If he'd said that it would've been printed everywhere.

They're all doing it!
Maybe, maybe not if it was throw away comment, hidden amongst all of Robbo's toss and as you said yourself the Media all ready had the story angled the way they wanted.

Albert Thurgood. A great of the Essendon Football Club. You do our club credit to recognise him.

Who Supervised Robinson?
Why would an idiot retract an idiotic post?
He was asked by Anthony Hudson on AFL360 "Have you worked out what role James is going to play" Thompson "um, no. Not exactly - he comes back pretty soon so we will have a chat"

Seems to me to be an answer designed to allow for wiggle room. "Not exactly" could mean that it was all worked out at the start of the year but Bomber wanted to give himself room as opposed to giving a definitive answer that could later be turned on him if people's minds had changed or circumstances changed or what not.
I don't know any of that of course, just speculating. I eagerly anticipate cries of being a Hird fanboy or whatever.
The scapegoat thing sits well with Hird and is no more likely that the alternative scenario wherein he is as guilty as sin.
Come on now, if it was set in stone 5 months ago it was set it stone. He could have easily said the club and Hird have made a decision that he cannot discuss at the moment, his focus is the players etc.
His ego won't allow him to do anything else other than coach the senior team.

Love how Bombers supporters think they're so brave and noble with their whole "us against the world" mindset. As long as Hird is at Essendon they will remain football's biggest joke and the rest of us will keep on laughing.
Was good of Hird to put the club first and decide without any prompting from Bomber, Little or any of the Board to take no part in the coaching for the remainder of 2014. How generous and self effacing.

Four-time premiership coach Leigh Matthews believed that the decision to leave Hird on the periphery for the rest of the season was a no-brainer. "Hirdy should have come to that conclusion himself," Matthews said on 3AW on Thursday night. "You don't need the club to be telling you that. It is so obvious."

the role he's still contracted to do? funny that.
Don't worry - we're all laughing right back at Carlton.
That's ok
