No point playing for a coach who can't coach. Having said that, have to admire the players who've stayed put through the WADA case, now that's a special kind of loyalty
What now for Essendon?

This is the worst, most gutless, just most pathetic effort I have seen from a team in the AFL. Watson has had one kick in this match, his 200th. The players have completely given up. 186 was against a dominant side who were on song. The Saints have been good today, but they are still the 14th placed side on the ladder.

Why should he be getting until Melbourne? The simple fact is we don't know what the hell they're going to do with Hird, or what will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, because if anybody else had delivered the results he's managed as coach they would have been gone a couple of years ago.
Need a big rebuild starting with trading out 2 or 3 players and bring in some youth.
Look at what Collingwood did 2 or 3 years ago with Dawes and Willingham and do that with Hooker, Goddard, etc.

What a wonderful day.

It's all media propaganda, you'd be naive and idiotic if you believe any of that.

Reality is, somebody has to be the laughing stock. The torch has been passed.

Regardless of the wada outome its clear that the cumulative effect of this ongoing saga has eaten into the club,the staff and most importantly, the players .They just look listless, without heart or endeavor. Couple that with an aging list and coach who seems out his depth then you have a recipe for few years at the bottom

I reckon in a team thats playing for finals they will be exposed and crack under the pressure.
I wouldn't touch any of their players.

will Cooney and Chapman play on? Both seem to be really injury prone.

He's the messiah but!
Absolute bullshit. Their players arent that bad. Hurley would be a great replacement for McPharlin.

Final Round 2008 vs St.Kilda ?
LoL who would give a first rounder for Goddard!?
Essendon fans deserve everything they get, they chose Hird, even though he wasn't even a qualified coach

Sheedy I think?
Worsfold will be at the Crows

Things are never as bad as they seem
They'll be right if they sign Jeremy Howe and Matt Suckling as free agents @ $600k/year and give Hirdy another 2 year extension.
I mean, what other team has three CHBs of the calibre of Hooker, Hurley and Carlisle?
