One thing you can say is Hird sure knows how to manipulate and con people into thinking he's better than he is. Was a decent footballer, but not that awesome as he's been made out to be. His linkages through the club benefited him immensely financially through gigs like JB Were, property and media deals, etc. Let's not forget he and his wife got conned in paying 35K for a leaky pvc downpipe.

At present I guess he has so much dirt on what the AFL did to help out the *, that the AFL just wants to placate him as much as possible and are telling their paid media to tow the line.

You just know in your bones they'll inject him into the role.

Not sure they know how to dispose of hazardous waste correctly at The Hangar.
You stick your finger in an incorrectly sealed container, you can get a nasty jab and maybe a serious infection.

I’d love to see Hird back because:
1. He hasn’t worked significantly in the industry in at least 7 years
2. He is narcissistic enough to believe that this lack of experience stands him in good stead to understand and excel,in the modern game
3. He has little or no trust from the modern players (see Merrett comments)
4. Essington is just Essington
5. Long live Dodo and Hird.

Nah. Bloke could absolutely play.

Can still be a shit bloke, a confidence man, but the dude was magic with a football for a little bit.

Now, need to figure out how to red card myself...
 
Please give Hird the job, would add another layer of interest and death riding to a club so badly run.

It will turn into a circus and set them years back. 7 years out of the game and wasn’t great in the role the first time, players will be strongly divided. No endorsement from The Watsons who would know what happen gives an insight in how he will go.

Please give Hird the job! It will be a great ride.

Agree. Not only could he play was one of the most courageous players to play the game. People like Archer had to be courageous because they lacked anything else but Hird had skill and didn’t need to put his body on the line to be a great.

Great player, doesn’t mean he can coach.
 
Ring Merrett now Austin. He’s prime for a trade request. Moral compasses of a few of their players might start spinning like a Jack Sparrow device. Darcy Parish would look good in Blue also.

Are they that dumb is my question. The club that is.

Watch their membership dive.

Crazy I say, crazy.

They would never trade him to us and we know it. But it's nice to dream though
