[a_fighting_fury]

His winning record is 48%, far from the worst.

What's his record WITHOUT Bomber Thompson??

His neighbours will finally get there osp back

 

[Grizzly86]

Big news, why is it tucked away in a sub forum?

it's Essendon's on field performance that got him in the end.

Some of the Bombers fans didn't even think it should be here, simply on their board, and nowhere else.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Ohhh. heck off Caro. No one wants to hear your crap.

I do.

i actually feel sad for your state of mind. Defending Hird right until the end. Wasting so much of your time on a bloke who couldnt give a **** about his own players, let alone piss-ant blind faith supporters like yourself.

Some people just cant let go I guess...

What does it achieve? Storming around the forums quoting anyone who says something anti-Hird?

 

[jenny61_99]

lol that doesn't even make sense, you've lost it again

On one hand he says it is all about the players. The next minute he didn't even consult them about his decision to resign. Wouldn't you ask them what they wanted?

Tonight live on AFL360 - Robbo rants and raves that it's all the AFL's fault, then cries. Gerard looks awkward.

you forgot the spittle.

......why do people always forget the spittle.

 

[mickelboy182]

the quality of the man is shown by his willingness to fall on his sword to let the club recuperate. You can't fault that, just selfless. Champion to the end.

OK, I retract my previous mockery. You are clearly taking the piss.

• I don't think I'd see the funny side if my (ex)coach called me soft even in a joke on live national TV.

That sounds a lot like when Eddie McGuire goes into stand up comedian mode.

 

[Bazzar]

Who was theplayer hird called soft?

 

[NathanMX]

2 more wins then Carlton, yeah doing better them then, then again the Blues get the first pick
Scored 3 more points only then Carlton despite actually having a forward line
And now another untested coach, well unless they can poach Bolton somehow

Though not yet as bad as the Blues, but heck there are still 3 more games to play

You must be taking the piss now Lance!

the players would have begged him to stay. It would only have made it harder for him to do what he knew was right, as tough as it would have been given his love for the club

She shot so many "poison arrows" at Hird, one had to stick eventually.

 

[Grizzly86]

Ohhh. heck off Caro. No one wants to hear your crap.

For those of us that do... What time is it on in QLD?

 

[Satan]

Robbo should

* in a timely manner

 

[Obese Arachnid]

That's it, I'm done, the drugs have taken their toll. I ******* quit! **** you AFL!

With the payout he just got, won't qualify for the dole until 2048.

And he'll still be protesting his innocence & re-throwing people under the bus.

Ugh! Who started "full-naming" the clubs? I reckon it was Joe Gutnick, coz he hung out in non-football circles, so the stipulation was often necessary. It's an annoying formality

"I love the Essendon Football, and have always loved the Essendon Football Club. I have chosen the leave the Essendon Football Club because it's the best thing for the Essendon Football Club. I also love the players at the Essendon Football Club, and the fans of the Essendon Football Club.", etc etc

AAAAgh! You can just say "Essendon"; we'll know what you mean.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Little said he signed a confidentiality agreement. That will determine his actions over the next 6-12 months. After that who knows how much he will reveal or who he tees off at.

Plot twist...Dank's spreadsheet is in the time capsule.

 

[L_W_P]

I didn't see that as blaming WADA, but you have to admit once the ASADA part was done people settled down about it. Then it ramped up again when WADA appealed.

He's not wrong I don't think.

Then they are in over their heads.

If the majority of people on the HTB knew that a WADA appeal was possible how the hell did Hird and co allow the club to relax before it was finalised?

"Its ok guys. WADA wont appeal coz the AFL cleared us."

That's a massive **** up.

At the announcement of this news, fat vlads sphincter quivered uncontrollably and soiled the tighty whities.

 

[jenny61_99]

Why would you pay out someone that has resigned?
