Hird Gone: No surprise: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/james-hird-removed-as-essendon-coach-20141002-10p3bn.html#ixzz3EwsvdNtu

The club has loaded its shotgun: '...Should a legal battle go ahead with Hird, the club has engaged its queens' counsel Neil Young to represent it. The Bombers remain determined to avoid a wrongful dismissal action from the Hirds...'
Interesting to note Hirds - plural!!
Footnote: another scoop missed by Hird's bestie; Robbo

Good luck with that one EFC you will have two cases now with the Messiah taking action in the near future.

The money pain will continue?

I might send them a donation to help I am confident I still have a two cent piece lying around here somewhere.

I wonder what the pay out figure was?

Now this will be interesting

Only one of them can be right!

No both can be right, he was asked to resign or be sacked. So he has resigned.

to be fair to hirdy,

when has anyone ever lost their job for exercising their legal right to appeal a court case?

reckon he would have a fair case for unfair dismissal - as much as i dont like him, it seems a bit unfair.

Now this will be interesting

Only one of them can be right!

So would it maybe be even better karma were they forced to keep him on when they don't really want him, and the players hate him for what he has done to them and to the club?????

Still, he always puts the players and the club first and foremost :-)))))))))

apologies to MK

Warning lights are flashing down at Rumour Patrol
Somebody threw a tanty and they threw out all control
There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls are coming down
There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's some sneaky personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
'goodness me could this be Windy Hill Disease?

They wrote them a prescription they said 'you’d be impressed’
Theyre not so glad they came at them to get if off their chest
Come back and see me later - next player please
Send in another victim of Windy Hill Disease'
I go down to the corner, I follow the paper truck
They’re saying Hirdy’s gone, he was told to go get ….
Two journos say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
There's a protest, hands wringing, Littles singing a song
that bloody AFL wants to keep us on our knees

An Essendon mate says members are preparing to force an EGM to spill the board and keep Hird...totally unconfirmed but would be bloody hilarious!!!!

Oh Goody go for the throats guys.

I have been reading the Essendon boards etc just for some reading pleasure,

So far -

Its courageous for Hird to back the players

Its time to spill the board

Caroline Wilsons fault

AFL strike again

Want to donate to Hird’s legal fund

What did Hird do to deserve this?

I am sorry but if this was the MFC that it happened to i hope we wouldn’t be this blinded and follow someone off the cliff...

Hird looking for a payout. And legal fight.

Statement put out by EFC,said they do have a good chance at appeal.If no appeal and players take the "plead guilty"and get on with life.Then Hird wins appeal,he can say hes not guilty and get his payout and wrongful dismissal payout.

Also it would mean everybody except JH would be an admitted drug cheat.

Then we could call him teflon.

Nothing on the EFC website about anything happening today?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
