Don’t think that’s an accurate take. With media and public attention engrossed in the allegations nobody would really bat an eyelid if Hird was announced right now.Last thing the AFL wants atm. Won't sanction a cheat.

When did mccartney get involved?Had no idea that Jordan Lewis and Brendan McCartney are part of the external review panel.
Au contraire, with Adam Yze about to be caught up in the Hawthorn affair the timing is perfect for the return of the prodigal son.Last thing the AFL wants atm. Won't sanction a cheat.

Might I add Kevin Sheedy's plans to spill the board & scuttle any chance Clarkson being appointed as coach of The Don's has turned out rather fortuitously. Given his unquestionable rapport with AFL Indigenous Australians one might suspect he was in knowledge of the impending calamity that was about to explode.Au contraire, with Adam Yze about to be caught up in the Hawthorn affair the timing is perfect for the return of the prodigal son.
Clutching at straws here I reckon.Might I add Kevin Sheedy's plans to spill the board & scuttle any chance Clarkson being appointed as coach of The Don's has turned out rather fortuitously.

Almost sounds like he's pleading for the job after being told no by the club'I think I can make it better': Hird confirms his Dons ambition
Redemption, closure and love for the Essendon football club are top of James Hird's reasons for wanting to coach the Bombers againwww.afl.com.au
“I would love to get the job,” Hird told a Melbourne luncheon on Thursday, according to The Age newspaper.
"I know there has been a lot of speculation around whether I’ve done the time or I’ve done the work but I’m passionate about the club."
"Redemption is a big thing.
"But for me, I just love the Essendon Football Club, it has been part of my life forever and I think I can make it better.”
Not sureWhen did mccartney get involved?
Another good operator imo.
Probably not ideal timing with all the coaching reviews going on about coaches' treatment of players.When did mccartney get involved?

he's good at it. i'd be cool with that, unless...Not sure
Speculation that McCartney might come on board as development coach
que?Probably not ideal timing with all the coaching reviews going on about coaches' treatment of players.
Allegedly was quite abusive towards players while with us, including Liam Joneshe's good at it. i'd be cool with that, unless...
que?
Clarkson has been revealed as a diabolical monster capable of incredibly disturbing acts of evil.* me. if that's all it takes to get bombers fans up and going...geeze.
I'd rather be a hawthorn fan right now.
que?
i know he's prickly. Assuming lines weren't crossed i'd be ok with this if he's adapted to the modern player.Allegedly was quite abusive towards players while with us, including Liam Jones
Interesting. Did seem to have issues there.McCartney is allegedly an ar*ehat. Repeatedly ringing players at home, alledgedly often inebriated, berating them.
Personally heard this from a friend in an official footy position at WB in McC's time.
Right now? Given your hatred for all things Essendon when would this have not been the case?* me. if that's all it takes to get bombers fans up and going...geeze.
I'd rather be a hawthorn fan right now.
Have to laugh at the amount of Essendon fans wanting Hird back most are hoping that Yze is tangled up in the Hawks rascism scandal so Hird can get the job by default wtf is wrong woth some of these fans
But he paid the penalty Linda. He served his sentence. Took the nails driven into his hands. Copped his fair whack. 50 lashes and more etc etcI would never put it past Essendon to go full Essendon and appoint him regardless of the optics.
But the idea that the AFL being in the midst of a player welfare crisis somehow HELPS the return of a guy who was suspended for a year by the AFL for a serious breach of player welfare protocols is just straight up batsh*t insane.
