Hird to return to Essendon in August

[Gavin Excell]

As confirmed by Little last week on ch7.

You wonder whether they are better off just seeing it through first and keeping him away from it all.

Almost a provocative act to have him come back at this point.

 

[JakeandFatman]

If Essendon fans were offended over Jobe Watson getting boo'd wait until they see what happens to James Hird when he walks around the boundary line. Wouldn't surprise me if security needs to step in.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Not a good decision.

 

[KGBeast]

Impossible! How can it be? What about all them crimes he was charged with?

Almost?

 

[PoopingHindi]

im happy for a vainglorious cheat with no integrity and little proven coaching ability to take the helm at the Bombers

...its no less than what they deserve

 

[morgoth]

Refuse to watch any game Hird coaches in, let alone attend. He is a disgrace to the game and the fact Essendon think he can come back, let alone with open arms, just shows what arrogant turds they are.

Its time for the AFL presidents to grow a set of nuts and threaten the commission with over-throw if they do not step in and ban Hird. Let him go to court, let him sue, just keep him away from the game he has turned into a circus. Essendon are like all cultists, they need intervention from outside parties for their own good.

 

[The 747]

Won't be good for the EFC's image but it seems pretty clear they dont care at all about that.

It is hard to imagine how the whole AFL show would work with someone so obviously at odds with them as a coach. Going to be a bit awkward at all those lunches......

 

[Thrawn]

Will he be coaching as soon as he comes back? Just in time for our match with them. Hopefully we'll smash them and not kick a billion behinds.

First time in my life I will back Carlton, yes, Essendon are now my most hated, reviled team.

I would support Manchester United over Essendon!

 

[Rivanwarder]

Essendon as a club seem to be embracing their status as Australia's biggest sporting cheats. Let the poster boy do his rounds. Forever tainted.

Real shame not to be able to hear your opinions on Essendon games anymore. But one must respect your decision and move on with life.

Somehow, the Essendon community will move on without your razor sharp insight. It will take us some time. But we'll get there.

TISM

 

[Tiger08]

But but but but.. the process of investigating Hirdy's cheating was flawed.. so he's still my hero.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Hird being reinstalled as head coach is a far greater punishment than anything ASADA could come up with. The sooner the better.

 

[sauce_head]

Can't wait until the bombers are strung out after these court challenges. Two lost years before the suspensions are even laid...

 

[ManWithNoName]

Hirdy'll come back NAB Cup Rd 1 next year. Essendon fans will love it. Opposition fans will act like the world's ended.

Then the next week someone'll get suspended or some new rule will be ridiculous and people will forget all about Hirdy.

 

[mehow2g]

Do it for the lolz.

Yeah, like people forgot all about Lance, and Cartlon cheating, and Marion Jones cheating etc etc etc.

He's already cooked.

If you choose to spend your time at the game worrying about the opposition coach and what you think he did and how evil he is and how dare he come back, instead of supporting your own team, then I'd say that says much more about you as a human being than it does about him.

Don't lump us with dopers please. $10k in a paper bag under the table isn't in the same realm as what they did.

 

[Armchair Critic]

My only interest is how the players react. We really will find out whether they want him back or not.

I hope Collingwood approaches the AFL about giving up ANZAC day. Do not want my club associated with such arrogan
.

Perhaps you could raise that with Eddie at your AGM? It's clearly something you're passionate about and feel strongly about, I say go along to the AGM and stand up in front of real people and put your case forward.
