, have not yet been officially ruled out by the club. One candidate, St Kilda assistant Brendon Lade, has moved to take up an assistant position under Luke Beveridge at the Western Bulldogs.
While Essendon are committed to running a thorough process to identify their next coach, the reality is that Scott’s experience – he coached the Kangaroos to two preliminary finals over nine and a half seasons and had three years at Collingwood as assistant to Mick Malthouse – means that he can be moved quickly into a “play-off” for the position with Yze, or even offered the job outright if the panel assesses him as the standout candidate.
Yze, who was narrowly beaten for the Greater Western Sydney senior coaching job by Adam Kingsley, has been interviewed twice by the Essendon coach-search panel, which consists of football boss Josh Mahoney, Hawthorn’s four-time premiership player Jordan Lewis, ex-Carlton premiership coach Robert Walls, board member Dorothy Hisgrove, ex-NAB chief executive Andrew Thorburn and leading netball coach Simone McKinnis.
Scott has spent the past three seasons at the AFL, having left the Kangaroos midway through the 2019 season, after losing the support of then-president Ben Buckley.
