The great man haunts the trolls…

Make sure you compliment him on his luxurious hair on behalf of all Blitzers.

I will endeavor to post a full, (fuller), James Hird report tomorrow.
At this stage, I will report that:
Hirdy has never heard of Bomberblitz.
Hirdy confirmed everything said on Bomberblitz.
Like myself, he drinks red.
Goodnight

It’s just to throw us off the scent that he actually posts here. As Finding Nino.

Hird Report:

Quickly shot down criticism of the surface at the Hangar. Said everyone trains on hard surfaces, bitumen, variety of grounds etc. Didn’t know what, but said something is seriously wrong.

Essendon need to stop being a corporate entity that does what the AFL wants, and return to being Essendon FC. It’s all about culture.

Complimented Collingwood and Geelong on their culture. Also complimented Hawthorn but I think begrudgingly.
They are whole team and family focused. After games they stick together.
Was this a shot at our attempt at AFL lifestyle? He didn’t use those words, but mentioned how players go out separately after games. In his day there was more togetherness.

Talked about 93 and 2000 flags. 1993 was a young team, but driven by a core of senior players who were bitter over the 90 loss to the that team. Senior players were process driven, whilst the baby Bombers were instructed to play freely. 2000 began 3 weeks after that prelim loss. Brutal off-season that paid off.

Dean Wallis was his favourite player to play with. He made Hirdy walk taller and was instrumental in 2000 flag.
Deano was also best off ground. On a trip to Ibiza, Lloydy, (whose love of paparazzi was an ongoing joke), took multiple suitcases, Hirdy one bag, Wallis took his passport.
He washed his clothes each night. When they were off the balcony you knew it was time for happy hour🥳

Flag race is wide open. If someone can crack the Collingwood code they are beatable. Have they peaked early? Well coached and every player has a role, knows everyone else’s role and plays to a system.

Was asked about coaching the Devils. Hasn’t been approached but thought he looked good in green.

Coaching Bombers? Happy atm, but never say never.

Loves Zac. Edit: Loves Caddy - always looking to learn.

Loves Sunny Coast.

Claims to have never heard of Blitz.
Any Blitzers there last night?

No10 Jnr paid a few hundred bucks for a Hirdy ball and I photobombed.

What does he think of dill on his tzatziki?

What does he think about pineapple on pizzas?

Potato salad - skin on or off?

Wallis, LOLZ

Given the publicity behind the Stand by Hird campaign, I find his hard to believe.

Not that I blame him for denying it. Probably in his best interests to

Wasnt there an article years ago when Hirdy tried to jump on the wog bandwagon with his mates Mecuri, Misiti, Alessio, Calthorpe & Olarenshaw by saying his mum had an Italian parent.

Nino is clearly Hirdy. Babida Boopi
