And on and on it goes.

Lloyd trying to be diplomatic to not piss of the Hird fanbase (particularly the 2 in the studio with him) but reading between the lines he wants him nowhere near the club.
 
What is possibly tempting about this guy, other than you get your number 5 jumper signed?
He'll have players playing for him that's about it GWS players couldn't stop raving about Hird. if he was to coach the club needs to make him go through the process
 
A new Dons era awaits

I think you’re exaggerating way too much.

You need to get a grip on things.
You’ve got the rose coloured glasses on, listen to Clarkos presser, he basically spells it out, he took a curtesy call…
That curtesy call cost you a prez and made a coaches position untenable.

Did his courstesy call say he wasn't intrested?

Paul Brasher was going to step down at the end of the year anyway

How's Robbo at the very end there saying that Hird, Corcoran and Thompson were "unfairly dealt with"

What a nitwit..

What does he suggest should've happened to the people who were in charge of a football department that implemented a systemic doping regime? Nobody knows who shredded all the paperwork after Essendon was notified by the AFL they'd been caught in a federal police sting operation and was facing an ASADA investigation. They definitely didn't preserve any of the evidence which might've saved them (if indeed, they were actually innocent)

Robbo and many other Bombers fans always wanted to put 100% of the blame onto the two sports scientists. Called them "rogue" sports scientists at every opportunity. Nice way of absolving the people who hired them and oversaw their operation. Nice way of absolving the players who went along with it and purposefully left the forms blank instead of notifying ASADA about any of the treatments they'd received.

10 years after it happened and these Essendon muppets still can't own it. FFS. No wonder their club is broken.

I've got nothing against Hird returning to coach Essendon if that's the path they want to follow. But please, quit the bullshit about what occurred. Stop proclaiming their innocence and how hard done by they were. Let them man up and actually take some responsibility for their f**k ups instead of them just mouthing empty platitudes and apologies as a public relations exercise and then saying the exact opposite in later interviews and feeling aggrieved at the AFL.

He did survive a very serious situation with an horrendous infection and it’s good he gets to play one more game.

A very much loved player he is with the supporters. He’s out modern day Mark Harvey. Immortal without a flag though.
“Immortal” 🤷‍♂️
 
He said he was never intersted in the job tho

He had his heart set on North and when Essendon came calling should have said "no thanks"
He listened to their elevator pitch and within half a week said no. Professional and respectful behaviour.
 
Ross Lyon had a huge amount of input with list management and apparently was always trying to step over the top of them at st kilda. How do you think that would work with dodoro

No idea. But Dodoro should be out anyway. The only guy in Australia who doesn’t realise Essendon need competent inside mids and keeps trading for (or drafting) outside players.

I’m not saying Lyon should be the next coach. It’s just that “big club” syndrome, at least in this case, will likely lead to a scenario where an experienced, big name coach will be appointed.

If they’re serious about the review most people in positions of influence - at least in the footy department - should go. They’ve presided over an epically long finals win drought and the list is pretty unbalanced. I actually like a few of their younger players but they’ve got glaring weaknesses that haven’t been addressed for years.
