What did I do wrong?

Insufficient consumption of banana smoothies. Don't try injecting them though ... :):blink::unsure:

I'm honestly surprised no one being a player or father of a player hasn't knocked him out yet.

Give it time.


DAMMIT!

I was hoping he would've dragged thier faces through the mud for at least another year.

#standbyhird.... lol please

 

Maybe I'm just vindictive, but I quite enjoyed hurling abuse at Hird through my telly this year. Who will I vent my MFCSS angst at now?!


You don't honestly believe that.

No I do not, it obviously wasn't Hird who ushered Little into the meeting room the other night.

James Hird has to now be considered the worst coach in the history of the game, and by a long way. Performance-wise Neeld was worse, but he didn't oversee a peptide program nor did we pay him millions of dollars to drive the club into the ground.

Good riddance.

That Hird resigned is a rumour that Robbo started...sort of face saving for his 'mate'.

The flaw in that is if Hird had resigned there would have been no 'negotiated settlement'...he would have got zip!

But Robbo isn't smart enough to see the flaw!

Make no mistake he did not jump, he was pushed!

Robbo is now probably worried he won't get any more leaks!!

Essendon paid Matthew Knights not to coach in 2011 and 2012 (sacked with 2 years contract left).

Paid Hird not to coach in 2014 while suspended.

Will pay Hird not to coach in 2016.

Probably $2-3 million spent on coaches who didn't coach!

crazy if they didn't

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
