Essendon fans, how do you feel about James Hird now?

[Bigeasy]

By "feel" you mean "the utter contempt that the goo chugging #standbyhird mob deserve" right?

They were only defending their club which most of us would have done

 

[RelaxMax]

Bomber Blitz must be worth a visit.. warning very strong Kool Aid

Yeah nah

What little sympathy I have for some of their supporters would not survive the onslaught

 

[Les Norton]

Got what they deserved but i do feel for their supporters who had to endure this shit.

I hear you BE; but they all "stood by Hird". If the renounced him for being the campaigner he was 3 years ago aid be more sympathetic

Can't agree with that. If this was Hawthorn and Hird was Matthews, I would have been screaming for his head years go.

 

[T2B_]

Yeah, I can understand defending one's club, but many * fans just went far, far too far in their delusion and blind faith in someone like Hird. Like, it was actually scary.

 

[elMM]

Jasper Pittard would never do this to Port Adelaide!

Im glad his hatred of Hawthorn is some way contributed to his actions and his demise.
Haters gunner jab.
Jabbers gunner ruin a century old clubs reputation

Hird’s claim he hated Hawthorn more than any other team.

Hird said his childhood left him no choice but to despise the Hawks.

“I watched Hawthorn beat Essendon in the 1983 grand final and I cried for three hours,” he said.

“I watched Dipper knock out Kevin Walsh in the 1984 grand final.

“I hated Hawthorn, i just hated them.

“Every time I played against Hawthorn I wanted to beat them because of the memories I had as a kid.

Shocked to be sitting here.

Sad day for the sport, feel for the players and every rational supporter. There's still a long way to go til they hit the bottom I would imagine...

Good chuckle at some of the dickhead things that were said by the usual suspects though.

That Jimmy contract extension
Suck it Essendon you deserve everything you got.

 

[captain blood 17]

Personally I feel pretty darn good about James.

Wow, the delusion is strong in that one.

Couldn't help but think of, as a Perth Glory supporter, the salary cap scandal from last season. A lot of us were very torn, we wanted to back the club but we all knew Tony Sage was as dodgy as they came! I think Essendon supporters probably should have recognised their admin was a bunch of crooks as well and made their peace with this sooner

Easy to say Les

Ironic that all thats left is the chemist
Who is lucky there arent any frozen urine samples from his previous coaching gig

 

[ArcherOfLoaf]

Liar, cheat & thief ... Give him the life ban he deserves ...

Elect the man to Parliament, surely Tanner can vouch for him?

 

[Northworth]

how is #standbyhird trending now?


campaigner

 

[JoseMourinho]

Hirdy and Goodes as Labor Candidates? Sheesh, I hope not otherwise they will definitely lose the next election.

 

[vjknight]

So yeah its great these guys are finally coming out of the woodwork and blaming Hird but pretty pissweak they didn't have the guts to do it years ago.

And this will be a very long list.

3 AGM's.

Pissweak

 

[Brenno]

As a player I will always remember his fondly..

Having said that if he crossed the street In front of me now I would probably hit him
