I'm really getting sick and tired of Worsfold acting like he got 5 nuggets in his 6 nugget meal Deal in the pressers. The man is coaching for a pay cheque. There is no passion there. The players aren't playing for him. Time for a change

Are you talking about Hird?

I didn't see it, his coaching nous. He could motivate a bunch of players, but how much of that was the messiah complex and the them against us mindset? And is all of that not rather irrelevant to the fact that he went out and pursued a systemic regime of doping designed to give his players unfair advantage, with untested substances that have unknown long term side effects? He was a trusted figure, in a position of authority; he abused that trust, and should never hold such a position again.

Of course he's sympathetic, he is a human being who, either deliberately or otherwise made an abysmal decision, and that decision has tainted everything he has ever accomplished. In no mention of his name, can what occurred at Essendon from the end of 2012-2013 be left to one side. I have utmost sympathy for Hird the person, and I can understand how it could create depression, anxiety. What I do not understand is why that sympathy should mean that he should be allowed reentry into a prestigious industry filled with qualified people of quality who did not subject their players to a pharmacologically adventurous regime of untested substances designed to skirt the rules instead of breaking them, trusting people who were a) unqualified and b) deeply untrustworthy with the health of his players. He is deeply, deeply fortunate to this point that no side effects seem to have emerged yet.

As always, it isn't Hird that is creating the campaign to get him back; he has an agent for that. Marketers and agents are the parasites that feed from the effluence that flows from an abattoir. They're the ones rehabilitating him, and they're the ones defending the indefensible. While I believe in forgiveness I've a very, very long memory, and he had better hope, in any position he achieves from here, he never abuses the trust of those around him in such a harmful way again.
