James Hird Sacked

[Willmoy1947 4,086]

Anybody ask him at the press conference if he was gonna leave his computer behind....

[FireOath 290]

The best though;

THE WAY JAMES HIRD HAS BEEN TREATED THROUGH ALL OF THIS IS **** DISGRACEFUL AND INHUMANE
THE CLUB THAT HE LOVES AND BLEEDS HAS TREATED HIM LIKE A PIECE OF ****.
HE AS ENDURED MORE THAN ANYONE HAS HAD TO GO THROUGH,BUT STAYED TRUE BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE OF THE CLUB AND THE PLAYERS.
AND HE GETS TREATED LIKE THIS.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
THE ESSENDON FOOTBALL CLUB WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

The delusion is strong with Essendon supporters.

With some. but its a bit like the dwindling rump supporting Tony Abbott, or the few delusional generals supporting Adolf in his final hours. There are many Don's supporters who stopped supporting Hird a long time ago, I know of a number who refused to take out memberships because of the drugs scandal and Hirdy's behaviour. There will be always be a small hardcore of Neo-Hirdists but he lost support of many Bomber fans over time.

And yet they had record membership numbers this year didnt they?

I've seen a couple of comments saying this is Essendon's Norm Smith moment. I guess I can see the similarities if you ignore the lack of premierships or any sort of dominance of the competition under Hird. Right?

This is just too funny:

Hird was a class act to the end. Always put players ahead of himself. Eventually he will be remembered as a Mandela type figure #standbyhird

Bahahahaha!!!!!

maybe little paul donated his millions in the form of memberships?

alternately i think the northern suburbs has turned into a religious stronghold for efc as they feel persecuted like the christians of yore

That is pure gold!! The imbecile who wrote it was probably visualizing Morgan Freeman. They are a bunch of dumb [censored].

I hope there's just enough delusion left in the board for them to think that hiring Malthouse is a good idea...

I guess they'll expect some form of resurrection on the T Hird day.

Take your point DD but does not mean that they all supported the tarnished one. I guess it really doesnt matter. He's gone.

Probably dumb enough that they were visualising the Dalai Lama!

[Devil is in the Detail 883]

Probably dumb enough that they were visualising the Dalai Lama!

Or Martin Luther King

Maybe this is our chance to offload the NSC!

I wish them 50 years without a premiership!

Apparently Robbo is going to write something tomorrow that he's been working on for a while.
Now that Hird is gone, it's going there.
He's rather emotional about it.

A couple of good ones there but there is a very good chance they wont be playing for the next two years.

Neeld will be able to recommend to Tird a good hotel in Thailand to go hide in.
