[Fabab]

Cant believe james turd is involved in the game wtf?

 

[YeahGnar]

James Hird looks like he still experimenting with drugs which are slowly transforming him into Kurt Russell

Recipe is botox, fake tan and cocaine. Nina Simone's rider was champagne, sausages and cocaine. Much better.

 

[Xtreme]

All I can say is that if they do appoint Hird...I'd like him to start his press conference with "I'm shocked to be sitting here"

Im sure all of us woum6be!!

 

[La Dispute]

There might be some stigma attached to pumping players full of performance enhancers, but you do have to wonder how much more interesting the competition would be if they just allowed some wacky arms race where clubs had open season on them?

The Bombers were actually half decent to watch when the majority of their squad was doped to the gills. Watson won a Brownlow, Brent Stanton

temporarily become an elite player.

Would love to see how far sports science could go with no barriers and the best biochemists brought into a club-funded thinktank.

forward, he'd kick his 10-12 and end up breaking Peter Hudson's record.

No idea if Rodchenkov is still consulting, but if I was Hird I'd be seeing what he's up to.

 

[Sun Ra]

Recipe is botox, fake tan and cocaine.

he's ticking a few boxes

 

[Aussie in exile]

The very words Fat Andy you to use when a scandal surfaced. Pretending he was surprised

 

[Aussie in exile]

A change of coach would be a real shot in the arm for the beleaguered giants
Whether Hird is the injection they need for a change of fortunes, is up for debate

Injection being the key word here

 

[Kappa]

There’s no indication at all gws are considering him for a senior role, this rumour is completely made up because he joined the club and Leon Cameron

is under external pressure.

It’s speculation, not a rumour.

 

[caveman72]

Why wouldn't Clarko be all over the GWS job, a lot more talent than Gold Coast

Because he's moving in with TazHawk and his mum so he can coach the new Tassie team

 

[Aramis]

Probably the same reason Wayne Carey is a commentator, Leigh Matthews was a coach and commentator, Ted Witten is so revered, Jobe and Tim Watson have jobs in the media, and Eddie Maguire not be held to account.

All are absolute rubbish humans, but they are part of the circle jerk at the top of the AFL. The elite end of the AFL is a massive protection racket for those on the inside. It's hard to get in, but once there you can do no wrong.

Don't get me wrong - the boys' club/'jobz for the boyz' sentiment is absolutely real and unashamedly exists in the upper echelons of the AFL.

However, you've picked a bit of a mixed bag of individuals to illustrate the point. Sure, some of them have done some fairly questionable things or have exhibited behaviour that leaves a lot to be desired, but none of them hold a candle to Hird's efforts.

What Hird was a party to was absolutely criminal. It was a crime against football fans everywhere.

joins the Dogs as an assistant I don't care.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I'm struggling to decipher most of your message, but the bit that I can - Agree, Goodwin is a poor character and should not be coaching. I've posted on here numerous times. He was up to his eyeballs in the Essendon drug cheating and I don't want him a Melbourne. I've also said that there needs to be an investigation into Shane Carter's involvement with AFL Players in the late 90's early 2000's including James Hird and Shane Woewodin.

Presumably samples are kept frozen - I wonder how long for?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Giants players in 2023.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Soooo epic.

Check out the big fella here. Already doing the math on whether he can afford one of those seized cut-price oligarch yachts with all the extra clicks and advertising revenue it would bring in. Sicko.

 

[juss]

Don't see it.

Of all the AFL, AFLW, and state league teams head coaches and assistants, there would surely be a lot of people who could do the job at least as well if not better, without the baggage and media circus Hird has.

You'd be an idiot to make him head coach again anywhere. Not worth it.

Not going to happen.

Clarkson will join GWS on a 10 year deal after he agrees to go to the Suns.

 

[Seadog]

Yeah/Na, as much as the Essendon coterie and some in the VFL/AFL would like to see the return of the wayward son it's not going to happen.

If he does get the job let's just hope he has all the weapons he needles to win

Dank you for using such a witty pun.

Dude is a stud, knows footy like nobody else. He got himself mixed up with a bad crew in Thompson who brought in his cronies from Geelong.
