Sky Sportsnight are still running hard with their report in tonight's program that James Hird will be standing down tomorrow.

[ChaserJ 4,715]

Apparently Mike Sheahan has just stated that Hird will resign tomorrow.

Apparently Mike Sheahan has just stated that Hird will resign tomorrow.

Is there a source?

[Spirit of '87 323]

Apparently Sheahan declared it at a dinner function tonight, that Hird will be stepping down tomorrow.

Is there a source?

Said to have made the statement tonight at an Assumption College sportsmen's night.

Oh dear, who will be caretaker, surely Bomba just incase points aren't stripped and they are fair game in finals?

[beelzebub 23,200]

Was this all a nefarious plan of Bomba's to take over at Bomberland from the very beginning?!

Dancing pretty close to the edge, he will be lucky if there is a bomberland to take over

Reports @Essendon_FC coach James Hird will stand down are NOT true - I repeat, James Hird is not standing down

Australian Crime Commission Report?

So there are two reports - ASADA's and the ACC's. I really didn't pick that up anywhere and I think most would have assumed both to have been working together on this.

If this is true. the problem for Essendon is that one newspaper report from early on in the saga suggested the premises opposite Windy Hill where the injection of players took place were under ACC surveillance for some time. If this were the case and these people were competent investigators then they should have been able to identify the nature of the substances being injected into the Essendon players - i.e gone beyond the apparent ASADA conclusion to date which points only to circumstantial evidence of prohibited substances. Of course, the ACC website was saying at the time that AOD-9604 was not a banned substance.

I have a feeling that the contents of the ACC report could shake the competition at its very foundations.

[beelzebub 23,200]

Whether he goes or not the flames have been fanned. Theres a battle royal happening here.. Theres what we see and then theres the real conflict.

Just stepped up a notch or 3

[Sir Why You Little 36,670]

Who is right????

[Young Dee 1,303]

Who is right????

Essendon will look very silly if he does stand down tomorrow - so I am guessing not just yet.....(maybe in 2 days time?)

Maybe we should get into Zaharakis's ear incase the entire list is banned but him? haha

[dee-luded 2,959]

I take your point. However, whether Hird is either, it still doesn't remove the point that AD may well be talking porkies.

no doubt, games are being played but the afl isn't in the business of ruining future afl legends. Unless they have done something & have brought the whole game into very dangerous territory...

in these cases where the authorities expect the AFL to act, & apply heavy penalties, we don't want any innocents to be made a scape goat for the truly wrong doers to get away with it.

[DEE fence 4,923]

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.

must admit to browsing the bombers forum, it's very small of me to take pleasure in the misfortune of others but after everything MFC has been through... Worse yet, more often than not we are pitied by bombers fans, I'd rather be hated, they just don't see us as competition.

They will. We owe those bastards a very large long term thrashing after sitting through the 2000 GF.

Hird's acceptance speech made me sick.

I remember at the anthem he stood there with his arms crossed like he wasn't taking us seriously, my mother who was a Bombers supporter commented about how disrespectful that was.
