A couple of weeks back when the AFL360 with King and Maclure were on discussing coaching moves. I think it was Maclure who said Blake to Essendon. I remember thinking then that Robbo didn't go into his usual over the top reaction when he hears something he hadn't heard before. I just put it down to him being drunk, but now I reckon the industry have known about this move, or the makings off it, for some time.
Which would in turn mean Benny and Balme would have been out in the market scouting/approaching the replacement for a while now.
