Scott Sacked as Essendon Coach

Brad Scott has been sacked as Essendon coach after the team's dismal start to the 2026 AFL season, winning just one of their first 11 games.

Brad Scott has been relieved of his coaching duties at Essendon with over a year remaining on his contract. The 50-year-old coach pays the price for the Bombers' terrible form, which saw them anchored to the bottom of the ladder after an ugly loss to Richmond on Friday night.

Dean Solomon is reportedly being considered as a potential interim boss to take over the struggling side. Essendon now faces the challenge of finding a new leader to turn around their disappointing season. newsindata.com
