Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

[windyhill]

Possible job at GWS. Well FMD, he’s finally following the road he should’ve done back when he retired. The arrogance of going from retiring to media to Essendon coach before trying another club was astounding.
Good luck with the backlash GWS

GWS could use some media coverage to distract from their captaincy debacle, good work James.

GWS havent had a brownlow medalist yet have they?

Would totally round out Toby Greene's career winning a brownlow only to have it stripped.

Seriously, what makes people think Hird is qualified to be a senior coach again?

The Anzac Day medals mate
You gotta remember his Anzac Day medals …

 

[Fat Nyfe]

It seems like there’s a lot of really good assistants and ex-coaches around at the moment, why in the * would Hird be considered.

Remember that time he kicked that goal against West Coast and hugged the fan in the crowd.

Coaching material

Chief you should start investing in new servers. If it happens wouldn't wanna be the new Kayo

 

[ScreaM.]

Lucky his a Victorian, otherwise would of never been welcomed back after being a cheat.

Lulz. Always epic lulz.

 

[citizen-erased]

not sure where the meltdowns will be most severe - general AFL fans or the stand by Hird-ites.

imagine he wins a flag with them....

 

[PhatBoy]

His sub-50 per cent win record in his previous stint screams out to get him picked it must be said

 

[Istina]

Yes.

 

[gordo2016]

You have had some shocking fill in coaches over the years but none would be worse than McVeigh.

You mean McVeigh as a player?

 

[Orange crush]

Definitely! Mumford should be the interim coach

Yes, but also consider all the finals he won.

Here’s spike and Albert on their way to training.
Who do we think will really be calling the shots …
