Alle-farking-lulia!!!!! I'm still waiting for the full story we were promised. Still think we were hasty in re-appointing him. Even before this season we have had late season collapses, a horrendous training/weights program with massive injuries. And then lets a supplement program get out of hand. Why even introduce one?
Sone of this worshipping makes me cringe.

356: The 356 game milestone has not been a happy one for Essendon. Simon Madden's was a loss to Hawthorn in 1991 while Dustin Fletcher's was last years loss to Melbourne.

There have been 3 Hirds play for Essendon, the two most prominent ones having worn 5, and 6.
...no you're right, there's nothing.

Tip: When I'm using Dustin Fletcher's game numbers, it's a sign I couldn't find anything else.
I think once we get into the 200's it'll be much better.

I was going through the list of goal kickers from 2000 trying to find a way to get a combination of 356.

Alternatively, 1923 Premiership player George Shorten was the 356th player to represent the club.
Agree on count down etc etc but to be honest its probably better if its a lid on type of inhouse count down after what we have seen from foamers...
People disregarded every aspec of their own teams to get in on the action of beating us down... Im all for Jims return and think he will be much more balanced across the board etc but waving red flags at foaming tossbags who cant seperate humanity from this situation is a dangerous melting pot...

Oh come on people, it's a bit of fun. We all love Hirdy, may as well enjoy this why it lasts. How often does one get to have a thread like this?
Also I've just noticed that Miguel from The Road to El Dorado (see avatar) has the same hair as Hirdy.

Seriously guys, if you think support is the same as worship then think again.
Prosecutor, don't buy into the idea that a senior coach should know and understand everything that occurs in a football club. You want your coach to focus on coaching, not be distracted with things that should be outside his purview. Good management involves getting the right people and trusting them to do their job. Hird's major failing was getting the wrong people. He is now paying for that and has paid heavily. If this makes you cringe, don't read it.
GreatBarry, all clubs have supplement programs. Ours went too far. Hird wanted to push boundaries however there is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is that he trusted the wrong people to push the wrong boundaries. If you haven't read this article by Chip Le Grand and others by him and Gerard Whately then you should as a more complete picture is slowly developing. Not to mention we will know a lot more if Reid goes to court. Witnesses will be called etc etc.

If you want to push the boundaries, fine but then there's more need then ever to keep a tighter rein such as keep an eye on new science guys. Or take heed of doctor and aast coach/mentor's warning.
I'd get the arse if i didn't in my job.
So much this.
The guy made mistakes but who honestly doubts he will learn from them and come back better than ever?
Hird has earnt a second chance and then some.

355: Essendon had 355 possessions three times this year, but it wasn't a particularly happy amount, with Collingwood and North beating us comfortably, while the other was a casual win over the Giants in Sydney.

It's a bit disappointing that we don't have another player milestone to use until 320...that will be mid-October.
