Yes exactly
 


James Hird has reportedly put his hand up for the vacant Essendon coaching role.
According to The Herald Sun’s Mark Robinson, Hird was believed to have been interviewed by the club’s selection committee on Wednesday.

Robinson says Hird’s decision came after several weeks of discussions with his family about returning to the job he resigned from in 2015.
Hird coached the club in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 and was famously suspended in 2014 following the Bombers’ supplements saga.

I’d love to know Andrew Maher, with the theme of “come back all is forgiven” with respect to your views on James Hird, would you campaign just as hard for John Elliott’s name to be restored to the Carlton’s Heroes Stand.

Just asking?

And by the way my view is that John Elliots name shouldn’t be restored to the Heroes Stand.

But hey Andrew Maher come back all is forgiven - cash in brown paper bags and taking illegal performance enhancing drugs it’s all cheating isn’t it, everyone deserves a second chance don’t they.

There is no way that Robert Walls, Jordan Lewis etc recommend James Hird to coach. Clearly if he applies they have to interview him.

Would be madness if the club didn't accept the coaching panels recommendation. Not saying that it is not possible with * special brand of Kool Aid madness.
 
If at the time of his fall from grace and subsequent slinking off to France, you suggested that within a 6 year period Hird would be back applying for the top job at * people would fall over laughing at the prospect.
It is such a Benny Hill situation of complete and utter farce and inappropriateness (is that a word) I struggle to comprehend how that joke of a club could even contemplate reinstating him.
In one sense I so want them to have him as head coach because only that putrid club would be brazen enough to do it.
On the other hand my sense of justice and fair play for the rest of the football world just can't stomach having that smug, egotistical, pathological cheat rise from the ashes.
If * as an entity imploded like a supernova tomorrow I wouldn't miss them for a millisecond.

He was interviewed today apparently.

Why would you have to interview him? Like any job if you don’t feel the candidates resume or person is not a good fit no interview needs to be had. Heck I might as well apply.. I’ll get to meet Wallsy.

Total farce he got an interview and shows how this stain of a club does not even get how despicable it is to even consider it.
 
How is this being allowed to happen?

There are fresh draftees to enter that club this year. How can they and their parents trust that Essendon won't do precisely the same thing again?

How can Essendon people - whoever they are - countenance bringing him back, demonstrating that they've learnt nothing?

How can the AFL stand by and allow things to even get this far?

What coaching has Hird done since 2015? What has he done with his time to lead anyone to believe he's shown some form of penitence or contrition, that they're never a bad loss to Carlton away from doing it again? What makes them think that he'll even be any good at the gig?

This whole sequence of events is truly mindblowing.

The bigger joke is the AFL actually allowing it.

In other news the World Cycling Union is reinstating Lance Armstrong’s 7 Tour De France titles.

:rolleyes:
