Not even one mention of the barriers Brad Scott would have been up against (mostly created by Hird himself). Completely dysfunctional club. #FootyClassified #AFL #ESSENDONFC @essendonfc

@ScooterMcNeice He works on the telly, he was always gonna be asked the question. So there was no way he could say no, he would've crucified... Again

In some ways its a pretty genius approach from James HIrd. The process of likely strong candidates just halved by Hird pitching for the role on national tv. Yes he calls for the coaching process to be thorough but it wont be with many candidates now pulling out

@FOXFOOTY This bloke has become a parody

"You make yourself look foolish ... Essendon has just become the worst cliche in footy!" The Bombers trapped themselves with their own words before sacking Brad Scott, says #AFL360's Gerard Whateley.

Dustin Fletcher played exactly 400 VFL / AFL games, and each of these nine men played in at least one of them. How many can you name? Fletch is joining us at the bar this week. #TheFrontBar | Wednesday | 8.30pm AEST 📺

@1116sen Is sacking 3 coaches in 15 years a lot? Knights, Rutten and Scott..

@ScooterMcNeice Corey Enright has left a trail of destruction in Geelong due his mishandling of ownership of hotels. Owes quite a few people some money

Corey Enright🤔

@FootyLock6 We haven’t really had leaks for awhile and now Wilson and Morris are claiming disgruntled assistant coaches are talking..

It’s such an interesting discussion, like, if Morris believes Scott hasn’t lost the players, you have to believe him don’t you? Because you’d think he’d jump on if it were the opposite. It also doesn’t sound like he’s confident on a sacking after the next 2, more a discussion?

@3AWisfootball Tony should put a line through himself

@AlbertThurgood @AFLNow What was the deleted post?

@AFLNow But doing an Achilles is?

@SteveHunts37 @CalTwomey The amount of mouth breathing morons that do not know that could’ve or could have is not “could of” is baffling…

@CalTwomey They could of just traded Merrett and Ridley for picks, keeping them was just stubborn & the team is still shit. Fuck the handouts - make better club decisions

West Coast, North Melbourne & Gold Coast have put out their hands for AFL assistance packages in recent years. Essendon should be asking this year. But would the AFL give it? More in Cal-culations - Murphy magic, Brisbane belting, Rachele, FOS and more👇afl.com.au/news/1527278/c…

@schultzy_j This whole discussion from both sides is like pissing in the wind... You, Me, Jon Fucking Ralph and the neighbours ferret know sweet fuck all on how this will end up... So pretending otherwise is laughable...

Would love to see what all the media “experts” think now about whether they’d rather Essendon or Carlton’s list #baggers #AFLPowerBlues #AFLDonsTigers

@Champ_Ratings @WesleySouthcott Even your Mum doesn't like you...

@WesleySouthcott Fuck, I played a pretty good level of footy for 15 years. My mother watched 1 game

Is this piss poor from KB who I've loved to listen to over the years on radio. He was invited for one of footballs great moments yesterday that won't happen again in his lifetime and what does he do? Goes to watch the VFL.

@Knight_Ryders @JonathanJWalsh Agreed, he’s not our next premiership coach and he’s certainly one to withstand the current heat.. The big question is can the board? I think they think they can BUT the media and the unwashed are gonna continue trying to burn it

@JonathanJWalsh I think they’ll bunker down I’m not sold he’s our next premiership coach but I just don’t see the point of sacking him with the cattle we have I also agree that I’ve seen nothing from the club to suggest it is curtains

Do Essendon peeps really think Brad will be sacked? I can’t see it happening I’m struggling to rationalise and articulate it but just can’t see the club doing it

@Jonesracing82 @LeagueTees The constant search of the media to create a story which hopefully leads to a sacking or worse

It's not that we've forgotten how to enjoy it, it's that we just simply don't like what your constant agenda pushing has turned the game into. No1 ever goes to footy thinking "i hope the PA is turned up to 11 today so i can't hear myself think & can't hear those next to me spk".

@NickMcCallum7 @CollingwoodFC Lets hope its windy

The ⁦⁦@CollingwoodFC⁩ cheer squad makes the banner for Scott Pendlebury’s record breaking 433rd game on Saturday.They say it’s the most important banner since the club left Victoria Park in 1999.A month’s planning..12 hours’ work for 20 people to make it. 6pm #7NewsMelb

@JonathanJWalsh @JChall22 Thats good to hear quite frankly. Joyce may be another that needs to be replaced

Don’t get the frustration re Vozzo. If you aren’t looking to improve and move forwards always, You move backwards. To think Essendon (or any club) are perfect and can’t learn from anyone else is naive & stubborn. Glad they’re continuously looking into this #GoDons

@AndrewPhilippou Someone discovered ChatGPT

If the club fails to move on Brad Scott at the end of this season, then after 46 years as a member, I will seriously consider terminating my membership. The problems at the club now go far beyond the senior coach alone — there also needs to be a forensic review of the development department, line coaches, and the entire football department structure. This is my reasoning, and the numbers are damning. Results have collapsed 7 wins in the last 72 weeks. 1 win in the last 365 days. Brad Scott’s record 2023: 11 wins — 48% win rate 2024: 11 wins — 48% win rate 2025: 6 wins — 26% win rate 2026: 1 win — currently 11% The trend is not improvement — it is regression. Essendon coaches over the past 20 years — win percentages James Hird — 49% Mark Thompson — 47% John Worsfold — 39% Ben Rutten — 43% Kevin Sheedy (final years) — 43% Matthew Knights — 33% Brad Scott — 36% and falling For a coach brought in to stabilise and rebuild the club, those numbers are simply not acceptable. The KPI situation is extraordinary I have never heard of a senior coach effectively setting his own KPIs and presenting them to the board for appraisal. That completely defeats the purpose of independent accountability. It sounds absurd for a professional football club. Development remains a major failure Every year we hear about another review of the development department, yet nothing changes. Players such as Cox, Perkins and Jones have not developed anywhere near as well as they should have. The jury is still out on Reid as well. At some point the responsibility falls on the senior coach. Brad Scott, the buck stops with you. The game plan looks confused There is no visible consistency, identity, or cohesion. Week after week the system appears reactive rather than structured. Players look uncertain, supporters are frustrated, and the overall direction feels unclear. What exactly is the rebuild timeline? A proper rebuild usually takes 3–5 years, but only when the right foundations are already in place: elite assistant coaches strong development systems clear recruiting strategy stable football department leadership Scott effectively began this rebuild in 2025. So what happens now? Do we extend him until 2030 and simply hope things improve? Retention of young talent is becoming a real danger Do people seriously believe rival clubs are not already monitoring players like Caddy, Roberts, Farrow, Kako, May and Robey? If the club continues losing at this rate, young talent will inevitably start looking elsewhere for better opportunities, stronger environments, and more successful programs. The handling of Elijah Tsatas makes no sense Tsatas was a top-five draft pick and is out of contract at the end of the season, yet we still do not know whether he can become a consistent AFL player because he has never been given a genuine sustained opportunity. The facts are: In 2025, he had the second-lowest game time of any senior player at 52%. In 2026, he has the sixth-lowest game time at 70%. He has played only three senior games this season despite the club winning just once — and he played well in that win. His averages over the past two years show a massive gap between AFL and VFL opportunity: Disposals: AFL 24.0 | VFL 32.4 Kicks: AFL 9.7 | VFL 16.6 Contested possessions: AFL 7.7 | VFL 12.6 Uncontested possessions: AFL 16.3 | VFL 18.0 Clearances: AFL 3.7 | VFL 7.8 Tackles: AFL 1.3 | VFL 3.8 Centre bounce attendances: AFL 57% | VFL 79% This player deserves more than isolated appearances. He should be given the remainder of the season in the senior side so the club can make a proper assessment of his future. Instead, Scott has continued backing players such as Setterfield, Parish and others who have already had years to prove themselves and are unlikely to still be there when the rebuild is complete. That is not long-term thinking. It is short-term survival coaching. Many supporters have lost confidence in the current direction of the club.

@OdogOffLeash @TMZ How about calling them cunts…

@TMZ Wow, 😳😮😲⁉️ she’s singing a new tune…. For years she and hubby Barack Obama called them racists, supremacists or Nazi’s. I wish they’d make up their minds. 💥🤷‍♀️

😬 Michelle Obama says MAGA movement is full of desperate people, not racists. bit.ly/49S8gM7 🎥: Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso

@ScooterMcNeice @m505687 It’s in his best interests to get out of this town.. Play footy somewhere completely different (And increase his market value for us)

@m505687 Here was I thinking his preference was in Victoria

Crows showing firm interest in Zac Merrett. Guarantee he leaves at the end of the year and will go to a club outside of Victoria. Adelaide’s the one to watch in this
