James Hird — January 2017 onwards

[aboods]

Jim has the royal box around him from a coaching perspective, we gave Matty Knights campo.

I do sometimes wonder what Knighta could have done with some better assistants.

who seriously spends any time wondering anything about Knighta?

[aboods]

The majority of opposition supporters have their mind set. They do not want to enter into back and forth discussion on this topic. As far as they’re concerned, Essendon are cheats and Hird is still the most evil person on the planet.

You know I hear this here a lot, but have had just the opposite experience, other than one or two. Maybe I just speak tp more intelligent people, but I’m talking a fair number of perfect strangers on Trains after games, in pubs etc, … Hawk Filth even FC people.

The vast majority over the past 2 years or so, actually think/know we got screwed and really feel for us and James.

It always really strikes me when I see this posted, and I can’t for the life of me understand why my encounters on the whole differ so starkly.

I’m going to guess that these encounters often start with you giving some random person a really obscure nickname, or you talking about cukes.

Then they just feel sorry for “this really strange guy” so they go along with anything you say after that to make them feeling like they’re making you feel better

Let’s start small. I’d just love to see him at training, in the stands at a match and and attend club functions like other past players.

Would Knighta have been any better with Dank’s support?

what I take out of that article is that rucci is still a bottom feeding parasite.

Edit: the other seemingly not posted article…

[Captain_Jack]

He would be ideal analyzing opposition players.

[Mackster]

Pity that at the time he wasn’t good at analysing his real opposition though.

I think he would be now though.

Fitzpatrick - Stuck Up Prick
Demetriou - Fat Prick
Wilson - Ugly Prick
Evans - Weak Prick
Dank- Stupid Prick
Sarah - Fantasy Prick
Barrett - Crater Prick
Smith - Scared Prick

Basically - they are all just a pack of ■■■■■■.

i wonder how woosha (knighta 2.0) will turn out.

does that count?

[Bessie]

Just to see his name in this discussion makes me sick.

[yaco55]

Many are jumping at shadows - Hird served his suspension in 2014 and coached again in 2015 - There is no AFL ban official or unofficial to stop him coaching - Of course some clubs may be reluctant to hire Hird.

[barnz]

Wow never thought of it that way…

[yaco55]

Don’t need your smart ■■■■ reamarks which add nothing to the discussion.

[Finding_Nino]

Just go on Bigfooty there is plenty of them but I agree I spoke to a Collingwood supporter yesterday (first time I’ve met him) and he said that every club was on some sort program and not just Essendon.

It’s amazing how much your average supporter that you meet on the train or pub after the game that understands the situation rather then flat out saying “Essendon are cheats and Hird is an evil person” society has become sheeps.

[Klawdy]

This sounds horrible but…

If gerard whatley died I wouldn’t bat an eyelid. That’s a terrible thing to say. But he is such a self congratulatory wanka. Absolute brown nose worm. And gutless. Absolutely gutless

Yep, it is horrible.

He’s a bit of a ■■■■, but that’s as far as I’d go.

[Fozdog]

Yep, Knights missed out.

How the ■■■■ is anyone jumping at shadows? Everyone knows there isn’t any ban.

Some of us just think that ALL clubs WILL be reluctant to hire Hird as a senior coach…ever.

Shadow jumper. You’re not as enlightened as yaco. So step back.

I reckon that the suspension to the players had a real impact on the “sympathy and understanding” from other supporters. Without the suspension, punters are stil bemoaning that Essendon probably got away with cheating even though no one knows what was taken. With the suspension, punters can appear magnanimous in their sympathy for the players that got punished without evidence of any wrongdoing. But where were their opinions before the suspensions???

FWIW. The caveat here is that those who wish to be forgiven, would be silly to refuse to forgive others.
But he is righteous in this one at least.

I’m with Kevin Sheedy - James Hird should be given another opportunity that’s what sport use to be about until the country was taken over by Do Gooders who have never made a mistake
