The blackest day in Australian sport.
Robbo saying he was sacked for sure on SEN right now. Not buying the resignation line.
Why did we have to do this to Hird now??? What was wrong with waiting till the end of the season??I don’t see what benefit we get… season is gone, we’re not going to finish any lower than we already are, the CAS hearing won’t be until well in the off-season?
Are we already chasing another coach??
Wouldn’t surprise me that they elected to jump now to try and swipe Bolton from under Carlton’s nose.
Bolton - good grief - this is the new Messiah - remember Carlton want him…That’s right the geniuses on the Board sacked Sheeds to get Voss and look how that turned out.
Looks like another master stroke coming…
If Hird resigned why would there be a payout?To stop Demetriou being right, in the end.
Hirdy!!! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND !!! what an absurdly unjust finale’ to a ridiculous situation… Onya Hirdy !!!
Apparently Robbo is going to write something tomorrow that he’s been working on for a while.
Now that Hird is gone, it’s going there.
He’s rather emotional about it.
For all the talk of player welfare, I hope James can now look after his own.The poor guy has aged 20 years in the last two, and he hasn’t seemed himself all year.
You fought harder and longer than anybody else could have Jimmy, it’s time to get your own life back.
I hope he and his family hire a private island in Fiji for a few months and the guy can get to just relax for a bit.
A legend till the last minute. What more could any of us ask for?
Well said Peos. He has given everything to this football club. Its time for him to think about himself and his family now.
He stood tall and strong for 3+ years through this whole thing. He deserves some peace and quite now.
Await the players response.
Hird as next Chairman. MAKE IT HAPPEN.Meant to be listening to a lecture now. That’s out the window.
Yeah, i’ve done 0 work today
What’s the bet that germ Barrett is camping out on Hirds front lawn.
Media left swiftly after Hird’s press-conference concluded after one of them made eye-contact with Ambrose.

crocodile tears are so appealing
Feeling gutted, but in awe of Hirdy. Such integrity, honour, strength, resilience, dignity, passion, grace…an inspiration. So sad to see the Club fold to media/afl bullying.
What's the bet that germ Barrett is camping out on Hirds front lawn.
Was the comment about media camping out infant of his house and the effect on his family directed at a Barrett question?

For the first time since this entire horrid affair started, it might actually be appropriate to use it.

You really want to do this now fkhead?
It is not a resignation when he gets told 4 weeks ago that the AFL need him ‘moved on’ if we are to ever get clear air… they basically used his biggest strength (love for players and club) against him AGAIN to get the result they wanted.
Oh and if you want to know how the players feel… Hird knew on Friday… see result on Saturday.
Imagine the Suns roll us by 87 points.
18/8/15: wimmera1 withdraws support for the efc 19/8/15: Pimpinio Tigers gets on board the bombers bandwagonBefore cancelling your membership, perhaps listen to Hirdhttp://www.essendonfc.com.au/video/2015-08-18/btv-hirds-message-to-members
I don’t need to be reminded what a great man is to decide on whether the club he laid down for is worth supporting.
It’s not.
Close.
Pimpinio Tigers will be here, for a while, because he likes blitz.
But he won’t be following Essendon.
