Brad Scott has been relieved of his duties as head coach of Essendon Football Club following a dismal start to the 2025 season, where the team has managed only one victory in 11 matches, placing them last on the ladder. Scott, who took charge at the beginning of the season, has seen his team equal a club-record losing streak of 17 games. His overall coaching record with the Bombers stands at 29 wins, 50 losses, and one draw. This decision comes after a particularly heavy defeat to Richmond, a match that highlighted the Bombers' struggles despite the Tigers facing significant injury challenges. Scott had previously signed a one-year extension in March 2025, aiming to stabilize the club, but the situation has led to the search for a new head coach, marking the third change in leadership in just five seasons. Before his time at Essendon, Scott had a successful coaching career at North Melbourne and was a two-time premiership player with the Brisbane Lions.
