Only the media... for now. The cynic in me has a horrible feeling this is to soften us up for him returning to a higher profile role.

I think that is very possible too, in time.

Guessing he will be injecting some insight into the commentary box?

Yes, i’ll try the veal tonight.....

Hoping he can cope with a bit of needling and that he can get to the point!

Well why the hell not? We’ve had Wayne “wineglass to the face” Carey forced on us on channel 7 for years. Might as well have the person responsible for systemic, deliberate drug cheating back as well. Is Nick Stevens out of jail for DV yet? I’m sure SEN could find him a spot too ffs

I will withhold judgement. Maybe prior to the first bounce of the game, he will, finally, show some remorse and apologise for the embarrassment, ill-repute and scourge he systematically and deliberately brought onto the game for personal advantage. If he does that, then I will be neutral about his revival. If he doesn't, then he's still the shameful person he has always been and should have no place in the game.

I wonder how much involvement the AFL, as custodian of the game, has had in this. I recall a couple of years ago it stepped hard on SEN for appointing someone the AFL believed was not good for the game - was it Grant Thomas?

What is this obsession with trying to bring Hird back into football. Most players finish their careers and go and do something else rarely being heard of again.

He could have admitted wrongdoing whether through ill judgement or ignorance at the outset. Then if he assisted at getting to the bottom of the saga, maybe he could be forgiven.

He did everything in his power to conceal the truth. He behaved an an immoral manner. That's the problem. Still ,now that I think of it, maybe the media is a perfect fit for him.

I know right? Hirdy's record of abuse toward women is appalling. Spot on comparison.

 

[Stopher]

He has apologized and shown contrition. Several times. Man some campaigners on here are stupid.

It’s 2019. People only hear what they want to hear.

Exactly. And I want to hear James Hird. Via radio as a part of a commentary team.

Hird said he still held resentment towards “some people” in the media, but was keen to move on.

Doesn't sound contrite.

 

[basashi]

There is basically no level of wrong doing that won't be forgiven.

 

[evo]

And so the redemption story begins.

He'll be coaching Essendon inside 12 months.

Good times.

[RAPPA]

He has run out of money yeah?

 

[Speakeasy]

Trent Croad as well

There’s a pretty big difference between Croad and those 3... nice attempt at bringing the hawks down to your level though

Being convicted of something inexcusable. worthy of being ostracized from Aussie rules is the comparison I was making, just to spell it out for you...

 

[rumply]

no yeah I know, it's just that threads like this bring the out the Hirdy haters like flies to dog shit.

 

[Doashuey]

Lets face it, the football media can hardly go to a lower standard than what it currently is. Seems like the perfect spot for him.
