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?

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

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?

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
