James Hird will “eventually” get sacked by Essendon, says Mark Thompson

[John 2505]

The rats are leaving the doomed bomber. Once great mates now one is taking a swipe at the other. I hope Hird stays on at Essendon for the benefit of the other 17 clubs

"Eventually" meaning after the players are found guilty. Because Hird has his club by the balls, he's not going to get the sack so easily.

Are you sure its James that has the club by the balls? I am thinking it is Tanya for obvious reasons!

Hird won't be sacked, they will not sack a club champion and great strategic thinker. Things will turn around soon, the club has had a difficult draw and the reckless and baseless decision by WADA to appeal has had a negative impact on the players. Trust ASADA and WADA to try and ruin another season for the bombers

Not really

It's too Jonestown-like a statement


- they will not sack a club champion
- great strategic thinker.
- Things will turn around soon
- baseless decision by WADA to appeal
- Trust ASADA and WADA to try and ruin another


Talk about drinking the koolaid

Been awesome 7 games to watch

They are all facts and unless you can show some evidence to the level of reasonable satisfaction to disprove them, I suggest you stay away from the cheap personal attacks and insulting references to historical incidents where numerous people were killed that have no relationship to the Essendon 34.

[WCErevival]

Even without the drug saga you would think he wouldn't be safe purely on performance. He was always a strange choice as coach considering he had no prior experience.

Good to hear you acknowledge and agree with my opinions. I will convince you of the facts soon too.

Bomber isn't a fan, and the losses are making it easier for him to have his say.

Bomber isn't a fan, and the losses are making it easier for him to have his say.

It's easier also because he isn't pulling the coaching string any more. This year is simply confirmation of what we actually knew all along - Thompson was the brains, he was the actual coach.

It's also why it shits me that he doesn't get more blame for all of this. He's flown under the radar quite nicely.

Assuming you're a troll. Because none of them are facts, they're opinions, and the probability is they'll all be wrong.

 

[Reality rules]

I just saw Mr. Hirds post game Presser. I don't think EFC will dismiss Hird, he will resign and do the honorable thing not to forget what's best for the club. (Before he get's the flick anyway).

He's only a shell of the man he was judging by his demeanor. Still, when you fly by the seat of your pants and have nobody to carry your bags, life is like that. For the record, my opinion if 'off the record' just in case Chip rings.

What has he and not Tania done to show that he is a strategic thinker as a coach?

What has he and not Tania done to show that he is a strategic thinker as a coach?

If stagnant ball movement, going into games without a ruckman, and assembling the most destructive behind scoring forward line in the game isn't evidence enough of his tactical nous, then I'm afraid there is no hope for you.

This whole SALADA thing is just a clever ruse by Jim to clear out the s**t trucks on his list in one fell swoop.

Don't most coaches eventually get sacked? Very few leave on own terms - can only think of Roos at Sydney, Malthouse at Collingwood Allan jeans at hawthorn (illness), bomber at cats.

Talk about drinking the koolaid

Statements are true - from a certain point of view.

Club champion - yes - as was Knights (Peter), buckenara walls, Parkin, Bartlett all who were sacked.
Strategic thinker - yes, strategically planning a post football exit with his business course and being paid $1 million to not coach in 2013.
Things will turn around - in which direction, can certainly get worse
Baseless decision to appeal - because the events are all media propaganda (well that's what hird believes). But closing your eyes and wishing don't make it true
Trust asada and WADA to ruin another- ruin a suspect injection Regime where none can say what was taken.

This is the first time he has talked about Hird without sounding like he is lying or holding something back. I have no doubt at all there are more than a few issues between Thompson and Hird

 

[DERIBERATE]

Is there any evidence for this statement?

Yes. The fact that he's employed as a coach, and paid more than the other coaches. Takes a lot of strategising to achieve that when you're a shithouse coach.
