Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

[matthew_s]

Was Goodwin head coach of the Bombers was he? That's news to me..

Nah, he was just sitting in his office shooting himself up with whatever danky handed him.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Demetriou sentenced to Gaol for White Collar Crime/corrupt private business sector practices whilst Hird makes a triumphant return to coaching with the Giants in 2023 would have a certain amount of schadenfreude for Essendon supporters I dare say.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Nah, he was just sitting in his office shooting himself up with whatever danky handed him.

Nah, he was putting together his plan to win a flag. Hird is a joke...

 

[maskmcgee]

Probably exactly what the AFL want. Will bring enormous amounts of interest and attention to GWS, which is what they need, somebody to pay attention to them, while allowing the actual good coach to go to Gold Coast.

 

[branedotorg]

NO other candidate would provide the lulz and content that Hird would.

Think of the potential!

i hope you've got good autoscaling if he gets announced

Rich people dont go to gaol, and coaches of teams convicted of the biggest doping scandal in team sport anywhere in the world ever are okay to keep on coaching.

You would hope if Clarko becomes coach one of his requirements is for GWS to tell Hird to * off. Well, anyone who becomes the new coach.

Fog Dog was right!!!!

"sit tight, be confident."

That's it!

So many classic moments...what a time it was!

 

[Randomizor]

Why would anyone want him?

Was a bog average coach bolstered by Bombers guidance. He’s not taking anyone to a premiership lol

 

[nineteen eighty]

Nah, he was just sitting in his office shooting himself up with whatever danky handed him.

Shhhh don't want the reigning premiership coach to be associated with ole Danky and his witchcraft potions now do we?

 

[CharacterFirst]

Gil is yesterday's man.

So is Albert.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

That's it!

Wonder what the sea-kayaker is up to.

Don't forget the original angry boomer Alan Hird

 

[Stopher]

I'm gonna reach for the popcorn if it happens.

Some ridiculous pearl-clutching going on in this thread.

 

[michaelfranke3034]

Hird should never be allowed to coach at any level ever he destroyed a lot of those players lives and careers and his clubs reputation he also refused to take responsibility for his actions and repeatedly denied any wrongdoing despite knowingly cheating and risking his own players welfare

Toorak toff up to Western Sydney ?

Fish out of water. What would Tania (pronounced tanyaa) think ?

 

[Blue1980]

Sure, why not. No laws against it.

Legal counsel ready and raring to go

I remember that dude had this extremely pretentious blog where he'd claim he was some kind of law lecturer by day, philosopher and anarchist at night or something?
