Featured Replies

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

    not surprised. is anyone?

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

  • Quote

    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

    Hird v Vlad

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

    game on

    Hird will fire back

    popcorn and drinkies time !! :)

    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....

  • Quote

    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......

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
