Said something to th effect of damn it a year to late - feel sorry for the players who didn't get a go because of Blueys stubbornness - lacking in class - Rohan Connolly has had a good crack at him on Twitter.

I wonder if more Essendon players will consider Ryder's path to leave the club now that on top of everything it appears they will soon be coach-less.

You would think that the GC announcement today may have a little bit of something to do with what is now going on at the Bombers.

 

[AFLQLD]

Wow. Chaos in a few other clubs right now. And we seem calm, deliberate and united. What a difference a year makes.

Yeah I was thinking with Bomber going to the Suns and Hird's position no longer tenable they'd have no coach at which point the players start thinking do I really still want to be here after all this?

James Hird faces sack if he challenges Federal Court, banned from Essendon best-and-fairest ceremony

Hird has been told not to attend tonight’s club best-and-fairest ceremony at Crown Casino.

It comes after the Herald Sun revealed he plans to lodge appeal documents as early as Thursday with the Federal Court.

Leadership group tried to stop James Hird appealing verdict

Members of Essendon's leadership group tried to persuade James Hird not to go through with his plan to appeal the verdict, after the club briefed the leadership group on the crisis on Wednesday.

The club intends to offer the coaching position to Mark Thompson in the event that Hird is sacked. It is understood that Thompson met skipper Jobe Watson on Wednesday and indicated that he would not stay at Essendon next year - unless he was senior coach.

Essendon is well aware that Thompson is interested in coaching the Gold Coast Suns, following the sacking of Guy McKenna. As of Wednesday evening, it was unclear how the club would deal with the uncertainty surrounding Thompson, who had been offered a role in the football department and indicated he would like to stay but did not sign on.

All about the players Hirdy?

Maybe the ones in the leadership group don't count.

Jared Brennan backtracking big time on his tweets now....and those original ones are still there.....they are on the AFL players tweets.

He was "misunderstood"

Umm ok....what did he really mean then?

 

[Dylan12]

He is a good man and partner is Justin:



Good luck finding that error of law Mr Hird, not to mention funding the whole appeal, if in fact he does lodge the documents.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Need to move fast to keep Bomber.

Need to move fast to keep Bomber.

Surely it's too late? While Essendon may be reacting to the McKenna sacking to a degree I would've thought the Suns machinations to get Bomber there would have been well under way, despite what Bomber may have said I'd have thought the Suns would have done the leg work to get him locked in, they'd want to avoid pulling an Angus. If I were Bomber I would have felt a little unloved considering how long it took for the club to finally start pulling away from Hird.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Now find out if Bomber wants to win and play finals or help out the Bombers.

Bomber has a history of ingenious deceit when it comes to moving clubs...history may be about to repeat itself.

 

[MacMum]

'...and sorry if upset anyone.....any who know him, know he doesn't have a bad bone in his body.."

Bombers offered Bomber a job under Neil Craig - how would you respond to that? #bombertocoachsuns
