James Hird returning to the AFL

[Bunk Moreland]

There are many our here who would be happy to do that. All we've wanted to hear is some sort of remorse from Hird for his part in the drug saga, but as of yet we've heard nothing. Until that happens, he can get stuffed.

You’re deaf, or a moron. Or both.

It’s more than footy

I understand that, the AFL is just a big gig for the boys club. It makes me sick.

Go and have a big chunder. You'll feel better.

He spent most of 2010 undermining Matthew Knights.

Looks like he wants to do the same to Worsfold in 2019.

It is not about money, he has as much as he needs every year for the rest of his life. It is about him.

His ego needs to be feed at an amazing rate

Yep it is ego

The redemption narrative gains momentum.

I propose a new word be added to the lexicon: "Donsplaining"

Going to be awkward to listen to the pseudo-banter dance around the elephant in the room ala Wayne Carey.

Meh. He was "caught" doing less mischief than a lot of people previously or currently involved in the administration of football clubs or the AFL organisation.

To the extent that he did do wrong, he has been punished.

I am so surprised that he receives so much vitriol still. Maybe someone will see this as controversial but I reckon I see less vitriol for terrorists or rapists.

He clung on for as long as he possibly could, throwing colleague after colleague under the bus until there was no one else left, dragged his club and the game through as much shit as possible in order to save his own hide, and people wonder why some of us aren't exactly keen to welcome the parasite back with open arms.

Be still my beating heart.

The dulcet tones of The Great Alan.

My 2nd fave character from the saga behind The Gazelle.

He was the tallest of tall poppies. People revelled in it. They still do.

TBH i'm not even sure the exact extent of what he did. I heard things above like Father Jack posted, I'm not sure this is 100 percent correct? If so, **** the campaigner. He shouldn't be allowed back. If not, I'm glad he is. He went through a lot, and people deserve second chances.

I suggest reading up and forming your own opinion. Don’t be a sheep.

 

[Truckosaurus]

i think he will inject the commentary team with untested drugs causing them to turn orange and sport permanent erections

Dwayne Russell is waaaay ahead of him on that.

What punishment did he get?

 

[RudyBlue]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand James Hird

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable working alongside such a narcissistic liar and a cheat.

 

[Cold Sober]

THIS!!! I understand James Hird and want him to coach Essendon again. Absolute genius. Great player and WAS on his way to being a very good coach. #WitchHunt#StandbyHird.

 

[Collingwoodity]

What punishment did he get?

Didn't he get suspended?

Maybe I'm remembering it wrongly?

Pretty much how i feel. I also think people are pretty naive in thinking this sort of stuff(on a much bigger scale) isn't happening in all of their favourite sports worldwide.

Aah yes, the Million dollar paid holiday in France while entered into an exclusive business school cost free.

 

[citizen-erased]

He really should apologise and show some regret for what happened, I can’t believe he hasn’t.

just once more will always be enough

 

[dylan93]

Couldn't care less. Spineless flog who took on no responsibility for the drugs saga. Great player no doubt, but dunno about coach or commentator.
