So who are the 'A' team. To my knowledge he hasn't named anyone, surely Robbo and his mates could follow up with a question and follow up with the A team to see if they were ever a realistic chance to be at EFC or just another "Truth".

 
 

I have two questions for James. 

How have you managed to keep your hair so gorgeous throughout the entire crisis ??

When is Tanya going to dump your arze ?

Other way round? Don't be surprised if he ends up "leavin' on a jet plane.Don't know when I'll be back again".  Au revoir.

Rumor was thats already happened?????

 

The AFL should strip him of his Hall of Fame status.  

Maybe give him a new honour:  Hall of Infamy!! :o

Complete with a recording on loop of Roosevelt saying 'Essendon Coach, James Hird, a name which will live in infamy'

Good old social media:

By the by the age is updating its website. The beta test site doesn't have a pay wall

 

You can browse the normal age website in icognito mode and they paywall doesn't trigger.

Clever. ta

Perhaps in exile Hird can take a role in North Korea as Integrity & Information Minister, they could rename the Kim Dynasty to the Jim Dynasty and he could carry on his good work there.

Usurped by Tracy? 

 

Doesn't she have form?

Yes.

Is that still on?

Tracy appears to have taken over Tania's role as head cheerleader for TEAM HIRD. BTW anyone seen Tania's mug on the big screen recently?

It would be a diabolical slap in the face to Essendon stalwarts/greats (David Evans, Tim Watson, Jobe Watson, Bomber Thompson et al) if Tanner repeats his invitation to Hird to come back into the fold.

Dammit,  I hope he does!

A role for Tania during the interview could be to hold up enlarged copies of her notes for James to read at the appropriate moments. She has copious notes don't forget. 

 

 he's a serial pest, jack, but i prefer this other rendition of his

 

 

Fcuk that must be Alan from Greenvale who has rung up SEN so often to just talk absolute rubbish on air...!!

 

I have not read it ( I have refuse to now listen or read anything he puts out ) so I guess asking the next question then makes me a hypocrite but does he mention anything about "the Records"

"Records??  Do you mean the Footy Record?  I have lots of those at home. I have kept and framed every on that has my photo on the cover.  Keep them next to the dressing room suite mirror.  But how could they help redress this diabolical injustice?"

Actually im a little surprised we haven't seen the media cap outside his house. But my god he is blaming others again. Wonder what McCartney will have to say and Im sure Mark Thompson will no doubt fire back. 

High performance was the mantra from top to bottom with then club president David Evans driving us to find the best ways to do everything we did," Hird wrote.

"It would become clear our football team team was uncompetitive in the "strength stakes". 

"Our thinking was heavily influenced in 2011 by two-time premiership coach Mark Thompson, who was my senior mentor, and Brendan McCartney, my senior assistant coach."

OMG he just cannot see it.  Everybody else is to blame and absolutely nothing to do with him, the one who said early on as I recall, that he would take full responsibility.   

Pathologically deluded.

Imagine what is on those other tapped calls between friends other than "the good stuff"

you mean those idiot sheets, I think they're called?

Yes Dee L, that's what I meant. Idiot sheets. We don't think James is the sharpest tool in the shed so it's an eerily appropriate name.

ssshh, he thinks he is... so does his Tinia.  thinks the world of him.  sticks to him like another layer.

 

problem with 'james h' is,  he thinks everyone else are idiots,  who'll just follow & believe him.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
