\u201cI\u2019ve tried to recruit \u2018Solly\u2019 in the past as an Assistant Coach and I\u2019m rapt that we\u2019ve been able to secure his services this time around. We have been working on this plan for several weeks now, and it\u2019s great that he has been able to jump out of his Board role and back into our Football Department,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is vastly experienced as a football person who will add a layer of strength to our coaching group and be a key pillar in helping to develop and grow our list.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving coached and played against him, we have aligned philosophy on how the game should be played, and his addition to our group makes us stronger, which we are all excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bombers president Andrew Welsh declared this was \u201cthe best use\u201d of Solomon at the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen looking to fill the vacant position within our coaching team, Brad (Scott), \u2018Vozz\u2019 (Craig Vozzo), Daniel (McPherson), and I were considering who is out there and the best available talent across the industry,\u201d Welsh said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it was first raised to me about \u2018Solly\u2019 joining the coaching group, it made me consider what the best use for him at the Club was. He has been invaluable to us on the Board, but taking into account everyone\u2019s views, it was clear that it was an opportunity that we couldn\u2019t pass up, and that\u2019s when we first approached \u2018Solly\u2019 about the role.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Solly\u2019 needed to take a lot into consideration, including relocating from NSW, but after careful thought, he embraced the opportunity, and we were rapt that he accepted this role as an Assistant Coach to get back into the trenches and help fast-track the development of the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cA process is already underway to fill Dean\u2019s vacant board position, with that person having a football background to ensure we still maintain football expertise at board level. We expect to make an announcement on the new Director in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Essendon board member Dean Solomon has stepped down to join the club\u2019s coaching panel, in a unique move.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-235157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
