Coach James Hird - is it time to give him a second chance at coaching an AFL club? Gil says yes!

[Stamos]

 

[tugga]

Has to stand down or be told to. No other outcome is possible now.

 

[Altum Volantes]

What an absolute spanner.

Utter ego maniac obviously.

Definition of a ‘hill to die on’ - Sheedy will never hold a meaningful position at a football club again.

 

[Chief]

Hird's PED scandal claims another scalp.

 

[Scythe94]

LOL

 

[Scythe94]

Essendon needs to take the old bastard out behind the woodshed

 

[HBFlanker]

That was his one chance.

No chance of being back in the AFL fold, which is the right call.

His master Sheedy has burned all bridges at Essendon in trying to get him back, so really the football world has won today with both of them sailing off into the sunset

 

[Lockyer24]

Nice little peek behind the curtain there to see why they’ve been such a rabble

 

[Red Black and Blue]

That was Biden-esque senility. It's been a great ride champ, but for the good of his own legacy it's Old Yeller time.

 

[The 747]

Sheeds is concerned what Hird would think of him. After all Hird has done for the club.

Time to bring back a 90s term. LMFAO.

 

[hoddo22]

Wow. Just when it looked like the club was getting some things in order, a senile old man who yells at clouds... yelled at a cloud.

His position on the board is as untenable as Ruttens was as coach leading into round 23.

The knives will come out very quickly as I don't think this will be Hird's last attempt at getting back, his ego is too big, and as long as Sheedy is there Scott better watch his back.

Wow, you weren't wrong

yep

over to Barham to sort this out. get him out of the club. no official role. no ambassadorship
he can come to functions and hug Hird all he likes.

**** off.
to even utter that to Robbo, esp on the day we appoint Scott....sigh. way to spoil your legacy.

I stand by Essendon people ruin Essendon and the less of them we have running the joint the better

 

[Milanista28]

His biggest issue imo will be handling the toxic personalities of Sheedy and Barham who will expect instant results.

You've got the read on Sheedy right but wrong on Barham, I think Dave is a smart/good operator who will let Scott take the reins.

Didn't Barham come out and say Sheedy will stay on the board?

 

[citizen-erased]

that may have been before Sheedy just made him look a fool after a press conference where he's spouting unity.

Sheedy just declared he doesn't support the direction of the club.

Listening to the presser now - Browne asked him if he'd stay on the board. This was before the comments. I'd back Barham to go back on that now and remove him. He adds nothing.

Have to admit, Barham has recovered from the early missteps.

the process, the lack of leaks, the presser today - he's done pretty good since the spill.

Not to mention Slobbo attacking Scott every chance he gets in the HS to get his hero Hird back in.

He's just not good on camera, not a media performer, we don't need him to be fwiw.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Wow, you weren't wrong

Happened even quicker than I thought too. Thought Brad would have to lose a few games first, instead as soon as he leaves the job interview he has one knife sticking out.

Sheedy's ego is unreal

made a disaster of the Rutten sacking.
But has at least recovered.
now has to deal with this
