Finally the responsible one is gone!!

Here is the link:http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/the-essendon-crisis-club-and-senior-coach-james-hird-part-ways-20150818-gj1noe.html

Jack Niall says: Hird, who had a year to run on his contract, will be replaced by an interim coach, who will be one of the current assistants, such as Matthew Egan or Hayden Skipworth. Club great and ex-Fremantle coach Mark Harvey will not be the replacement.

Hird's exit involves a negotiated settlement on the remainder of his contract - speculation is that he was due to be paid close to $750,000 for 2016.

Robbo is probably wondering how he didn't get the scoop!

Good to be a fly on the wall when he has that conversation with his mate, Hirdy!!

It was inevitable after such gross misconduct.

woo hoo

bomberblitz will be great reading

off to get the popcorn first

He should sue them.

It's a disgrace!

Rumour is that he resigned!

Must have been a massive settlement for him to agree to go quietly.

If he's been pushed against his will, we wait for the mushroom cloud!

Rumour is that he resigned!

Interesting. There's a difference between "chose to resign" and "agreed to resign" though.

#standbyhird

Umm...

R

Rumour is that he resigned!

Of course he did, such an honourable man. What's a beacon of integrity!

Condolences are with Robbo, Spare a thought for the guy ...

#standbyHird (tee hee)

It was inevitable after such gross misconduct.

Lol, don't make the mistake of thinking that this is because of the injections.

He's gone because they're losing by huge margins.

Its everyone's fault

His terrible coaching was the misconduct.

It's about time.

His terrible coaching was the misconduct.

Exactly.

If they were winning he'd still be there.

To the EFC, the larger crime is losing, not the injecting.

No one will want to coach Bombers with WADA hanging over their head.

If Essendon were smart they would have sacked Hird after the WADA appeal, irrespective of the result.

Hope Paul Little follows him out the door.

Its everyone's fault

What did I do wrong?

At least he got out without damaging the amount of integrity and esteem he held.

Nil.

I guess we will get the 'real' truth now!!!!

The truth that only he seems to know!!

Hird will sure Jack Watts.

It is all Jack's fault.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ROBBO!

This gem from 2 GODDAMN DAYS AGO:

Sacking James Hird would be a cop out by the Essendon board

Someone needs to retweet this back to him, he posted this link on his feed 2 days ago.

He ruined any legacy he had as a wonderful player. He shot his family's legacy at Windy Hill.

Hird & his acolytes.

AFL followers.

Demonland posters.
