Our players, coach, club and supporters have been bullied and humiliated for three years because they dared to entertain the thought we were innocent and had the audacity to expect a fair investigation.
**** all other supporters, the AFL, the other head coaches and Carlton.
**** times.
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.
crocodile tears are so appealing
You really want to do this now fkhead?
Boo hoo You are so upset -
Please stop Blob, people are hurting mate, show a little respect.
What's the bet that germ Barrett is camping out on Hirds front lawn.
Tania, turn the sprinklers on !!
Don’t even bother with him.
Over the past three years Hird has shown how he was too good a person and how he had too much integrity for the AFL.
If the AFL “industry” can’t sell the ideal of meritocracy, what do they have left?

Agree.
If Hird resigned why would there be a payout?

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.Perhaps you’ll listen to that same great man make a recommendation that it’s worth supporting?
Nope.
What can I say?
He’s a far better man than I.
In a world where there are no people worth following anymore, not the Prime Minister, not the opposition leader, sure as hell no-one left at the AFL or EFC, I’m not going to support the people who knifed him. Not ever.
As for the players…?

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.
sad face
Anybody care to share what Robbo said on SEN? Can’t get to the stream their servers appear to be buckling under the load!
Goodbye to Hird - The Carpenters.
“Goodbye To Hird”
I’ll say goodbye to Hird
No one ever cared if you should live or die
Time and time again the chance for truth
has passed them by
And all I know of Hird
is how to live without it
I just can’t seem to find it.
So I’ve made my mind up I must live
my life alone
And though it’s not the easy way
I guess I’ve always known
I’d say goodbye to Hird.
And it’s goodbye to Hird
I’ll say goodbye to Hird.
I will write my thoughts soon…fair to say I am upset and if people only knew how much this is really going to hurt the players…incredibly sad. Wish I could say more
Wheres fog dog?
Just disappointed knowing that we the Essendon Football club didn’t act on our own terms and have yet again bent over for external parties. We have a weak board, a puppet for a director and a minion CEO. Could’ve picked this result from a mile away.
What this actually achieves in the short term I do not know. 3 weeks left. Players shot. Appeal pending.
I could not give a flying fk about what other supporters think. We lost our way when we started listening.
But in saying that you don’t give up on the players now. Good luck to the new Coach. The supporters and more importantly the players deserve a good one…

c’mon wimm, I thought I’d actually cracked a decent funny!sad face
Not having a go, and didn’t mean to make you sad.
I am done though.
I gotta say, what a terrible, terrible day this is. Hirdy is as Black and Red a man as there ever has been. James is still alive and kicking though it feels like i’ve just witnessed his funeral. Gutted, absolutely gutted for him. I will still sign up next year though, as will my 9 month old son. I’m not a deserter. Jim still bleeds Red and Black, it’s incureable. And so do I.
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.

Agree.
Yeah I’ m not hurting - I’m overjoyed.
I show respect where it is deserved and self serving face saving exercises do not get my respect - But then I’m a fkhead, which is apparently an acceptable to you term of endearment.

I think the Board has just demonstrated they are cut from the same cloth
