Opinion Coach: James Hird

[WillowSF]

Who has been underperforming that we can trade. Give us some hypotheticals.

I would review the list and identify those players who are 'untouchables', (at first glance I think that would be Watson, Heppell, Hurley, Daniher, Carlisle & Hooker) , and then consider trading any other player for the right deal. Go aggressive rather than conservative. An easy short term choice would be to make minimal list changes and stick with the current set of coaches.

He's reached rock bottom and started digging.

You havent answered my question. Who would trade and for what?

 

[Tassieboy]

How can he possibly stay.

 

[Howard Moon]

What % of us secretly want to not win to secure a decent draft pick?

That's the look I see on Hirds face.

There's "not winning" and there's "not trying and getting flogged by 100 points".

Reckon Paul Little needs to make a statement tonight. The supporters need to know the 'mood in the room'

 

[Bunk Moreland]

That's a coach killer.

WTF is this?

It's about the coach, not the supporters. People can have an opinion.

 

[Lethal]

He has to be done now.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

How many of you would change your vote?

Would change..
End of the year. Its all gotten to him it's too much.

Nope. Based entirely that I don't think we would be able to get a good or even decent coach to replace him. Get this wada stuff out the way for good, than move him on. We are dead a buried. The AFL and Wada won, but they aren't done yet eh. If Wada would drop their appeal if James Hird stepped down, I would hope like hell he would do it, but it doesn't work like that.

 

[Bombermania]

Let him coach out the season, find out who was interviewed by Carlton, sound them out and anyone else who might be a good fit. We need to avoid the mistake of doing a St Kilda or Doggies in waiting until one or two players walk before we announce that we are making changes.

 

[Donakebab]

WTF is this?

It's about the coach, not the supporters. People can have an opinion.

It's not an attack at peoples opinions, it's a legitimate question from a public poll. If the situation was reversed and we'd won 6 on the trot the question would be asked of the no's.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Give him the next 3 weeks, no point having someone take over now.

Then he has to go. Been with him all the way but these performances can not stand.

 

[Jobe]

I'm done this year.
Sack Hird today, not tomorrow.

This cannot be tolerated.

 

[lenny2013]

Get the review done and make the changes at the end of the season.

Anyone with 1 tenth of a brain knows the mood in the room and have for some time.

 

[vast]

It's not an attack at peoples opinions, it's a legitimate question from a public poll. If the situation was reversed and we'd won 6 on the trot the question would be asked of the no's.

If its not an attack on peoples opinions why have you not asked the no's if they changed their mind. You dont have to answer that by the way.

 

[Phone]

can't wait for Hird to start trying to sue us. Should happen by Wednesday

What the heck... i swear i voted to sack.. i think ive been pretty vocal on that too.

Wtf

 

[rumply]

I doubt Hird will be sacked before seasons end, but after today it really wouldn't be a surprise if it were to happen in the next few days.
