When Hirdy started, he was able to hand pick his support team and we seemed to be developing a very competitive game style. Since his suspension, Bomber, Goodwin and Wellman have all left the club and other than Egan, our coaches’ box looks completely different. If the club backs James in, they need to give him some power back and allow him to make some changes i.e. get his own people in.
Based on our dysfunctional forward line this season, Bassett needs to go. Personally, I think Neil Craig is a joke and needs to GTFO. I have no idea why he has a match day role. Skippy might be a nice bloke and Harvs is a legend, but we need a proper midfield coach and neither of them is the answer. Right now, it’s pretty obvious the players are cooked, but it looks like there’s a massive disconnect within the coaches’ box as well and some personnel changes are required to fix it. In my opinion, a new coach with the same hacky support crew will fare no better than Hirdy.
You are some sort of ■■■■ bag. You’ve basically said that everyone who isn’t Hurd is responsible for our onfield performance. Which is basically the same as saying that everyone except for Hirf was responsible for our supplements program. Choose one or the other
While it’s beating an old Bush, Robinson(and consequently Dank) was never on the Hird shortlist. That was Bomber, which I guess you could say Hird wanted which is back to his fault. But many people here want Bomber instead of Hird atm so meh
Don't care about the saga, this is an unmotivated side with a coach that can't motivate them.
Season stinks like a corpse.
for what reason do you think they’re unmotivated?
The Saga.
Perhaps the players though could do better if the person they see at work each day isn’t the person on the back page every day who is the face of the saga.

I could’ve written that sentence better.
Ahhh yes, of course. Forgot that the media ran our club.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COACHING OR PLAYERS ABILITY.
Its all between the ears its pain as the nose on my face what is happening. Team comes out firing playing pretty well for a start. But when the other team gets a run on. The structures go out the window, the players completely lose there confidence. The coaching staff can have the best farking game plan and players in the world. But if there is no confidence you can’t compete, its that simple.
Now think about that for a minute. You cop a belting in the media every week. No doubt its probably even hard for some players to go out in public without getting some sort of abuse. When you are playing sport any sport it is very easy to lose confidence when world off the sporting ground is full of uncertainty.
I am not saying Hird is the greatest coach, or that we have the greatest players. All I am saying is until all this BS WADA crap is over the coaches and players need to be cut a lot of slack. Then and only then is it time to make judgement s.
