Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

[HirdsTheWord]

I'm not quite sure you understand what melting means bro. All non-Essendon fans think this is hilarious.

dunno, looks like you guys are taking it personally haha

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Is no one else interested?

[threesixpio]

Jeez you lot a a bunch of infantile babies rambling on with your imaginary detailed insights into the inner workings of the EFC

I pray Hirdy gets back in just so you can all freak out and run around in circles screaming hysterically in outrage

It’s gunna kill most of you

Hilarious

Do you a really want him back? He got sacked because the team were not performing well. How many teams have brought back a failed coach…like ever

 

[Go_Roos!]

But, what about his "business "? Selling chocolates out of the back of his car, will he be prepared to leave that?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Essendon literally have no choice.
They came out saying they want an experienced coach.
The only experienced coach to put their name up is Hird

Nobody else is that stupid.

That is literally what they wanted. Manufacture a way to make it look like they searched for the best coach but only ever really wanted Hird.

How do Walls and Lewis maintain their integrity without quitting now?

By openly refusing to put Hird on the short list.

 

[Del191229]

We double dog dare you !

So what if some Hawthorn dog and washed up old hack like Jordan Lewis and Robert Walls say no.

What would they know about Real Essendon Men.

Feels like 93 already!

Mountains of dodgy cash and a limp wristed penalty from the AFL cucks ?

The whole thing regarding the interview process does feel staged. I don't think Hird would have put his hat in the ring if he wasn't given some kind of guarantee. If he isn't given the job then he is aware of the perception that even his old club couldn't trust him (Not necessarily true).

That and you have influential people like Sheedy pushing for him to be coach and the culture of the club seems to be very inclusive of "Essendon people" and reluctant to embrace someone outside Essendon.

The best bit is how you guys don't get that we are laughing our guts at you.

 

[Trucker Tiger]

If Hird cared about the club, he would have ruled himself out of coaching it ever again.

But he doesn't. He only cares about himself, despite what his 360 mouthpiece says most nights.

His 360 mouthpiece is a Hird parrot. Whatever he says is exactly what Jimmy wants him to say. Only with a lot more ums ands ahhs, slurring and camp looking arm waving.

I for one welcome James back into the head coaches fold.

It sure will be interesting this time around though. He will be without his two most valuable attributes which he had during his previous stint- Bomber Thompson and 34 doped up footballers playing well above their natural abilities.

Literally can't tell if Shane Heard is the world's best troll or just insanely deluded. Either way - good value

Possibly a mix of both but you're correct, brings a bit to this and every thread.

The fact that Sheedy is the mastermind behind this whole thing, is what it makes it so funny. And the fact that there's 'powerful' people at Essendon that still think Sheedy is some cunning genius is what makes that part even funnier!

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I’m hearing Essendon mouthpieces saying what if he goes through the process and is judged the best candidate?

My first thought would be how in the **** could someone who has been out of coaching for 7 years but for a crash course up in GWS , and oversaw the collapse of a club contributing to a shady program that saw his players lose a year of their careers and set the club back 5 years possibly be the best candidate?

Ah **** it I don’t care, just hire him.

yes Essendon are shaking in their boots that a team that finished last 2 seasons in a row is laughing at us

cutting us to the core it is rofl.

I would be a better candidate and I would be a terrible coach.

 

[jj1978]

So the other candidates are now sitting back thinking what’s the point? Robbo and Hird media are making it feel like his reemployment is a given. No wonder Ross and a few others pulled out, their BS detectors must’ve been triggered.

Hird’s camp has been leaking and driving things from the outset. Magically James starts dabling again at GWS, articles start to reappear trying to disassociate his role in the injection regime, he’s introduced as a God at the 150th, we hear that GWS players love him yet I’ve never seen them say so (and if so why didn’t GWS beg him to apply).

 

[Percel]

Nobody else is that stupid.

Are you sure?

I know a guy...

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Wow, without Bomber telling him exactly what do his win record is what 24%? Must be one hell of a presentation to cover over that lack of coaching skill.

He plans to have Bomber on a live feed from prison to help out. It's a rehabilitation deal.
