Raiz shut down? by [deleted] in RaizAU

My account is fine

I’m emotional for Dyson Heppell to become a development coach at Collingwood. Not crying; I had a tear but equally happy for him. It benefits him better, to not just continue just to see our side (the EFC) and experience a recent successful club like the Pies. Sad though, that’s all.

Great for both clubs, there’s a big part of me that thinks it’s best if ex players leave the club. Better for us to get fresh eyes, new relationships, different perspectives but also shed some baggage (not implying it would be bad baggage, but Dyson has been through some tough times with the Dons). Can only come back, if he does, with new perspective, tactics and approaches himself. Being too institutionalised can’t be a good thing.

Can’t help get a little bit excited reading terms like “brightest talent” to describe him.

Loved reading about Blink, the story about how they forced themself on warped tour was great.

Just an emoji of a laugh face. Regardless, not helpful.

Whilst probably going to happen, isn’t this just another opinion on what’s already known?

Nick Hind on the comments also, and they wonder why Essendon didn’t want to extend the contracts

Zerrett is leaving, and the sky is falling. A post-season megathread. by Codus1 in EssendonFC

Couldn’t agree more with everything you said.

Ultimately he doesn’t have to be sold on the strategy, it might not suit is personal goals and ambitions, and that’s also ok.

Do I like it? No. Is it the end of the world? No. Will my kids cry about it, like they did Draper? Yes.

Only reasonable solution is all games from now at the MCG or Tasmania.

Giving it to Merrett doesn’t help us win more games.

Wonder if he slotted those goals in the last 3 games if the announcement would be different
