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.
Great distinction between ability and viability. Hird had ability to coach but you can argue there are better coaches out there, and his viability was diminished by external factors.
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 think it's fair to question the timing.
Even if Hird handed in his resignation, why couldn't they let him coach out the rest of the year?
Would it be too much time for the media to try and hound him for his side of the ASADA story?

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.

Because even those who oppose it, somewhere in their minds, hope it ends up being the right decision.
I’ll never believe it was the right decision. And even if we win every game for the rest of my life by 10 goals, I will still be saying there is no proof that they wouldn’t have done that with Hird as coach.

If they’d already decided to do it - and they clearly had - then why wait until the last round? What’s actually the difference?

Crazy how much appointing Hird has split the supporter base so much.
FYI:
It’s possible to support Essendon and think he wasn’t the right man for the job.
It’s possible to support Essendon and support Hird and think he wasn’t the right man for the job.
It’s possible to support Essendon and be totally upset and fed up with the past few years.
It’s possible to support Essendon and dislike members of the board.
It’s possible to support Essendon and think Hird was the right man for the job.
It’s possible to support Essendon and criticise comments from past players.
If you’re on an internet forum to talk about footy chances are you’re a bit of a weird unit and an Essendon fan. People have different views, no use grand standing and pretending like “supporting Essendon” can only be done in one way or the other.
We’re all fans just here to talk ■■■■ at the end of the day and if you’ve stuck by the club the past few years you’re a good fan in my eyes, regardless what your opinion is on a number of subjects.
