Sheeds wants Hird back. It's happening.

Are they not traumatized by James Hird coaching era?

 

[Bugs1977]

Have heard Yze is a lock for the GWS job

Love Yze. Reckon he'll be a top coach.

No, they blame it all on the afl and dank.

It's funny isn't it. I've never had a second team in my life, but I honestly hope Clarko has success at North, and will almost barracking for them for anyone other than Hawthorn! But if he went to Essendon, I'd find it hard to forgive him for crossing over the dark side and would hate him for it.

You obviously weren't around for the 70's.....$%@# North.

 

[Billyc]

What really makes me happy is that Andrew Bogut doesn’t get his way

A truly dumb and awful person who was lucky to be born tall.

 

[Bedi]

haha yep fair enough. Well aware of the rivalry, but yes, too young to experience it. Still can't get over Kennedy went to coach them. Very similar to Clarko going to Essendon I imagine?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

The next Essendon Board meeting will be entirely around the question of whether enough time has passed since the Hird drug years to reappoint him.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

75 was my first attendance at a GF.
Glad Clarko is going to NM and not *.

 

[Stratton24]

What a surprise! Didn't see that coming.

Much.

He’s not smart enough to do an article that quick so he’s had it ready to go cut and paste for this exact moment.

 

[Stratton24]

Well done Mercy Seat you were on the money. A lot of talk about him going to Essendon but a lot of it mostly over blown by the media i would imagine

It was real. The Scum thought they had him.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Hawthorn had the balls to get rid of a coach after a lengthy tenure that included 4 premierships

In comparison Essendon have people involved with just as long a tenure that have achieved very little

There was no way Sheedy would allow Clarko to out do him

Long may the Essendon mind set continue

Do any of you guys watch 'Superstore'?

Sheedy in his current state gives me Lowell Anderson crazy vibes

 

[JustKickIt]

No, they blame it all on the afl and dank.

... and Excel

 

[extractasam]

Why? He played there.
What is your option for his AFL home?

Probs the one he coached 4 flags at

Worth watching the Mike Sheehan interview and how he talks about what Ron Joseph did for his disabled son. Much respect for that.

 

[extractasam]

It’s like Essendon forget Hird intentionally OD’d on prescription drugs just 5 years ago as result of the last saga. For his own sake - surely the fk not.

 

[Flukey!]

I'm glad that Clarko has chosen North.
It has a good feel to it.

Can we can all get back to singing Kumbaya and loving Clarko again now that he hasn't done all those mean things to Ben Rutten

that he supposedly did?

 

[Maybloomer]

Essendon misses out on Clarko
FUBARs the whole coach process
Will likely get Hird

 

[TheFourPillars]

WTF. Mercy Seat was the one saying that the media were all making up the Clarkson/Essendon courtship.

Clarkson admitted that he'd been talking to Essendon yesterday.

Yes of course i was talking about the fact that he mentioned he was going to Nth not Essendon

 

[PT Bar None]

Feel bad for how Truck has been treated, but

 

[extractasam]

Did anyone just watch the Barham presser? Sounds like an absolute noob. Did pot Tom Brownes useless questions though which was pretty funny

 

[Ashman23]

Barham confirmed they were talking to Clarko whilst Rutten is in the job.
