I can understand the decision three and a half years in, still bottom four in all defensive metrics, too many players regressing.

no discernible game plan and some selection integrity issues.

But my main point is about the board and the text you read out touched on this.

The decision to extend Scott to a 50-year, two-year Ian to a four-year contract with no get-out clause is just utterly irresponsible.

I thought it at the time and now it's going to cost the club a million dollars and that's paid for by the members.

In the corporate world, people would lose their jobs over this, and it's just incredibly frustrating as a supporter, notwithstanding that I think they've made the right decision today.

Thank you.

Mate, I think we've finally made a good decision here, but it's the continued poor decisions that worry me and what he's done to the senior leaders at the club.

We've finally got some green shoots starting to come through with the young boys, but I don't know if they've got the right people in place to actually show them the way through.

I think Andy McGrath's a really good trying player, but he's never been there.

He's never done anything really in his career.

So how does he teach the next generation to become successful?

And seeing Craig Bozzo come back to tell a board how to actually run the club is also concerning as well.

He's had no success either.

We need to be looking to people that have actually had success to bring them into the club and get rid of the mediocrity before it really sets in and we're 20 years further down the track and sacking another coach.

I just want to acknowledge, firstly, Neil Danaher, everything he did for the club, but more importantly for the broader community.

I'll just say he was a champion and just very proud that he was an Essendon person as well.

I hated this player, watching him play against the different teams.

I hated the way he was just revered

on the field, but the person that I think should coach Essendon, and I don't know whether he's ever done the coaching courses, I don't know whether he's even thinking that way in terms of doing coaching, but the person that sat opposite you all via the phone at the start of your segment today really could do and shake up Essendon.
