Is Brad Scott on borrowed time at Essendon?

About this episode

The episode discusses the future of Brad Scott as Essendon's coach and explores coaching changes in the AFL.

Caroline Wilson expects the Bombers will say bye-bye to their coach by the bye round, but fellow panellists Michael Gleeson and Jake Niall think Brad Scott has more time than that to lift his embattled club. And what does the coaching merry-go-round mean for Luke Beveridge? Our panelists have a left-field suggestion for the Western Bulldogs coach. Plus, we review all the major talking points from round 11. Support the show: https://subscribe.theage.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
