Suns boss has great hindsight: Worsfold
Essendon coach John Worsfold has resisted the urge to fire back at Gold Coast chairman Tony Cochrane on behalf of assistant Guy McKenna.
Cochrane voiced his support for Suns coach Rodney Eade on the weekend, while having a dig at McKenna.
The boss of the Suns, who continue to struggle while fellow AFL expansion side Greater Western Sydney go from strength to strength, suggested the club erred in hiring McKenna as foundation coach.
"They made some chronic errors (at the start) ... we were in a bit of a mess, to be honest, before Rodney turned up," Cochrane told radio station SEN.
"There's no way we should have had a junior coach."
McKenna was sacked in 2014 and is now working as an assistant coach at the Bombers, while he played alongside Worsfold at West Coast.
Worsfold claimed after Sunday's AFL clash at Etihad Stadium that he hadn't heard Cochrane's comments.
When told of them, Worsfold made his thoughts about Cochrane clear but opted against biting back.
"Does he also think maybe they needed him as chairman at the start? Because he could have made all those calls," Worsfold said of Cochrane, who joined the Suns' board in 2014.
"He's got great hindsight.
"But good on him, he's doing well."
