Our favorite player that is well known for shirt fronting James Hird has joined his mob.

Loved the Wrecker he was one of my all time favorite players!

All the best to him.

damn it

why would he join that scum?

We got any decent ex-players working within our club, except for Viney?
Seems they all go elsewhere.

Good on him, he is still playing footy for Nth Ringwood Veterans in the Eastern Football Leauge a over 32's competition.

We beat them in the GF, he still hits hard though!!!

How old is his son?

Why do the indigenous boys go to fat once they finish their active sporting days, Rioli and Lionel Rose are two other examples.

Toned fit athletes one minute, over weight the next.

Mind you Long is an extreme porker.

Please say it isn't so ~ not to Essendon of all clubs.

Seriously? Have you seen half of the Ex non-indigenous Dee players? Fatties as well.

hopefully he does this again while hes there

I think finally we have "decent" people working for the club. Whether they are ex players or not is immaterial to me. I just want the best people.

I must walk to the beat of a different drum, I personally think it's important for an ex-player to do some coaching at a different club.

Sorry mate but his son is no older than 6.

No I haven't to be honest, living in Qld for the past 28 years hasn't helped I guess.

Perhaps you could give me several examples from 'half' the ex non-indigenous Demon players you refer to ?

hopefully he does this again while hes there

I could watch that all day.

He would've got rubbed out for weeks on that hit now.

the irony

Geez I liked Whelan.

Nev Jetta can become Matty Whelan 2.0.

I'm curious how old is his son????

Maybe they have employed him to take the cheating narcissist out permanently ??

Ahhhhh HA HA HA HA!

Essendon are that desperate to find a way to quickly remove James Hird from the contest, of course they bring in Matthew Whelan.

The board is just playing the tape of the hit, over and over, and hoping now everything will be ok.

That hit, would have got "wheels" a serious holiday in today's world!

wow, that means hird's future must be numbered for sure

maybe they have plans for hird.... getting him to shift out! he's nestled in like a new york Rat,,,, so the pest controller removalist is moving in?

thats the trouble with the game today, its run by lawyers. its been bled dry of any real character of yesteryear.
