Report on SEN (via MMM Adelaide) that with the interim ASADA report already out, Hird has been told to stand down or be sacked. By this Thursday.

Ricciuto says he has been told by a very reliable source. Also apparently CW has a big story to break tonight on FC.

Big news if true

    Was also mentioned on 360 and BT said its not true.

    Appears to be more than rumour. Resign or be forced out by the AFL for bringing the game into disrepute.

    Hird lost me when he sold out on Evans last week. He should have resigned himself and protected his Chairman, who from all reports had absolutely no idea that the "substitutes" were more than vitamin injections.

    Hird needs to leave the game for a few years like Carey had to.

    think to the tools at hand for either to inflict pain and discomfort

    If proven to be true. I would suggest anyone living in Moonee Ponds / Essendon / Broady / Tullamarine and surrounding areas to move family & relos to safer ground. The fallout will be huge. Bomberblitz should make a good read for a decade or 2.

    Oh dear a rumour thread.... I hope BBO and Biffen shoot it down seeing they're the rumour police these days. Hate to think people only shoot down posts made by people they don't get along with....

    No co-incidence the Bombers lost by 79 points to Collingwood. He has lost the players also.

    Maybe he's our next coach?

    (joke) ;) ;)

    I was going to suggest midfield coach, but I lost my nerve :)

    Fair point. Just alot of smoke on this one. I cant see Hird surviving should Essendon lose premiership points.

    Did you expect him to say something to the contrary??

    No but he was very strong in his way he said it.

    I highly doubt Hird will stand down.

    He will make the AFL sack him.

    Yer I wasn't taking a stab at you but if I had a nickel for every time Caro opened her mouth......

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
