Where is Essendon at?

[bisazc887]

Will they sack Hird if they miss out next year too?

No way, its all Matty Knights fault

Ironic comment is ironic.

Why is that ironic? Fair question imo. The funny thing is, like Brissy, they've made a favourite son coach so they can't give him the arse too quickly. Essendon are in trouble and I for one find it highly amusing, bad luck Jimmy "Wingnut" Hird!

waits for bomber fans to derail this thread to be about Richmond, and not Essendon..

Lol. Richmond have been the king of coach sackings.

Lol. Richmond have been the king of coach sackings.

So what does that have to do with Essendon and their situation right now?

 

[Ron The Bear]

Lol. Richmond have been the king of coach sackings.

Strictly speaking, Walls was the last to be "sacked".

 

[Spitta09]

They start well every year and get injuries in the second half, its like a script has been like that for the past 4-5 years. Knights had even more injuries when he was there.

I was being serious, if they miss the finals this year and next will they sack Hird?

 

[SdKfz 181]

yes, have, not anymore though, its been 15 years since we have sacked a coach..

 

[Heisenberg_]

How can you miss the finals after being 8-1?
No excuse to miss the 8 from the position, injuries are no excuse from that position.

they will never sack him, he would probably step down if it ever got to that stage..

They probably should, but they probably won't.

 

[The greatest team]

It couldn't happen to a better club.

"What does Essendon stand for ", an article James Hird wrote prior to the Anzac day match in 2010 when Mathew Knights was coaching.

Why hasn't James Hird received the same vitriol Mathew Knights received from Essendon supporters.

What goes around come around!

 

[Tas]

They should unleash the cheque book and go after Boak, they need him more than Geelong or North does.

 

[Doughboy]

Shocking run of injuries and with fletcher going down, won't look good for them for finals

 

[the big lebowski]

Umpires

 

[jko'neal]

I think it's a very fair question, not a young list and rely on too few.

 

[Badesumofu]

I feel as if this question needs to be asked.

They've lost quite a few in a row and Carlton are on track to score just under 200 points and win by over 100. The Bombers have literally choked on their September aspirations this season and whether it be injuries...

When, exactly, did people start using the word 'literally' to mean 'figuratively'? Because they literally (hur hur) have opposite meanings. No really, look it up. It's actually quite ironic. No, literally ironic - using a word that means the opposite of what you really mean. Just unintentionally ironic.

They wont make finals. HAD can troll Richmond but this year, the tigers have never played as bad as this.

Umpires

pathetic but so are the bombers

puts north into perspective

 

[CAS79]

This is an excellent point. Essendon's list is still very two tiered and Hird/Thompson have to tip the apple cart at the end of this year and get rid of some constant half hearted players.

 

[MadBomberman]

They are still in round 14.

Forgot the season went for 23 rounds

 

[mxett]

Waits for Richmond fans to stop trolling.......

 

[Runk]

Where are we at? Rebuilding clearly.
A very poor second half of the season.

IMO we've run out of legs and bodies. Might be an idea to go over the list come end of year and make some tough decisions that 'probably' should've been made last year.
Oh well......

 

[hoss]

Complete disarray. Fancy being in contention for finals and not even trying.
