So embarrassing

Let’s just get the best coach

You know what will turn around the club? Winning games of football

Let the board run a proper process and if hird gets up, so it is

Having fans beg the club to get Hird back in this manner is just embarrassing

we’re not doing well with a system thats apathetic to us.

Sheedy was 34 when he started coaching us.

Just before 40 getting us back to back flags.

We really need a younger hungry coach ready for it.

Really think the best coaches are blokes in their early 40s .(or at their best)

For the most part

as donny would say “these people are sick”

I’d throw myself in front of most vehicles if I was owned by that fuckpustule.

You’re on it, Chris’s chick

Just get John big hog Longmire. Our first chance to hire an actual good coach since Sheedy.

James was never a coach. He was an ex player that was given the job.

Don’t be ■■■■■■■ idiotic Essendon. I know it’s not in your nature to make wise, sensible decisions but this is the first good chance we’ve had to un-fuq the club in 20 years.

Brad strategy of turning the list over was fine and obviously there was plenty of turn over in the football department, first Dodoro saga and then the fitness. Eventually everyone realised brad wasn’t the right fit to work with a young developing list.

Cox was made coach at a stable club with good direction and executive management. It’s very risky putting a young coach at the helm of a club lacking that same level of professionalism. We need a coach who will provide direction to the club and the team.

The comparison is only that when you hand a new guy the keys IF he needs support you bolster the footy department around him.

so if we were to get a new coach(and cox was a successor not a new hire). I’d hope we would persist with him this time.

And if he falters just put talent around him.

Yeah I bet looking back all those Sydney supporters feel really stupid demanding Roos as coach all those years ago. Dumb ■■■■■.

The main reason everyone piled on Hird was because they wanted to cut him and the club down. Mission accomplished.

The AFL have had enough of us losing, if the Essendon supporters get behind Hird and the club becomes successful again the money will start rolling in and the AFL will be loving it.

The bloke compared the AFL arc review system to one of the worst man made disasters in history to try and sound smart.

He is an absolute imbecile.

Yeh looks that way, and I recon we would be stupid to turn that combo down personally.

Bartel/Hird and whoever else they can get on their team is leagues better than the coaching we have had over the last 4 years.

The Anybody but Hird crowd are really coming up with some doozies to justify not hiring him.
Their efforts will all be in vain. It is going to happen.

Agree, if he can get Bartel on board it is going to be pretty compelling, and would probably outweigh any competition.
