James Hird Sacked


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

Saw him on 360 last night he said much the same as that article.

At times he was almost incoherent.

My impression ( hardly new ) is that he is hopelessly conflicted on the subject of Hird.

He is simply a fan boy who cannot see the forest for the trees.

Whatever credit I thought he may have left disappeared for me.

MM treated him with disdain years ago.

He was correct.

Still cant believe Hird said in his presser that David Zaharaskis is soft at the contest. Sure he was attempting to be lighthearted, but the bottom line is that he has shown terrible judgement at every turn. Incredible thing to say at any time, never mind at the press conference announcing you've been sacked in disgrace.

He's already been using a ghostwriter for them for the last 3 years.

I was told yesterday that in his pre-coaching days when Hird used to write a regular column for the Herald Sun that Mark Robinson was his ghost writer. I don't know if my source is necessarily in the know, though. So, is it common knowledge or has it ever been confirmed that Mark Robinson was Hird's ghost writer?

Best laugh I've had in days.

I am quite sure that Zaharakis was the only guy not to opt into the injection program, there was an explanation that he had a phobia of needles but wasn't confirmed?

We don't know because all of the Essendon players want the truth to come out but no one is talking

Plus writing a column for the Herald-Sun.

He already does, just under another name.

Won't be long before they do. It will be every man for himself when the suspensions start.....

Far more than a fanboi to Hird. There is more to their relationship than that.

Still doing a bit of reading at Bomberblitz and there are people calling for him to be President/Board Member.

They are honestly fools, the lot of them. They honestly can't see what he has done to the club.

Robbo has been disgraceful for years. He's just a bomberblitz nuffie who somehow has a position of power in the AFL media. He should fall on his sword too for using the herald sun for his own agenda. Go write a blog you amateur.

There is no need to down grade bloggers like that Pipefitter!!

Lets face it, with a few exceptions sports reporters and journos are not the smartest people on the planet. In fact if they were smart they would not be doing what they are doing. Football journos are probably at the bottom of the pile. In fact, half of them are not journalists, but merely reporters. Often think the term journalist gives credibility to a pretty ordinary bunch. Also there are so many of them nowadays all trying to break stories and get their name.......well, in the paper.

McDevitt from ASADA was angered by Hird’s repeated debasing of the joint ASADA and AFL investigation into the program that ran at Windy Hill in 2012.

He said the departed coach needed to accept responsibility.

“He has repeatedly referred to this as the ASADA scandal and did again today. Don’t blame ASADA for doing its job. Blame him and others for not doing theirs,” McDevitt said.

This is not the ASADA scandal. It is the Essendon scandal and will go down in history as such.”

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
