appointed as assistant coach at the Western Bulldogs, out of the running for Essendon job
28/9 Brad Scott to be interviewed on Thursday
29/9

 

[Schnitzengruben]

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I think if we had these honest, transparent insights a bit more often people wouldn't get so excited about titbits.

And it's the same sort of thing that you want from a coach in order to influence the rules to be interpreted in your favour too.

There has been plenty of discussion and insights into Hird and despite them saying they've had enough, their responses tend to suggest they can't get enough of his tidbits.

 

[boncer34]

Do you think the playing group are happy with his comment?

Yes

 

[Duster]

Do you think the playing group are happy with his comment?

The ones he's spoken to probably are. The others probably don't care. But in reality, how would we know? However I think it's safe to assume that he'd had chats with the other people in his workplace about who their new coach will be and his statement reflected those chats.

 

[BrunoV]

Re Merrett and in seriousness.

Was he asked if Hird should coach, assuming he gets the job by default. Or was it suggested that an independent panel could recommend him as coach.

Context is always king.

 

[BrunoV]

And there you go

 

[Zach Package]

And there you go

Careful, I don’t think Tom Brown knows what the word means

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yes

What about his out of context follow up?

 

[DERO]

Can't double down on this one.

 

[boncer34]

What about his out of context follow up?

Yes

 

[jmoo wan]

this thread has more twists and turns than a mexican soap opera.

So why follow up with he was taken out of context?

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yes

You're probably right. Why wouldn't they be happy. Young fit men on a load of $$$ popping pills, slamming drinks in Ibiza and traveling Europe.

 

[Duster]

So why follow up with he was taken out of context?

Optics my friend.

 

[boncer34]

Optics my friend.

Lots of Zebra hunting going on

 

[The Donners]

Re Merrett and in seriousness.

If all else fails deny deny deny!

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Optics my friend.

I see. Now he cares about optics. I guess he follows the Barham school of leadership.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

I am old enough to remember we started all this to get Clarko.

 

[jmoo wan]

and then there’s Parish, probably sober in Fiji with the fiancé reading books. ****ing nerd.

 

[boncer34]

It is completely implausible that he spoke off the cuff when asked without warning and has since been reeled in by the club.

 

[DonsRule]

I am old enough to remember we started all this to get Clarko.

What was it like when Edward VIII was King?

 

[The Prosecutor]

It is completely implausible that he spoke off the cuff when asked without warning and has since been reeled in by the club.

Not to mention it has now become apparent to him that the club is actually batshit enough to have him coach again.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

It is completely implausible that he spoke off the cuff when asked without warning and has since been reeled in by the club.

Oh no doubt that's likely what happened. No major deal. Just don't think it's good leadership.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

and then there’s Parish, probably sober in Fiji with the fiancé reading books. ******* nerd.

De-list.
