5:06 'Phil Walsh wasn't a bad appointment but it didn't work out'.
Good grief. Tad insensitive.
exactly what i was going to say
Also, Adelaide made the finals that year and he had a strong winning record at the time of his death, so I am not sure what's she talking about.
WTF. Wow.
The problem is alot bigger than the coach! The board shouldn't tolerate players showing no respect to the coach. The vision of the player completely ignoring the coach was a bloody disgrace
Bring back Hird..great idea..Essendon down the bottom for another 10 years
while hird was coach we was up the top of the ladder wdym
@TheRedback
They were also cheating…
@@keatesy_
Ummm, Essendon made the finals once in four years with Hird as coach.
Same achievement as Knights in three years and Rutten in two.
Hird won five games in his final year compared to Knights' and Rutten's 7 each.
@@agmor1 hird took essendon 10-0 before the club went into the saga after that we went down we made it in 2013 but Carlton filled that spot hird record 65% in H&A not even clarkson could of done better in that
Now hird with a fresh team with no drama he could just coach them 10-0 before the drama doesn't just happen
@@keatesy_
But drama follows Hird wherever he goes. And his terrible performance in 2015 (coming off Thompson's final berth in 2014) indicates his further failures.
"a disturbing picture of a pharmacologically experimental environment never adequately controlled nor documented". Switkowski report, April 2013.500k+ in WorkSafe fines. 3 years in court.
Any other industry he would never ever be part of the conversation
I honestly would love to have ross Lyon, with Jimmy Hird as an assistant... unlikely but a good apprenticeship.
or james to go elsewhere and come back to the dons.
eitherway he needs some more experience back in the game
Ross Lyon would be solid so long as a good offensive minded Assistant Coach is brought in. Just like what Sydney did bringing in Don Pyke to help advance their ball movement.
Hird should never go back to Essendon as a coach. It would just bring the Peptides scandal back to life. Essendon needs to get past the worst scandal in AFL history, which at best was under Hird's watch and at worst under his direction. He tainted the club as a coach and his service as a player is of little relevance and separate to that.
Why would you want hird anywhere near your club? Essendon and their fans are insanely stupid
I'd like Hird back but I too am leaning towards Lyon.
@@petermcculloch4933 why? Why would you want the flog that so arrogantly destroyed your club, anywhere near essendon?? He's not even remorseful.
Can you explain the mindset? Is it because you all think he is innocent despite.. you know.. him being inarguably guilty?
I hear Steven Dank is also looking for work maybe they could bring the old team back together again
Surely there's some brains down at Tullamarine somewhere? Right now seems not!
Go the Bombers! 🖤❤️
Bringing back hird is a great idea, people go through PTSD by confronting it, I see the same with this, we need to face what's haunted us and hird is very underrated during his coaching tenure under the circumstances as well! He has been our best coach since sheedy
Rubbish. Hird does not have the respect of the football community.....me included.
Love Sheeds but bringing back Hird won’t move the club forward at all. Essen Don have a longer haul than they think..
Exactly.
There are other good options.
Totally disagree. You blokes have to see that any other option just ain't family.
Family at Essendon can be rebuilt by forgetting the past and getting back to who we are. The Mighty Essendon FC that Sheedy created a long time ago.
Hird returning with all AFL community behind forgiveness would make the whole AFL Greater than it is.
@@billybomben5206 : Hird - coach. Stephen Dank - assistant.
What could possibly go wrong?
@@Vinnie101a see love it. The banter begins. 👍🖤❤️
If Hird comes back it would give Essendon the shot in the arm they really need.
Carey was correct when he pointed out that Hird should not be considered as a coach when he has effectively done next to nothing for about 7 years. His previous record was tainted because it was likely positively influenced by the illegal use of Peptides. Bringing Hird back will only bring the Peptides scandal back to life when Essendon has been trying to move away from that ever since it became the biggest scandal in AFL history.
That’s why us rival fans want him back
So Hird can't be redeemed, which is like saying that all wrongdoers cannot be rehabilitated back into society? That is not the sort of non-inclusive society we want. That is 1960s thinking.
@@graerindley6312 Yup, Hird can't be redeemed at Essendon because it is the place where he perpetrated his crime. He'll have to try it slowly at another club, but I doubt anyone will employ him as a head coach. He has caused Essendon enough reputational damage, which he would only revive if he were to become head coach again. I can't believe the Board would be stupid enough to allow that to happen, particularly as he has been sitting mostly idle for the last 7 years. Coaches need to earn their stripes.
Yes , but it should be pointed out that the AFL penalty is what has destroyed one of our great clubs without any recovery in the near future....
The AFLs penalties on Carlton the same thing.... Not a 2or3 year penalty but the destruction of a once proud club
These 'custodians" of the people's game are corporate fascists who are hell bent on a communist style equalization program....
As for the media.... Agended tools....
I want him back just to watch the media lose their minds.
Perhaps playing Hurley was one of the 'learnings' Rutten had after what he did to Bellchambers?
Was it not the case that Steven Dank was 100% alone in knowing what the players were being injected with and actually lied to James Hird and the club in writing that it was only vitamins? It seems like James Hird was crucified for nothing other than what I feel is an unreasonable expectation to somehow investigate further about what Dank was doing and not simply trust the word of one his senior staff? if James Hird was actually guilty of any wrongdoing he would have received a WADA ban like Dank did.
Keep sipping the Kool aid. The only thing that saved him was a little bit of doubt along with the AFL not wanting an icon of the game found guilty. That doesn't make him innocent. He was responsible for everything that went on in the football department and he employed Dank.
It was not the case
Hirdy was a political scapegoat! Andrew demetriou! Knows the real story!
@@gustaaf1892 I disagree. I think the Kool Aid is the narrative implying that a head coach controls everything at a football club.
@@werdna_sir Hird was heavily involved with everything related to Dank at the club. He was negligent at best and complicit at worst. Either way, he was responsible.
I personally would love Essendon to interview Brad Scott (Chris Scott’s brother). I can see explosive potential in that ex North coach. Please don’t go back to past with hird. But really the whole board and CEO and recruiting staff need to be sacked!
I don’t understand the love for Brad Scott as a coach especially after the disaster he oversaw at North Melbourne…
You called that well.
David barham said he wants a more experienced coach. Why would you take Hird back who is inexperienced and ruined the Essendon football club. He knew what was happening and he was also taking anti aging medication.
Who would want to go to this rabble of a club.
The fountain of youth, eh!
What's the name of the product?
How do you know?
@@raymondbabb1970 It is the Holy grail and he chose poorly😜
84,000 members and one of the big 4 Melbourne clubs, yeah total rabble!! Who do U follow mate?? I find it hilarious that all these negative comments and slurs about Essendon is always done by sour supporters of other clubs. No finals in almost 20 years and still have members lining up
@@clintoneddy2860 to be fair it is a rabble
First tme i have seen Lloyd hold back in his comments on David Barham and the Dons schemozzle . Not quite Robbo territory in terms of being sycophantic to Hird and Essendon but definitely biased and Lloyd usually is fearless and unbiased
I think he's holding back to see if the "new board" can actually make a start on real change at the club. If he sees that then he'll be somewhat happy with what happened, ugly but had to happen. If nothing changes he'll be unloading both barrels on them.
@@dansharp2860 I suspect yu are correct Dan
Caroline, please stop commenting about Essendon, talk about your Richmond and leave us alone. Go Essendon!!!
I do think James Hird deserves a 2nd chance, Jesus he didn’t murder anyone, I’ve always thought of him in high regard as a coach and as a person, honestly I think he was blindsided in the whole saga in 2012, I personally don’t think he is the cheating type. Wouldn’t it be something if he was made coach of Essendon and took em to a premiership, there’s a lot of sour grapes from the Watson clan bcos Jobe was stripped of the Brownlow medal
blind sided? he was a core player. the bombers still havent recovered. appointing hird would be the dumbest thing the dons have done in the last 15 years, which is quite a feat
Your myopia is of clinical intensity.
And why was he stripped of the Brownlow numb nuts?? Because he trusted his coach and the program that he had laid out. And to quote his dad “the fish rots from the head”
Two things are true re:Sheedy. Kevin Sheedy has been amazing for the game. He was an innovator and a futurist that could see something was well worth doing long before the rest of the footy world. He has been great for three separate football clubs and countless footballers careers.
He is was and will always be a legend of the game!!
But it is also true.. That with age he has become one of those out of touch dinosaurs.. that has no idea how the common footy fan thinks or perceives him.
He clearly cares more about the individual than the club itself. Because anybody working under the assumption that the club is bigger than the individual would not want James Hird anywhere near the club in any official capacity. Right at this moment I think the negativity he’s bringing to the club far outweighs anything he brings in a positive sense.
Everybody outside Essendon knows that the very last person Essendon should be looking at as head coach is James Hird. And everybody also knows that it wouldn’t even get past the first step if it wasn’t such an exulted figure of the club Spruiking the notion of bringing her back.
He is like a 45-year-old man trying to do the same things to pick up a girl that worked on a 21-year-old. The outspoken eccentric worked back then because all coaches were a little nuts and he was one of the best. But now he comes across like Sam Newman did at the end, where everybody in the industry except the man himself understood that the world had gone way past the times where the antics (that were part of his early success) could be looked upon favourably by the common punter.
He’s already cost them Clarkson..
(I mean Clarkson might have rejected them anyway, but it’s been made very clear that any chance of getting him was minimal with sheeds and his big mouth on board.
And this is also ironic considering all of Essendon‘s problems started by sacking a successful coach after 27 years running a nationwide search only to hire the guy in the next room that was coaching the twos. So all of Essendon‘s problems started when they dumped sheeds.. and now I don’t think they can end them without dumping the same man from the board.
But he’s not alone, They’ve got a litteral proud Collingwood supporter on the board.
What sort of power hungry piece of 💩 joins a board they are not passionately invested in? That is somebody literally taking up a position of power at another club.. because the club is irrelevant they just want the position of power anywhere they can get it!! Imagine Collingwood having a Carlton supporter on the board or vice versa. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard since Jeff Kennett offered to become the president of Melbourne. I understand players coaches CEOs and administrators deal with a professional environment like any other workplace. Club loyalty and where your passion lies it’s just one factor. But an unpaid board member that is part of decisions that effect the club for decades afterwards. Should not be anybody that is not and always been passionately devoted to the club. The only reason she gets away with it is because women in the industry are a protected species.. and any attempts to judge them objectively like their male peers is always met with accusations of sexism and misogyny. So she gets to pretend that she’s a dedicated board member.. when in actual fact she doesn’t even measure up to any Essendon supporter that chose Essendon as their club for life. In reality any boardmember that prevented going after Clarkson in the appropriate time back when it was viable needs to step down. Plus everybody that stood by Rutten and any body part of the worstfold succession plan. Adrian dodorro has had a chance to watch multiple generations go from draft day to retirement without even winning a final. The first priority of any list manager is to build a list that has the capabilities of one day winning in a premiership.. Then Dodorro has been an abject failure for 20+ years. He should have lost his job when the salary cap was mismanaged so badly that they had to give up Damien Hardwick Justin Blumfield, Chris’s Heffernan and Blake Caracella. They gave Caracella n Hardwick to the next two premiership teams🤦♂️
Kepler Bradley, Scott Gumbleton where complete disaster’s and top 10 draft picks thrown down the toilet. I could go on and on and on. I don’t know why you need three past players on the board unless they bring something individual to the table from their life in the business. If you write all the best clubs in the 21st-century based on success.. They sit behind Richmond Saint Kilda Western Bulldogs and even North Melbourne. In fact there’s an argument to be made that other than Carlton they have been in the West Victorian club since the day after the 2001 grand final. There is only one figure from the past that should come back to Essendon and thats Peter Jackson to come back on a temporary basis to do what he did at the Demons. Other than that.. everybody and anybody outside of the past players that’s been part of the club for the last 20 years should be disqualified from any involvement whatsoever. Comparing Xavier Campbell to Brendan Gale O’Brien Cook is laughable. They need to start again from scratch
One hour after writing this☝️ the Essendon CEO has been pushed into resigning despite having a two year deal. +4 directors !! How good am I?!?😜 in the immortal words of Bill Goldberg…
WHO’s NEXXXXT??!!!! 💪
I love the analogy of the 45 year old man, it reminds me of visiting Thailand. 😀
My god that was a mouth full!!!
I agree with most of that.
I am a Collingwood supporter, I'd love to Essendon get back to being a power team as they have a massive following however.........I totally detest James Hird and what he did to that club.
For that reason I will never respect Hird ever again and if Essendon allows him back as coach I will never respect Essendon FC ever again and neither will most others.
@@garynewton1263 facts 💯👏👍
@@JaxTheGat : With such a long tirade Bill, you were odds-on to get something right! 🤣
Excuses me Caro! Essendon never had a "drug scandal" it was a supplents issue and the players that were "banned" after being cleared from both the Alf and ASDA was found guilty of not reporting to ASADA so ASADA took the case of the players not reporting taking a supplement to WADA Taking a supplement. That's it, the samples have been tested over the last ten years now and no positive tests for any banned supplement.
The club was "smashed" and Hirdy.
Tell me why?
How do you call Sheedy a failure on the board when he’s been there 7 months? Get a grip Caro (although that will never happen)
There is nothing to suggest he is deserving of having a seat on that Board to begin with beyond his legendary Coaching career. You actually need to be good in business and preferably have run a successful one even its not for profit to be a good Board member. None of that applies to Kevin Sheedy. Also its generally bad for ex legendary Coaches in sport to go into upper management of the club they coached as history clearly indicates.
@@taliamason7986 All that MAY be true, but having elected him to the board you can’t call it a failure after 7 months, which is my whole point
Bring Matthew Lloyd! That will solve Essendon goal kicking problem...
Essendon need to RID the DINOSAURS still on the board. Immediately start with Kevin Sheedy . . .
Agreed!
I really wish they did consider Hird again at the time, they need someone who would be 100% dedicated, though personally I think dropping Bomber was the biggest mistake the club has made since replacing Sheedy. Sheedy was in charge for decades through many highs and lows, ever since he left nothing has been the same. Bomber was the best coach in the AFL by an absolute mile when he worked for Essendon, it was purely ridiculous to just push him out. All we ever see is a new coach every few years, it seems like the club has no forward thinking at all, always thinking for today not tomorrow.
No point having or paying for an ‘external review’ when the media has already done it for you….
I don't care much for Robbo, but i agree with him
How about bringing Tuddy back ?
Hird was wildly unqualified to be a coach anyway but was given the job because he’s James Hird and since then he has not bolstered his resume.
That season where they had a crazy start to the season prior to the injuries and then the scandal showed me that James can coach. Ben couldn’t get a team motivated from round one to the last game.
@@MrWhitmen1981 crazy start cos they pumped them full of drugs? That was 2012 mate. The guy is a flog
Hird back at Essendon I think personally would be amazing..... as usual human being always focus on the negative which our worst trait.
Hird was a great coach and had full support of the players....and he backed the players a 100%.
Yes the supplement saga was a disaster but blaming Hird for the whole thing and pushing him to suicide was the most ridiculous overreaction.
And as others have said changing coach isn't the problem... we need a massive change from top too bottom.
Ether way I don't expect premierships I just want a team that is competes week in week out and loses with dignity.... not collapse under pressure.
Hirdy will be back! Back in Black Red
Its unthinkable he gets the Job! All people need a second go! Shane on your comments! Who are you!
Sounds great, should bring back Steven Dank as well 💉
Restart the peptides program
Bring back Hird!!!
So Caro is saying the Don Pyke is crap and Phil Walsh met his demise at the hands of Mark Riccuito? Interesting…
Xavier:
I feel supported.
24hrs:
Xaxier is no longer CEO.
Caroline and Robbo are 2 of the best journo’s on footy, sometimes ego’s need to be left out of the equation
The entire club should not be in the AFL period. Sheedy is only interested in a pay check, the CEO and the rest of the board are only interested in a paycheque and so are all the players. As for Hirdy, please, give me a break. That’s like asking Buckley to coach any club with zero credibility. The only people that still have any or some hope of pride is the members. Start with the AFL taking over right now by picking a new and fresh CEO and coach at the AFL’s expense. Pick retired players to help in coaching with skills or just give another club to join the AFL.
Caro spot on. Cant believe the BOMBers are even entertaining the idea of bringing Hird back.🤣
It’s like over the last 20 years Richmond and Essendon have swapped places . Richmond now the very well run club , Essendon are a rabble .
It's clear that Lloyd has been using his media position to influence the internal politics of Essendon. David Barham in the media is echoing a lot of what Lloyd's said over the past couple of years. I usually like Lloydy but he's so biased here.
With you on that. Lloyd is usually much more "agreeable" and neutral with a lot of his opinions, even inclusive of Essendon. But he's very defensive of David Barham and is fighting for him in the media at the moment. Hopefully it ends up for the best for the club but Lloyds bias is showing VERY clearly.
Even after implementing an experimental drug program and hiring a fitness guru known as "the weapon", James Hird still couldn't compile a winning record (41-1-42). Given his average results and tattered reputation, it beggars belief why anyone would even want him back. The guy put his personal glory above the wellbeing of players and, ultimately, cost Jobe Watson a Brownlow.
He didn't 'implement ' it at all
Ayri fik
AFL; Suspend Hird for 12 months.
Essendon ‘fans’; Suspend Hird for life?
If the players want to take power away from the coach and have more influence on the club then the media and the club should give them what they want and hold them accountable
So the 'New' Chairman 'Thinks' they need an Experienced Coach !!... Really he thinks !!.... So after this complete debacle he doesn't Know ??...
How can U know?? He can't see the future!! It's all a estimation nobody can be certain
@@clintoneddy2860 Oh please, Clinton, go back to your crayons and butchers paper, oh and try putting your brain in gear, before you make a public comment
Melbourne's rise corresponds with Mahoney leaving the club.
Agree. Poor football manager and a terrible communicator for players.
Excellent point. That no one points out. Mahoney is stench
And everyone wonders why Essendon has ended up in this position..It's very simple..They are living the emotion..not the cold hard facts..!!
You NEVER go back, James should not coach is my opinion. Why is it that Dodoro NEVER gets any critical objective analysis on what is nearly two decades as recruitment officer? This is a rhetorical question - if I told EFC members he used to work at Footscray Council as a lowly admin officer how many would believe me? He has 0 background in footy, local level, juniors. The legend Noel Judkins was allowed to be poached by Eddie - we have never been the same, AD refuses to recruit Selwood type big body utilities. The club is a mess. Yes the fish rots at the head but 'list management' with the odd few exceptions/ASADA crushing - it has been appalling. He is untouchable, Sheeds LOVES him
Magpies sabotage. Eddie everywhere the saboteur.
Hird as a player for the Bombers? yeah why, they need decent players. He would be better than half the list cloggers playing at the moment hahaha
Probably the best player in Essendons history
Lets re hire the man who brought the team to their knees to start with, sounds like a genius ideanand you know what it might work
How could James Hird be even considered as coach when he destroyed some careers damaged others and cost Jobe Watson his well earned Brownlow
How could they . They are Essendon romantics who will bring back Jimmie the golden boy to restart the dynasty and uncle shitty mopping up the hangar.
Footy classifieds has become a show where they make up their own views and even if they are wrong they are right 😂😂😂😂👍
Opinions are like arseholes, as everyone has one😜
@@azzajames7661 thanks Harry.
@@paulkyriakopoulos3444 No worries Karen 👍 😉
If hird comes back we’ll all have the best tan’s in the AFL….
Ben Rutten should never have been elevated to senior coach. He doesn't not have the make-up or player management skills. Not Ben's fault. The board has to go. Bombers are going nowhere fast
Caroline the truth hurts and should take some of the blame for what James Hird had to endure during that process. Your persistence in "being right" & obvious disdain for James almost cost him his life. That blood is 100% on your hands. The truth hurts. Your responsibility as a journalists is to report the facts regardless of bias. , but like all so called journalists today. Sensationalism is more important than the truth objective or not. The mirror has always been in front of you caroline and like all the rest of us right now, you too will be forced to look into it, see & most importantly accept your truth.
But she said Clarkson to Essendon so surely she must be right
if liegh mathews said he would coach lions again imagine the membership,the dons need them
Everyone saying "I love Sheeds" is talking about what he did for the club 20 years ago. Seriously move on, he's bringing you down. It's clear as day as a non-Bombers supporter. Good growth is about nurturing the next generation by mentoring, and being a leader. But if you are a selfish Boomer who won't even give the next generation coach a go is beyond selfish. Seriously get rid of him.
Exactly. Its pretty much always bad for ex legendary Coaches to still sit somewhere in the background of the club they coached because it just completely undermines the authority and presence of the current Coaching working there. I remember reading a few years back that Liverpool in the mid 70's when Bob Paisley tookover had to tell Bill Shankly to stop hanging around in during the training sessions in his first season in charge.
Hmm i thought the same thing..
Sheeds for PM!
Choco or Pike in the main seat, with Hirdy and Solly assistants.
Go and ask Ajax about their time with Williams. He was paid a fortune to oversee the whole Ajax sporting organisation. A lot of noses were put out of place. This is not the man you want to coach your football club
@@grantmcaskell4568
I have heard he can be erratic and abrasive. But, can't Clarko too? Isn't that what Essendon needs, a strong minded leader that won't bow to pressure from people like Xavier to do it his way?
Plenty of decent people to choose from........Solomon, Sumich, Caracella, Yze, Maxwell.
Better to recruit someone who has respect and a clear mind with different ideas.
Hird is none of these!
they just spent 5 years with non Essendon people and we are blaming the past?
Hinkley is the coach they can go forward without the bad juue-juue
Good stuff Caro! Robbo is good too…No beef, but he was a bit rude. Question, how much do media entities influence fans and the public , on clubs boards, coaching and staff
this whole journo war is like a nice little side game to the footy

The big question is:
Why do Tim Watson's eyes go really big when he reads a teleprompter?
Chaos. Bringing the game into disrepute. Take Anzac Day off them as a lesson. 🇦🇺👍🍺

We are already known as the Worst Club in the AFL ! (DRUG CHEATS) This will only inflame those antagonists even More!! And I'm STILL Angry that Geelong Wasn't Cited as Well because Thats Where All the People Came From!!
Hird has unfulfilled ability as a coach. He had the bombers on the up before the supplements scandal. People forget that
Thompson took bummers into a final and led by 6 goals at one time.
I guess people link the 'supplements' with them being at the top. Not forgotten.
I want him to bring back the drug programs.
@@magnusforte9988 essendon is a basket case
DESPERATION but then again the clubs desperate
As a Collingwood supporter and a long time rival of the Essendon football club, do you feel bad for the club considering it’s situation? Your enemy’s become your biggest mates. I’m a Essendon supporter and I’m going for pies this year purely for that reason. Just curious 🧐
Hird should've been banned from AFL for life!!!
Nonsense
No
Bull
Hird may just give the Bombers the shot in the arm they need to get back into finals.
Literally
If Essendon bring back James hird then it will be one of the dumbest choices on the clubs history
Well, a close second behind another dumb choice they made under Hird’s last tenure as coach
This is a joke seriouslyyyyyyyy essendon pull your heads in ,,this is a rubble of a club and its a shambles,game over
Essen-done
He'll need to bring peptides.
Robby said the other night he doesn't back Hird and slammed the club for the way it handed Rutten. Carro comes out and says Clarkson to Essendon. So is Carro just digging and prodding Robbo to get a response cause he sure punched her in the face. I like it..journos are allowed to not like each other.
How many times has Caroline Wilson got personal? Remember her treatment of a former North Melbourne president 🤡🤡🤡
Who actually helped bring the club back from dying. At least the man has passion and soul for his club. What he did was extraordinary considering the circumstances. And Carro kicked him in the head every opportunity she had. She wouldn't have the balls or the heart to do what Brayshaw did so she belts those who show that nothing is impossible bit cuddles up to any AFL direction "for the good of the game". She is an AFL puppet and certainly not fit to carry Brayshaws bag into Arden St.
what a rabble, and these guys are only giving lip service and trying to hold there jobs
The game is dominated by the parasites and hangers on....
Carro's a spunk !
Spec savers for you.
James Hird at least had the players putting in for him, I think he was a promising coach before dank ruined everything
I think you must mean before Hird employed Dank to do what he did. The Essendon performances were boosted by the illegal Peptides programme at the time, but because Hird allowed for that he does deserve the credit for that as well of course.
Nope. Disagree.
That was the banned substances, not Hird's coaching.
@@gustaaf1892 improved??? We lost 12 straight (after starting really well I admit) so if that's improvement I'd be questioning everything.....also the coach hardly ever chooses his medical staff so it's a stretch to blame James Hird. Funny the 2nd in charge bomber Thompson was void of all responsibility but everyone blames Hird. Also remember the substance WASN'T ON THE BANNED LIST! Yes it wasn't on the approved list either but it's not like they were on teranabol or e.p.o. i know the medical staff before dank were sheedy's from back in the day so I seriously doubt James Hird had a hand in Danks appointment
@@clintoneddy2860 Where did I mention improvement? The improvement at the start of that season can be attributed to the Peptides programme, which despite your protestations, Hird was responsible for as the first in charge who allowed Dank into the club to do his thing. Dank's role was not in the capacity of a medical staff member. Essendon already had its medical staff/doctor.
Hird needs to prove he is not inclined to cheat and risk the health of players before being considered as coach. Anything less is inviting disaster.
He doesn't need to prove anything.
@@stavio12 Then you support dishonesty. Shame on you.
Hird has never cheated he was made the scapegoat
@@suesweeney7536 Hird could have opposed administering a sympathomimetic drug to the players, which damages the valves in the hearts when the HR is accelerated during play. The club doctor rejected the idea, but Hird did not heed the good medical advice...bent on cheating. Hopefully a lesson was learned at Essendon; but, to date, there seems to be no sign of meaningful change, evidenced by an attempt to audit itself, rather than by an independent body. I doubt the club will clean all the cancerous elements therein.
footy politics ?
James Hird yawn.
I agree with Robbo that Caro is irrelevant not just in his life but in AFL
In general.
Typical, guilty mob behaviour.. the panel gaslighting Robbo!
Let’s try and fix the club with the guy that ran the regime that destroyed the club… super.
