    Quote today from Chris Scott:

    "There won't be much cap space without Joel … he could have had us over a barrel and we would have paid him anything [to keep him] but he never did."

        Joel is taking up a new position at the Selwood Institute which is located on one of Tom Hawkins seven farms outside
        Geelong. He'll be joining his brothers in training young up-and-coming footballers in how to increase their Free Kick
        counts.

            Essendon is apparently going to announce Brad Scott in the next 24 hours as coach.

            He only applied for the job on Tuesday, and did one presentation, and I suuspect there's been bugger all due diligence done.

            Now, I think he did a good job at a struggling club with a just ok list. But to race to such a monumental decision is exactly why Essendon are such a crap club in the first place.

              Maybe they think that they're getting Chris?

                Everything about Essendon is crap, except the facilites at the Hangar. Given their turmoil of the last decade, it makes you thankful you follow the Swans, boringly steady as she goes!

                But we'll magically create cap space to bring in a heap of players from other clubs

                  So 11th hour blow in Brad Scott gets the Essendon gig!

                  Sent by the AFL to keep James Hird out of the job?

                    If Geelong was a small city in NSW and had a COLA, they could very well be in line for losing something for some of the shenanigans they've been up to. But that's in an alternative universe, so Geelong will continue along in a world without a salary cap. The AFL allow some clubs to have multi-year fantasy trips. Others are prohibited.

                      I reckon the AFL will try and prevent Bowes and pick 7 getting to the Cats. It’s a bad look in a premiership year.

                        I think a Trade Ban might be in order. [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

                            For a while now I have suggested to bomber mates that it is time to put Sheedy out to pasture. They aren't interested in that idea at all. Their lords and saviours are Sheedy and Hird.

                              Weird club that won't move on from its past

                                I think the past is all the Bombers have right now. I wonder how long Brad Scott will last. But I guess he'll get his
                                payout then sit around for another couple years till the next desperate club rings him. The blokes gotta eat I
                                suppose. I geuss you can't blame him.
