Essendon vs Adelaide

[HBF]

Who will Goddard be lining up for his finger pointing after the game.

Every time they show Hird he is eating the phone. #munchies

James Hird is no quitter but his position has become untenable. The club has deteriated from a top 8 side to the laughing stock of the AFL. They desperately need a fresh start and the only way this can happen is with a clean out of the office holders currently at the club. How can Essendon possibly hope to progress forward when Paul Little, who idiotically extended Hirds contract with a fat pay rise, remains in charge. His decision to fight the AFL and ASADA has proved disasterous. He, Hird and Reid should be marched out the door at first opportunity. It dosent even matter if that is fair or not.

How's Timmy the architect doing today?

He likes what he sees with some of the Essendon players

 

[Mr Eagle]

It really is Globetrotters v Generals.

Is that the same Eddie Betts who played for Carlton????

Don't forget how damn good he was at Carlton too though.

His 2013 makes people forget how good he was before. 38, 42, 50, 48 goals in 4 consecutive years, considering he was only 22 in the year he kicked 38, as well as making a big name for himself with his tackling. Was also a gun player.

Now he's gone through some tough times as an AFL player, got rid of some of his weaknesses, and is a more all-rounded player yes, but the talent was always there.

 

[YeahNahYeahNah]

I actually feel bad for Hird and the Essendon players. Weird feeling.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

I honestly can't believe that these witches hats are the same team that beat Hawthorn in round 2. If the two teams played each other next week then some record margins will surely tumble.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

brave football by the dons only lost by 112 points copped 11 goals in the last quarter #sobrave

 

[HBF]

4.8 to 23.6 after Quarter time.

Stat of the year.

 

[Jaeger]

That was good to watch. Well done Crows.

 

[DERIBERATE]

Is any coach safe in the AFL if they do Essendon by less than 100 points?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I think the noose has just tightened on hird.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

has hird forgotten he is actually being paid to coach?

Speaks volumes for the impact Bomber Thompson had on the group.

Hird can't coach.

I liked the part when Eddie kicked the goals.

 

[Flukey!]

Well done Bombers.
You kept them to under the Hawks score against the Blues.
Our record remains intact.

 

[believe_it]

Please don't sack Hird - I want more fun

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Essendon's game plan so out dated

Hird clueless

 

[moses]

Surely hird has to go. That was a training run for us.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

So sick of this club Hird can heck right off.

As if he had a choice with the extension - Hird wasn't going to step aside for his suspension and would have sued the club, the league and probably Little himself if they'd have 'cut him loose' as Paul put it.

Hird had them over a barrel at the time and clearer took his 'punishment' on the condition that he was guaranteed a new contract.

 

[Silvagnis]

Wonder if Carlton have upped the ante in our search for a coach to head off the Bombers.

The Essendon ego should see Hird survive this...

Hard to get a read on Campo who has Worsfold riding shotgun.

 

[leeloo]

I feel for the supporters.

 

[Randomizor]

Any smart club would sack Hird now. As it's Essendon, he'll get a pay rise tomorrow or something.

 

[Lawrst]

To the rest of the competition, you're welcome.
