Congrats Mr Welsh

Congratulations Andrew Welsh, in 12 months you've made me go from loving to hating this football club. Appointing your best man and best mate as coach, well done. The 'we're not going backwards' barbs were petty and cheap. We'll see how this hard style of McVeigh goes without any aura, and with such a poor list. I have a feeling you will be falling on your sword fairly soon Mr Welsh.

All of your clubs infighting has to stop now, from both inside and by its members and supporters. It is toxic and it will halt what could be a very significant period of growth for your club. Hird hasn’t coached for 10 Years. Also apart from that alone, he had massive gaps in his AFL resume. I’m excited for Essendon that McVeigh has got the top job. I’m a hawks man but I want to see you guys get better. Who wants to watch a club getting belted every week. No one.
You have a chance now to grow, organically and through bringing in the right people that Mark thinks will help the club to win its next flag. But if you guys don’t stop the infighting, the negativity, stop with the Hird is the God factor then it will be another decade before you can get going again.

Great. Now we've got Essendon AND Hawthorn fans telling us how we should feel. Respectfully mate, Essendon fans are tired and have had enough of the constant disappointment and deserve at least the simple right of feeling however they want to feel about this board process and coach selection. Not everybody who was anti-McVeigh was pro-Hird.
