Coaching Staff Former Coach James Hird

[Skipper_]

Ha ha this is going to be good. On ya Hirdy.

 

[Dave]

Mainboard going well.

Killing it.

 

[WEEVZ]

Has Hird actually accepted yet? I know the article makes it sound like it's a fait accompli, but it stops short of saying he's definitely doing it.

I also love how the article fails to mention that Hird is simply the progression of Norm Smith medallists. It will be Hart next year, Buckley the year after, etc.

There's a few people saying he's open to it. So I guess we'll find out soon, sounds to me like the AFL are doing it because they have to.

I honestly doubt they're doing this for anything other than the "optics", and to give the appearance that they're following their own rules.

funny, there's probably a decent crossover between HTB types and "port arthur was a false flag to take our guns" types

 

[TheBrightSide]

Mainboard going well.

The keyboard mashers are loving it.
Totally worth it.

I also love how the article fails to mention that Hird is simply part of the progression of Norm Smith medallists. It will be Hart next year, Buckley the year after, etc.

Yeah it does

"Since 2004, the AFL has been inviting previous medallists to present the medal, starting with Wayne Harmes, who had not had the opportunity to present the Norm Smith Medal. Working through them in year order, James is the next eligible medallist," he said.

 

[Doss]

pfft

shut up Maddogm.

I'l blame the tears of laughter that were obscuring my eyes by that point.

AFL wrote to him inviting him.

Family is overseas so he won't see the mail til he gets back.

But obviously somebody in the media has got wind of it and given him a call to tell him about it. His response was yep, if they've asked me I'll do it.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Absolutely stoked. Legitimately grinning from ear to ear.

 

[srobbo]

Takes a winner of Norm, to know one

 

[JayJ20]

Ah Essendon.

If we could only win the premiership and Norm Smith medal this year
Bigfooty would've been so entertaining.

 

[bombre-boy]

Given that the GF is 50% corporate, and that GWS will probably win it, there might be stuff all there when it is time to present the medal.
Part of me hopes he tells the AFL to get stuffed, but i know that wont happen.
All the best Hirdy if you choose to do it.

 

[windyhill]

Afl360 saying Hird will agree to tge role once he receives the letter, great news.

I think the letter was shredded.

 

[duckdog]

gee those 24 pages went quick..

 

[BomberFan355]

I think the letter was shredded.

So Hird hasn't received the letter...sounding all too familiar!

 

[Howard Moon]

Andy Maher going hard on this, bellend.

Turd!

 

[Runk]

Andy Maher going hard on this, bellend.

Is he Thrawn?

 

[Howard Moon]

Turd!

He's a rare kind of turd that gets told things off air in confidence and runs with them on air

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Mainboard going well.

it's incredible isn't it?

Apparently, according to BigFooty, drug cheating is in the same league as mass murder and child abuse.

What else do you expect with the leadership this place has?

 

[Runk]

Yeah it doesn't help does it. Really seem to jump on the bandwagon.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yeah it doesn't help does it. Really seem to jump on the bandwagon.

More people, posts and advertising dollars for the site. No different to click bait, of course they fuel the flame.

 

[Howard Moon]

I haven't been out there..

What's their argument? Lance Armstrong wouldn't be allowed to present the yellow jersey?

 

[Dave]

I haven't been out there..

What's their argument?

"Reaaaaarrrrrrr, we're outraaaaaaged. "
