James Hird — January 2017 onwards

Would love to get Caracella to the club.

And maybe someone from Hawthorn to fix midfield - Ratten perhaps.

If Hird wanted to coach again would offer him any assistant role he wanted

Won’t come back

Caracella a must i would throw the cheque book at him and tell he can coach when Worsfolds contract is up

Hmmm I’m wondering if the club have asked the question.

They can ask him at the 1993 reunion event that’s coming up.

He won’t go back while certain people are still there. No he has not been asked. But his heart is at Bomberland

Like who?

Agree with this. Also think there are too many people at the club more worried about sucking up to the AFL then worrying about the best for the club. Until there’s a shift I’m not sure they’d have the balls to invite hird back.

Didn’t the AFL say they would be fine with Hird coming back in whatever capacity?

Hird and Caracella, two Essendon people that were part of some success, might be able to rebuild the culture of the club.

Seriously. He didn’t say anything that isn’t obvious. Actually when you analyse what was said, neither say anything at all really.

Definitely this! Although I believe he is working hard throughout the game, it was somewhat disheartening to see him fluffing around, kicking around his body looking for the miracle goal before the game. That’s what you do at the end of a session when you’re tapering off, have a bit of fun. It shouldn’t be what you’re doing to prepare for a game.

He had very few set shots in his warm up. He should be taking every opportunity to improve his goal kicking and practicing his routine in the conditions and on the grounds where he’s playing.

Takes an assistant role next year,(completes Lev 4 Coaching BS of course!! ) … and then takes the Reins from woosha in 2020.

You heard it here 1st …

Do we have to wait that long?

I would give a limb for that to happen!

Your limbs are safe. It won’t happen.
