    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    I love it. Yep may as well put the waterboy in the chair because he can’t do any worse. That’s how you turn things around.

    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    It’s incredible to remember that Knights was sacked on the back of James Hird’s comments about wanting to coach the club. He has been destabilising this club since 2010, which is 16 years, a year longer than his playing career.

    Autopsy Round 12, 2026: Hawks smack the Saints

    They are a chance of making the finals next year. The problem is that is nowhere near good enough. Ross is in year 4 (or 5?) since they knifed an “underperforming” coach whose winning percentage is now better than Ross. They’ve mortgaged their future in order to spike and snatch a flag this...

    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    Defeatist crap. If the club can’t decide that it’s bigger than yesterday’s man peddling his redemption arc bollocks then you’re in for another round of suffering. Imagine if everything goes perfectly and Hird wins a premiership. You think that’s the end of it? Imagine how long he would stay...

    As of today President: Andrew Welsh Head Coach: Dean Solomon Backline Coach: Michael Hurley Midfield Coach: Brent Stanton Forwards Coach: Cam Roberts There’s a particular flavour here.

    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    You don’t understand two things: 1. None of the candidates are scared of Hird. His résumé is literally a pile of dog shit compared to Skipworth or Giansiracusa. 2. They are put off by the process being coordinated by Hird acolytes and by the fact that half the fanbase won’t accept anyone else...

    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    It’s amazing when you think that Hird has supposedly wanted to coach Essendon since he finished playing almost 20 years ago, and in that time has got the job twice despite never doing anything to develop himself as an AFL coach. Never coached even a single year as an assistant to observe what a...

    I don’t think so. Barrass displaces Weddle as a KPD who goes to BMac’s spot. Nash comes in to Perez. Both outs unlucky.

    Don’t know if that’s fair on Lloyd, I think he’s one that has advocated for Essendon to behave professionally. But yes, even he might bend to the will of the cult here.

    Besides, she admitted that she was partially responsible. What more affirmation could you want?

    Everyone in the league is doing it. The stand rule has started to bring its baggage. You get in and grab them before the umpire calls stand, pretending that you don’t know what a mark is. Slows down the marking player who might’ve played on straight away.

    Sticky… as in perfectly clear?

    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    You’ve hit the nail on the head. Anyone thinking that this is something they’ve got to “get out of their system” is the same excuse people use for sleeping with their ex. You don’t need to do it, and it’s extremely unhelpful in moving on from the past. Essendon fans think that a Hird...

    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    On what grounds could you possibly select James Hird as the best candidate? Coaching at Port Melbourne? He’d be dead in the water in any unbiased process. I hope Longmire applies for the job because I would just love to see the club tie itself in knots. “Past performance is not a reliable...

    James Hird return to Essendon: yay or nay? (UPDATE: Hird confirms he wants the job)

    Mick Malthouse is a nutter? I thought he summed up Essendon quite lucidly after 3 rounds this year: “They are going nowhere in a hurry, Essendon”.
