Unbelievable It is truely amazing that he cannot see the forest for the trees.

Excuse me Mr Messiah Sir you had no bloody hope of winning an appeal.

It is not the AFL's fault it is yours

PS News site is saying Hird may still appeal has not made up his mind.

Wa nker!

I say let Jaques Merde swim in the pool of his own creation.

"Won't appeal despite being advised they would win."

hahahahahahahahahaha - they will say anything to keep their supporters sufficiently outraged with life, the universe etc, to ensure the outrage doesn't turn on them.

As i posted a while back in this thread this will test EFC's and Hirds assertion this all about the players given they have said they just want it over nd done with and an appeal will be yet another delay. Well it appears the EFC have listened? James? nup.

If he appeals I bet his rationale will be in part this is about his reputation. What a joke. Appealing will only trash it further and reinforce the impression of a selfish narcissist. Surely he won't maintain the charade of this being about the players. If he does he will add delusional to the character assessment list.

Hird is a delusional f'wit and has ruined all respect that he earnt over his decorated career.

Essendon has dragged this competition through the mud for their own wrong doing for too long. Time to end this.

Binney, I think it is a bit late to be adding delusional to his character assessment list.

PS:- May have gone early on the avatar.

Attempted personal wealth preservation.

If Hird does appeal surely that's the end for his coaching gig. Perhaps he is going to fund the appeal with his payout.

Caroline Wilson is reporting: Hird to Face The Axe: Paul Little has called an emergency board meeting for early on Thursday to rule on Hird's decision to act against the advice of his club.Little and his chief executive Xavier Campbell are understood to have repeatedly urged the coach to abandon his legal battle but Hird to date has refused, insisting he is acting upon a matter of principle. At 5.30 pm on Wednesday, the club did not expect Hird to attend its 2014 best and fairest function

Most likely his 'principle' is by threatening to appeal he will force EFC 's hand to sack him and collect a contract payout and collect a cool $2m!! Is there an adjective to describe how despicable this mercenary man is??

Hird = persona-non-grata in AFL and even with the most die-hard of supporters!

I'll bet Hird will now say he is dropping his water-tight and bullet-proof appeal which he was sure to win just for the good of the club.

Bet he doesn't Sue. Narcissist.

As if his position wasn't untenable already. He's cooked.

Now to see Bomber go to the GC and that leaves Essendon well and truly in the [censored].

Posted

The amusing thing about this is that Robbo who thinks he is Hird's bestie has missed the scoop! He is probably frothing at the mouth!

Posted

Hird will be sacked within 24 hours....The split is now official...

James you are on your own....

Just heard the same.

Story is Hird to be sacked tomorrow.

Edit: 2nd para

I hope they have to pay him out, Bomber leaves for GC and they go on the hunt for a new coach.

Knowing these flogs they'll then try and apply an out of contract clause similar to what Ryder is using so they avoid the pay out.

Then they'll hit rock bottom (for once) and apply for a priority pick due to "all the stress".

DAM I hate that club!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
