Don't know if it's the right pick, but Richmond champion Matthew nights is the Dons new coach.
Hopefully he can get some new youth through the club cause its time for a huge rebuiled

Interesting choice here from the Bombers. Knighter didnt do too much at the Port Magpies and struggled with the Bendigo Bombers so I'm wondering why they came to this decision? He's got a lot of mess to fix up with an aging core at Essendon.
Anyway, all the best to him. Being a Richmond fanatic, he is one of my all time favourite players. Best of luck Knighter!

WHAT!!!!! You have got to be kidding me, Peter Jackson needs a good smack in the head to make him wake up to himself. Replacing Sheeds with an untried coach who struggled coaching a VFL team. There goes any chance of a premiership any time soon. Not even a Bomber boy, Shame Jackson Shame : :

You dont know how Knights will go at Essendon - you aren't even giving a go. Hardwick, Harvey, Voss, O'Donell all would have been untried aswell. Either an untried coach or Thompson or Daniher, basically. Knighters a passionate bloke, he will give it his all just like he did his own footy.

I'm a big DONS fan and i must say BIG MISTAKE,,, he has never played in a final before what is he going to say to the players if they ever reach the final...
"""Ok guys i have never played a grand final but etc etc""" Hardwick would have been much better

Matthew must have been the cheapest out there, just so we can put some coin in the bank for when Bomber Thompson comes back

Is there a link to this information? Where did you hear it announced? Yesterday someone said Damian Hardwick got the job before being proven wrong and now you're saying Matty Knights, who a lot of people would not have had as their first prefference, got the job? I'm not doubting you, but citing a refference is usually a good thing to do when breaking news or claiming something that isn't (yet) common knowlege.

lol there's no way juddy will be a bomber.
Strange choice of coach, but I suppose anything would be better than sheeds at the moment.

It will be interesting to see how he goes, tough gig to follow Sheedy, whoever got it will live in his shadow for a while...

They got Knights to coach so that they would have heaps of money left over to get Judd. Smart move i reckon.

Wasn't knights several years ago as the captain, about to make club history at Richmond for playing the most consecutive games, when, the coach benched knights as an example to the rest of the team that no-one is indispensible. Knights retired, having been shafted by the club he served well for so many years.
Not sure how he stacks up as coach, but I hope he does well for us. I do like Knights. |

I agree bucknaked.. and feel that putting knights into the club could be what the bombers need.. he has already coached most of the younger players that have moved up from the V.F.L to the A.F.L and having that experience with the younger players could be a great benefit to the club also...

I am glad to see a fresh face. As much as I love Daniher as a player, I just don't think taking sacked coaches is the way to go. Good move for the club and I will be renewing my membership next year

I heard that Judd was a bombers supporter growing up. I imagine if Sheedy had stayed on, Judd would definatley consider joining the club. Maybe he'll do so with knights.

Neil Craig never played in an AFL Final.
Chris Connolly did not either and he made Fremantle more professional than anybody ever imagined... Dean Bailey at Melbourne didn't achieve a heap in football, yet impressed. What did Grant Thomas do? St Kilda's most successful coach since Allan Jeans. Knights was a great player. I wish him luck.
