James Hird — January 2017 onwards (Part 1)

If Hird came back it would be a complete circus

All I want for Christmas . Time to restore some pride and respect in the club, screw what other clubs and supporters think.

Thats a fair point.

Id prefer we bring in someone new, but I do believe Hird is a better coach than Scott.

Do you think he’s the first one to try? The mere act of ‘trying’ is not anything special.

It should also be noted that Hird tried to change the club too. Didn’t go so well.

Brad made 2 prelims so Hird is not a better coach

We love a circus as a club head honchos might as well dress like clowns

Scott HAS changed the club.
It is now so very, very much worse!

Appointing Hird as coach would make us the laughing stock of the competition and deservedly so.

Do you agree if Essendon is forced to trade Merrett then Brad will be forced to go?

Martin and Redman senior players in the leadership group just backed brad and the clubs direction everyone seems to be on board and you want to fark up by brining Hird back

We still need to rebuild though, whoever the coach is next year.

we can’t be forced. to trade or not is our decision.

You say that like it’s anything out of the ordinary.
There is absolutely nothing going for our current coach. Nothing.
Our captain and Easily best player getting sick of this garbage isn’t an outlier.

Should be replacing Barham - not the coach - and clean out the useless Board.

Too much potential drama, blowback and heartache with Hird back as coach

We kinda do players that are all in with brad which is majoirty of the list will.jump ship if they sacked him

All of it.
You can’t sack the board, in part for hiring the coach, and then keep the coach.

It’s great that all the past Essendon folk want to help.

The club should find a way for them to do that.

Outside of the footy department.

We’re stuck with George - even though I’d be getting rid of him. Just think a better long term role for Hird is as President - in a couple of years when the Barham Scott era is terminated.

He could be there for 20 years

Hirdy is one of my favourite ex players

But senior coach, no
