James Hird Resigns

its not entirely what happened, its when it happened. start looking for another coach, then sack hird after the final round, and only john carpenter would care. but doing it now, total cop out by the board.
So now the timing is wrong.

i’ve said that multiple times. also mentioned the review. cheers lad.


Speaks volumes

like littles presser and off air talking to caro.


No doubt you would have managed the whole saga after Evans without doing too much wrong.

would’ve moved us to tazzie so nickyd and fairybread can see games live.


Cranking up the volume

You know, you don’t have have to belittle every single poster that’s hurting.
You feel a certain way, that’s fine.
But ffs, enough.
I don’t care if it’s someone I’ve never agreed with in the history of Blitz, which incidentally goes further than your nine months or so, they have a right to feel any way they choose about this.
They’ve done the hard yards.
They’ve fought.
They showed up when they were asked.

Leave them the ■■■■ alone.

Of course they do, doesn't give them the right to shitcan those who aren't as aggrieved as they are about Hird's departure.

You are bagging every single poster who has a problem with the decision.
Just stop it.


OK stalwart, but can you tell those with a huge problem with the decision to refrain from advising those who are dealing with it differently, that EFC is not worthy of anyone’s membership.

Maybe you could point out exactly who is trying to tell others not to be members. All I’ve read is people expressing their personal anger & disappointment & giving their own reasons for making their own decisions followed by you pretending your opinions are more valid.

You haven’t mentioned the constant bagging of the club’s recent actions and what it now represents; some of us feel compelled to respond as a show of support. My opinion is just like yours, no more or no less vaild.

What’s compelling you to respond?

Been here 9 months saying bugger all & comes to life posting like a speed freak with OCD, trying to talk people out of dropping m/ships after the club torched one of it’s best & brightest to appease the AFL …hmm.

I’ve had it on ignore since I saw the first 5 or so.

So you don’t want to talk to Liz?

Always keen for a chat with rolo.

Shifting focus

Is anyone else excited by change? I personally am excited , I haven’t been or watched many games since round 2 , but am going to watch today with interest.

If you think Hird's dismissal is due some AFL/board/government/illumati consipracy, ponder this: We are 15th on the ladder. We just lost by 19 goals. We have won three games since round three. Those games were against the Lions, Demons and Saints. The Saints have since beaten us by 18 goals.

Some of you are rattling on like Hird’s dismissal is some great injustice. Our performance of late is as poor as I can remember from following the team for 30 years. We are not competitive, and we are getting worse. Yes, the ASAGA has contributed to our form, but that issue also raises questions regarding Hird’s viability as coach, as raised Hird himself.

The performance of the team this year simply can’t be attributed to Hird’s viability. I can’t believe people have the blinkers on about that.

We are talking about at various stages of the year the vast majority of the playing group hating their jobs and not wanting to be out there.

The competition is actually so close that if the top side is 5% off mentally and a bottom side 5% on then an upset happens. Fremantle vs St Kilda earlier this year being such a time.

Now think about our players who had climbed out of the well they had been stuck down seemingly forever when the AFL tribunal cleared them, only for WADA to throw them back down there again.

Their heads simply have not been in the game, and combined with injuries to key players exposing our lack of quality depth we’ve lost games.

Hird has been commended by players from CJohns info for “getting them up”, inspiring them to try and play in the right mindset when they don’t really want to be out there. Which works in first quarters but as soon as we tend to fall behind the players simply don’t have the spirit at present to fight back again and again.

The St Kilda game for us came after WADAS provided their evidence brief to the players lawyers of what they were going to be appealing against. No wonder we played like ■■■■.

It is an absolute joke that the club couldn’t support Hird to get past the CAS hearing and allow him to coach players free of the black cloud they constantly have above them.

Of course you are right. The ASAGA has played a huge part in our performances this year. They also raise the question whether someone removed from the ASAGA would be better suited to getting the best out of the playing group.

But shouldn’t that have been determined after the CAS hearing?

If Hird post the players being cleared AGAIN wasnt able to get them performing when their sole focus and his was the footy then yes of course you would have to consider it.

And we had all of next year to do it.

In my opinion Hird deserved to see out his contract, and thereby given the opportunity to coach the players free of the saga.

What’s more we saw that he was perfectly capable of coaching pre-saga, we know he can coach. Goddard heaped praise on Hird for possessing everything a modern day coach requires. The players loved him.

The board has farked up not letting him see out his contract at the very least, bowing to media and AFL pressure over the WIN/LOSS columns when they simply are irrelevant given the players headspace.

Plus of course we’ve already paid him to coach next year so there’s the part about the board wasting our (members) money AGAIN!

If you think Hird's dismissal is due some AFL/board/government/illumati consipracy, ponder this: We are 15th on the ladder. We just lost by 19 goals. We have won three games since round three. Those games were against the Lions, Demons and Saints. The Saints have since beaten us by 18 goals.

The board has farked up not letting a club legend who has sacrificed more to EFC than every single one of them combined see out his contract at the very least. They bowed to AFL pressure as they hate Hird and media pressure over the WIN/LOSS columns & attendances when that is simply irrelevant given the players headspace, which they have now gone and made worse.

Reckon this thread should be renamed crocodile tears.

its not entirely what happened, its when it happened. start looking for another coach, then sack hird after the final round, and only john carpenter would care. but doing it now, total cop out by the board.
So now the timing is wrong.

Very true, and some people are capable of expressing themselves well and some not.

I value the opinion of everyone on here even when I disagree with that opinion. I am going to assume that most here put at least some value into others opinion’s, otherwise we all would not be here.

Carry on being compelled to respond as a show of support, that’s great.

A German lady I knew had a saying ‘you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar’. So true.

There is 3 years of frustration being split here, yourself included. Sometimes it good to step back from a situation to see it from another perspective, if that means walking away for a while for some to lick their wounds and recuperate that’s OK. If like yourself you don’t need to that’s OK as well.

When this journey is over and all are spent, then will be the time to heal and the club may become great again.

Which bottom line (which you seem to be fan of) is what we ALL want.

Just out of interest, do you believe the following statements are true or false:

  • The moon landing was staged in a Holywood studio

False. It was inside Area 51.

- 911 was an inside job

False. Those planes clearly came from the outside of the building.

-- Chemtrails include substances that mollify the public so that the truth about James Hird's dismissal is never revealed

True. Because I can’t think of anything funny for false.

If you think Hird's dismissal is due some AFL/board/government/illumati consipracy, ponder this: We are 15th on the ladder. We just lost by 19 goals. We have won three games since round three. Those games were against the Lions, Demons and Saints. The Saints have since beaten us by 18 goals.

Benfti = wilson's "love" child?

All the hallmarks of a Fairfax hack.

Spin spin spin spin

On the AFL payroll soon (already?)

You are joking I hope.

Ben and I disagree on some things, but he is a fine Bomber person with more credibility than you will ever have.

You live up to your name.

“fine Bomber person” - If the cap fits …like Little, Evans, Mr Wilson…?

Unlike it seems the man who was sacked on Tuesday.

I like the way you defend his right to snipe but not those who respond.

I’ve always tried to live a blob life - it is reassuring to know success has come.

The difference is Mr Blob, that I know benfti and unlike a lot of people, I stick up for my mates. Just like I have always stuck up for James Hird.

and for the record, I strongly disagree with this post from benfti

“One man is not going to unite the club, that happens when everyone who is there starts to pull in the same direction, fans included”

because I would argue that James Hird united the Club like no time in 50 of watching the Bombers; Sheedy went close but not like we have seen with James.

If you disagree with his post - attack him not me.

I was commenting upon the “line” he has been running incessantly for several weeks to ensure that Hird was sacked.

In case you haven’t noticed Wilson and Fairfax have been doing this on the AFL’s behalf for 3 years.

I merely pointed out the similarity albeit somewhat pointedly. I do not believe that was reprehensible but if you do so be it.

I think it is fair comment and very mild given what has been going on - I only compared him to the chief football writer of a Melbourne newspaper (surely a person of great integrity).

Surely you jest.Doubt Benfti has that much influence.

If you think Hird's dismissal is due some AFL/board/government/illumati consipracy, ponder this: We are 15th on the ladder. We just lost by 19 goals. We have won three games since round three. Those games were against the Lions, Demons and Saints. The Saints have since beaten us by 18 goals.

The performance of the team this year simply can’t be attributed to Hird’s viability as coach. I can’t believe people have the blinkers on about that. Clarkson couldn’t have extracted better performances from the group.

We are talking about at various stages of the year the vast majority of the playing group hating their jobs and not wanting to be out there.

Now think about our players who had climbed out of the well they had been stuck down seemingly forever when the AFL tribunal cleared them, only for WADA to throw them back down there again. They were crushed.

Their heads simply have not been in the game all year, and combined with injuries to key players exposing our lack of quality depth we’ve lost games. And once finals were out of the question, what do they really have to play for honestly?

Hird has been commended by players from CJohns info for “getting them up”, inspiring them to try and play in the right mindset when they don’t really want to be out there. Which works in first quarters but as soon as we tend to fall behind the players simply don’t have the spirit at present to fight back again and again.

The St Kilda game for us came after WADA provided their evidence brief to the players lawyers of what they were going to be appealing against. Their minds would have been all over the place on anything but footy. No wonder we played like ■■■■.

It is an absolute joke that the club couldn’t support Hird who the players love and whose proven he can coach to get past the CAS hearing and allow him to coach players free of the black cloud they constantly have above them.

its not entirely what happened, its when it happened. start looking for another coach, then sack hird after the final round, and only john carpenter would care. but doing it now, total cop out by the board.
So now the timing is wrong.

Jimbob sighting in Wodonga today. Sadly this is not my photo - but showed up on my facebook feed.

Fark he’s aged.

Diggers - he’s on the right hand side in the photo mate…

Any talk of not renewing membership etc etc as a show of dislike of current decisions is going to hurt the club more.

I think of the club as my own family and if one of your kids makes a poor decisions, do you throw them out? Do you help them? Do you provide support?

Regardless of what has happened, I will continue to support the club in spirit and in membership. I don’t agree Hird going was the right decision, but will ‘accept it’ and move on. Let’s be part of the future greatness!

The best description I’ve read here is that the EFC is like being in an abusive relationship. We love it & we continually put our emotions out there to be played with in the hope that some day it loves us back or at least loves us as much as we thought it used to . At some point however you need to walk away from these types of relationships even if only for a short enough time to heal or re-assess what it is you expect from the relationship. Right now I honestly don’t know if I will ever have the same passion for the club again. That hurts more than it should.

I’ve grown up with this club. My father was a foundation member of the social club & much of my earliest memories involve the club. We never missed a game, rain hail or shine at Windy hill, Lakeside oval, that shyteheap at Moorabbin or the bus out to Waverley where I would have my duffle coat pockets filled with whisky flasks as they never searched kids . Dad even knew some of the players back then (lived with one for a while) & many hours were spent after games at the social club (Space Invaders got a workout). I can remember being a kid 8-9ish running around the feet of the players in the disco upstairs at Windy Hill (can you imagine the OH&S of that now). I remember standing on empty beer cans in the outer at the Western Oval to watch the game, I remember helping make the banner for the 84/85 grand finals, I remember walking round the ground at halftime being pelted with coins to collect money for the cheersquad. I remember the day Simon Madden picked me up off my feet to sign the back of my jumper. In later life I was there in 1990 for the disappointment & then 3 years later for a miracle from nowhere.

Along the way there have been great highs, I know the club has given me more joy than most other clubs could but its not the lack of success for the past 15 years that hurts. Its the feeling & maybe even call it realisation now, that the club that I love is no longer. The club that I felt a part of now feels like its my insurance company or my bank - takes money to provide a service. I get that many here don’t understand the connection some others do feel or felt towards the club. You may not have grown up riding your bike after school to go watch training, you may not live close enough to go week after week & arrange your winter life around the football fixture or you may even live far enough away that nobody you work with or catch up with follows the footy & talks about it day after day. You may have never had to tell people “I can’t come to your wedding because we are playing Carlton” In that instance I can only imagine its a lot easier to have genuine disconnect from the emotion of whats happened. When Melbourne Storm lost premierships I was disappointed but ultimately it had little to no effect on me because although the Storm are my team, I don’t follow NRL anywhere near the same level as AFL. Maybe now I need to view EFC like I do the Storm. I don’t know if I can do that (can you still be friends with an Ex after a nasty break up) & I certainly don’t think that’s a good thing for the club when its passionate supporters lose faith. I haven’t missed a game against Collingwood since 1980. I can’t contemplate going anywhere near a game in the near future & for the 1st time in my life I honestly have no idea when we play this week. I’m sure to some that sounds ridiculous to have invested so heavily in the club but it is what it is. Some people paint, some people love cars, some people obsess over their appearance. My passion was the EFC. Maybe its time it became more of an interest.

Your problem stems years ago when travelling along the road of passion, you missed the signpost that said “passion, but now proceed with perspective”.


Nice way to kill an outpouring of an emotional and hurting post.

That was a dog act.

OK so nobody is telling others not to be a member but you thought you’d just make that up as some form of justification for your compulsion to respond to other expressing their opinions. Glad we cleared that up.

They showed up when they were asked.

Leave them the ■■■■ alone.

Of course they do, doesn't give them the right to shitcan those who aren't as aggrieved as they are about Hird's departure.

You are bagging every single poster who has a problem with the decision.
Just stop it.


OK stalwart, but can you tell those with a huge problem with the decision to refrain from advising those who are dealing with it differently, that EFC is not worthy of anyone’s membership.

Maybe you could point out exactly who is trying to tell others not to be members. All I’ve read is people expressing their personal anger & disappointment & giving their own reasons for making their own decisions followed by you pretending your opinions are more valid.

You haven’t mentioned the constant bagging of the club’s recent actions and what it now represents; some of us feel compelled to respond as a show of support. My opinion is just like yours, no more or no less vaild.

What’s compelling you to respond?

its not entirely what happened, its when it happened. start looking for another coach, then sack hird after the final round, and only john carpenter would care. but doing it now, total cop out by the board.
So now the timing is wrong.

i’ve said that multiple times. also mentioned the review. cheers lad.


Speaks volumes

like littles presser and off air talking to caro.


No doubt you would have managed the whole saga after Evans without doing too much wrong.

would’ve moved us to tazzie so nickyd and fairybread can see games live.


Cranking up the volume

You know, you don’t have have to belittle every single poster that’s hurting.
You feel a certain way, that’s fine.
But ffs, enough.
I don’t care if it’s someone I’ve never agreed with in the history of Blitz, which incidentally goes further than your nine months or so, they have a right to feel any way they choose about this.

Support of EFC more than likely.
