James Hird — January 2017 onwards (Part 1)

Ah! I see you know your Bar-ham-do well!

I have done some calculations and estimate about 86% of your posts on this forum are sarcastic hahaha.

On record saying when Brad Scott came I thought he was our next premiership coach but now my opinion is we need to restore pride back in the place and I think Hirdy is the one to do it, its my view and I understand yours too but seriously when other clubs are openly poaching your contracted players and your captain no doubt , we just cant not try something , we are a laughing stock. I honestly dont care if Hirdy coaches us to a premiership, of course I would love that but I just want some pride and respect in the club again.

Without a Process, sausages are just eyelids and arseholes.

This is like the Tame Impala song “it feels like we only go backwards”

Yes.

And also like tame impala, it is derivative, monotonous crap that seems to go on forever.

I think in AFL and probably most professional sport you only earn respect from winning. Sounds harsh but even if you finish 2nd place continually you’ll be ridiculed.

It’s a coping mechanism that I can also relate to when discussing Essendon.

Please don’t leave out the snouts 'n eyebrows.

Mmmmmmmmm… Snouts

Given Menzie played the last game this year even though his papers were definitely stamped by then, I neither like the process, nor am I sure that Scott is even aware of it.

Perhaps it was so secret we stored it only in Sheil’s head?

I was a huge fan of Shiel off the half back line. There I said it.

You’re allowed to say it. I agree.

It kept him out of the play more often.

This is just so typical of Essendon the last 15 years. As soon as the heat rises and the club is challenged hard, the media go for blood and the Board eventually quivers and sacks a coach. This just can’t happen again now!

Yes, we’re making slow progress and the club isn’t going as smoothly as the Board or fans would like but we can’t just sack another coach and start again. It woukd be a repeat of a cycle of failure that has become culture at Essendon.

This group needs the next 12 months to try and establish what they’ve started, albeit with lots of lumps and bumps. It’s been only 3 years. It’s ridiculous. The expectations just don’t marry up with reality.

God almighty if this club has another Board coup, coach sacking and review.. Back to the drawing board once again.

It did move his poor delivery into the forward line to poor delivery into the midfield…

Hird with the right team around him could be good, Brad and his assistants are a flop.
