Bahaha that is actually hilarious. Paul Little's reaction is priceless. It's funny when you see stiff, boardroom types doing this.


Hird was sitting with Little and Campbell
on Saturday at the footy. Level 2 aisle 41.


Really? I must be very unobservant.

It's 'The Place To Be'.

Wilson apparently tried the Ice Bucket challenge,

but the water refused to come out of the bucket!

I like how they didn't tip it on Hirdies hair.

 

Edit: Dammit, soulnet beat me in The Thorry Thaga Thread

Surely he will take part in holding the premiership cup aloft when passed to him from Jobe & Bomber?

I want a vince mcmahon strut out onto the ground, through the banner

I am a real essendonian

fight for the rights of every man

I am a real essendonian

fight for whats right, fight for your life!

Loved the 'I've got a few friends in the media' comment too!

 

Could not think of a worse PR decision than having Hirdy do anything on match day. 

How about be bossed around by various media *******, and do everything they ask, and buy into the concept of them running the whole show for 14 months??

 

You got me

He is the coach next year, he should be in the box.

Look at that tension at EFC! Rifts everywhere!

Relax. He’ll be in the circle after the game singing with the boys.

  CW - Ice bucket challenge causes rift, Ess now in freefall.

Essendon - Ice - No.

I just posted this in the Sorry Sharkga Thread but it's probably more appropriate in here...

 

*****************************

 

I think it's interesting to note how Hird's return has been managed.

 

- Prior to his return to Australia it was announced that he would not be coaching this year, but rather have back room duties regarding list management and planning for 2015.

 

- Arrives home from France earlier than expected.

 

- Meets discreetly with senior players over dinner prior to his suspension ending, to 'make plans for 2015'.

 

- Attends the footy on the weekend with Little and Campbell (is this confirmed?)

 

- Fronts the press on Monday with the new CEO as he returns to work, confirms he wants Bomber to stay and receives tour of the new facility from Neil Craig (Hird's new boss).

 

- Is part of a video for fans on Tuesday which shows him mixing with the players/Jobe/Bomber/Little etc having a bit of a laugh and raising money for charity.

 

 

 

I'd say his return has been managed pretty well so far? Amiright?

 

I heard Mike Sheehan ***** about how Hird didn't have to have a tour of the facility and he could have stayed home etc... I think it was stage managed well. Tell the press when you'll be available, give then some sound bites, pose for some photos, control the narrative.

 

The fact is, right now we are the biggest story in town, and if the press want to be a part of it, they will have to start playing nice.
