James Hird — January 2017 onwards

His podcast with Crawf back in the day was great.

Just watched him on Footy Furnace. Good to see him back.

That being said, I thought quite a few of his takes were….interesting to say the least.

Very impressive from the great man. Like he’s never been away from the game.

Would much rather him (or anyone else really) hosting On The Couch over Jack Riewoldt

Jack should be on 360 with Gerard and put Garry Lyon back On the Couch with Bucks, Browny and Lewis.

Or, avoid all football shows.

Jack lostme with his commentary of our praccy game with Geelong, when he stopped talking about the action and started inserting facts from his personal career history. Is it really so difficult to just call the actual game?

massive wanker vibes on Jack Riewoldt

My goodness it’s painful to watch, i use to love on the couch, but he’s ruining it. I was shocked he got the gig in the first place, but he’s even worse than i expected as a host.

He’s actually a pretty nice guy. He has lots of time for people.

Is he a traditional host? Perhaps not but he’s pretty genuine.

He’s on the wrong show. Should be on 360 with Gerard and Garry Lyon should be hosting On the Couch. No reason to ruin that dynamic he had with Bucks and Browny…

My swans mate was disappointed when Hird took the Essendon job as. He was one of the good ones in the media.

Diggers?

He didn’t have a thing for Serena Williams, so likely not.

Nah. 360 is supposed to be an odd couple. Gerard the expert and Robbo the everyday man.
Garry is too serious. I think they picked the wrong person. Hird would have been wrong as well.

Yeah. That’s what I’m alluding to. Get Jack on 360 with Gerard.

That’s a good pick.

Jason Dunstall would work well.

Just needs to sit somewhere between his commentary analysis (which I really rate) and his Bounce persona.

Agree about Dunstall’s analysis, he is v good.
