"Like Carlton, Essendon's long suit is sacking coaches... it might be the only thing they're good at." Hyundai Australia | #AFL

@1116sen @HyundaiAus Whateley has literally been cheerleading for a sacking all year. This is so hilarious

@1116sen @HyundaiAus “What a shocking morning for a sacking… now we’ll talk about the sacking for 2 hours and talk Neale at 11”. Give us a spell Gerard

@1116sen @HyundaiAus This guy is an embarrassment. Week after week he spits total drivel while proclaiming himself up as “the voice” of sport. All because some US media heard him calling the Superbowl once. Absolutely awful on the radio, in the commentary box & in the paper. He needs the sack next.

@HyundaiAus I just looked up 'pontificate' in the Oxford Dictionary: @GerardWhateley

@HyundaiAus This self important wanker spends all year trying to get coaches sacked then has a go at the clubs and their supporters when a coach actually gets sacked, just go away

@1116sen @HyundaiAus You’re wrong, sacking coaches isn’t the issue. Picking the wrong ones is

@HyundaiAus Their new coach 😑🤫

@1116sen @HyundaiAus Dead set flog is Whateley. Just reads statements that are written for him in that shitful tone of his

@HyundaiAus Gerard, the decision was made before the sad passing of Neale Daniher, and was held back from release out of respect. Some idiot leaked it. So, stop with the hate you have about EFC. This member was notified by email THIS morning. Media are a joke.

@1116sen @HyundaiAus If only SEN had the courage to sack you, the football world would be slightly more bearable.

@HyundaiAus Fucking Gerrardd. Champions a coach sacking on his TV and radio shows then when it happens, lays the boots into the club for doing so.

@HyundaiAus Who writes this dribble for him and why does he read it out in this condescending, kindergarten teacher tone?

@HyundaiAus Oh shut up Gerard, not sure what you actually expected to happen but Brad Scott was given every chance! Yes Andrew Walsh would like his "he will be our premiership coach" comment back but on and off field things were going backwards.

@HyundaiAus and what are you good at Ge rard? Tell us about your playing record and/or coaching record, I do not care at what level. An empty vessel making empty noise.

@HyundaiAus What absolute nonsense from a footy nerd. You always back your coach in until you don’t. This idiotic idea of having to have a coach forever until things turn is simply hopeful. Brad had plenty of time to coach at least a system.

@1116sen @HyundaiAus Another embarrassing take on the subject. What are teams meant to do here? Just sit on their hands forever? Is one win in 25 games not enough?

@HyundaiAus You're a fucking joke Gerald

@1116sen @HyundaiAus No one cares what you have to say anymore mate.

@HyundaiAus Between you and Andy Maher I can’t listen to SEN anymore…. Now that is a couple of sackings I would cheer and make the new AFL a little more bearable.

@HyundaiAus Sanctimonious BS from Gerard has become his go to. He would do well to reflect on how much more illuminating his commentary was before he became the ‘big star’ he is today. Funny, Robbo did the same on 360. Early editions watchable. Last 5 years of Robbo largely dribble.

@HyundaiAus Sorry that this news is such an inconvenience to you Gerard. Were Essendon meant to wait a day or 2? How do you combine the sad news of the passing of Neale Daniher and Essendon sacking a coach in the same sentence.

@HyundaiAus They are good at hiring shit coaches and persisting too long when that’s obvious. They are in fact not good at sacking coaches. If they were, they would do it earlier and not during the season, wasting another year. Usual useless analysis from Whateley.

@HyundaiAus this pretentious flog is so predictable, he's the cheer leader for a coach sacking all season long and then when it actually happens he's the first one to call it a disgrace

@1116sen @HyundaiAus How pathetic. The decision gets made and then the news comes through about Daniher. To sully Neale’s name with the announcement of the decision is abhorrent, a very low performance. Hang your head in shame

@1116sen @HyundaiAus These monologues after every coach sacking are getting tedious

What did you want Essendon to do

STFU Mr Sanctimonious You lot have been white anting Brad Scott out of Essendon all year. You don't get to lecture to Essendon. You are just another 2 bit Essendon hater.

@HyundaiAus Look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning at The Hangar at your new coaching role Gerard.

@1116sen @HyundaiAus He’s insufferably smug and hyperbolic. Don’t know what has happened to Gerard but he’s become the most predictable poseur in sports media today

@1116sen @HyundaiAus A bit like Voss and B Scott, Gerard has also gone from credibility to embarrassment once he left ABC. Shock-jock and Hutchy’s marionette

@1116sen @HyundaiAus Brutal from the moral guardian of the sport & keeper of the game …

@1116sen @HyundaiAus Voss quit you numpty

@HyundaiAus Ess En DONE. #WHATEVERITTAKES #NOTGUILTY

@1116sen @HyundaiAus Undoubtedly the best part of any coach sacking, any footy story really, is the Gerards soliloquy written the night before - dictated fireside no doubt - over a glass of wine, some classical music and with his dick firmly in his hand.

@HyundaiAus Gerard has changed. He once orbited Dennis Commetti’s aura but now he’s just living in Kane Cornes’ shadow.
