Whooohoooo :P Go Bombers

[bunyip]

I read somewhere that Bomber was approached about a roll at Essendon as early as round 17. This whole thing with Bomber leaving is starting to get on the nose.
First of all, officials from another club approaching a senior coach of a team that will be playing in the finals is poor form.
Secondly it means Bomber has been lying to his employer for 2 or 3 months.
If this turns out to be true, then a pox on you and your house.
I don't have a problem with Bomber going back to you guys, but why lie about it to everyone?

[Alex7089]

The same reason Gary lied.
Didn't want to upset his club going in to finals.

[Boomz]

Or was it geelong that lied & he told them months ago he was done?

[bunyip]

I hear you Alex, but I don't know. Everyone knew Gazza was going. It seems to be the way for some people these days.
I just wish they could be more up front. and just say what they want to do.
Both Gazza and Bomber have a right to decide their own future, but I think we, as supporters deserved a bit better than this.
Anyway, good luck to him.

I doubt that Boomz. We'll never know the truth I guess.

[Boomz]

There was a "conspiracy" going around a while back that Sanderson pulled out of the running for the port job coz he knew bomber was going...

[bunyip]

Actually, I heard that to, but payed it scant regard.

It does seem a bit odd that he was said to be tired and dissatisfied  with coaching, but  a few weeks later he is ready to take on a senior assistant(or so I've heard) coaching position.

[HillHero13]

he said he is tired of senior coaching.. never ruled out going out of football at all..

not mention yes or no to senior assistant.. just doesnt want to be a head coach..

[Boomz]

True he worded it well but he mainly just stated he was burnt out... I didn't think he would do it but it seems certain to happen now.
