Herald Sun saying May open the door for James Hird return. That will inject some optimism in Essendank. So hope that happens

Good pun.

If Hird came back and I was a player's parent I would get my kids out of that club asap.

In fact, if I would get my kids out asap, anyway.  Right now they are seeing their careers go down the gurgler.  Development is poor, club divided and finals are light years away.

It will be Hird. Purely to keep the membership base and the coteries happy. They worship at his altar.

An Essendrug Clown just called in to SEN and said he wanted Hird back as The CEO

They really are obsessed….

Off to the Essendon BigFooty forum for a morning giggle.

Well done to North. Kind of like our Paul Roos moment in late 2013 -  on the road to some relevance for them. 


Even if Clarko was genuinely interested in Essendon, the Bombers messed that up with loose cannons like Sheedy not knowing when to shut up.

Draper!

So Draper for Jackson? Sounds like a good replacement, we wouldn't miss Dogga as much as he certainly will miss the Dees

I concur with @binman

The first thing I thought of when this was announced was the day we announced Roosy was coming on board. It cleared away alot of the acrid stench of 2013 in one fell swoop.  Ironically enough, this appointment will mean that Roosy's consulting company has definitely lost its gig at North.

The Dons treatment of Rutten has been apalling and the need of some segments of their supporter base to promote James Hird as coach again is delusional.

Watching Footy Classified on YouTube, Caro came straight out and marked Robinson 'a James Hird spokesman in the media'. I'm glad someone said it. The Hun and all its Essendon/Hird cheerleaders reheating the ASADA battle is as tiresome as how often they write about the Melbourne gangland war (despite Carlos being arrested in '04 and being dead for 12 years).

Loony Tunes Sheedy on the board and Hird as CEO what could possibly go wrong 🤪

So this means North will be competitive in 4 or 5 years? Will Clarkson still be there by then?

Any consequences for the Tasmanian team bid now that Clarkson is no longer a central piece of their plan?

Can we pick up some pieces from the crumbling Bombers? Any decent player that may fit in our list?

Perhaps that tall bloke  2m peter,    not consistant but I think he would help

The conspiracy theorist would say Clarko is on board to help North transition to Tassie.

….and Scotty from Canberra as a shadow coach? (but we will never really know of course)

What's even more delicious about this is that Essendon could clearly have gotten Clarko mid-season if they hadn't gone through their sham of an internal review that said there was nothing to see here in relation to their on field performances!

I'm happy that the media assumption that the big club would simply beat out the small club because of it's resources has fallen flat!


🤣🤣 made an account solely to rub the Clarkson decision in and they got all hurt from this little comment. Account suspended too 🤣

totally immature but I couldn’t resist after the complete mishandling of this situation they created. EB7C31E0-9425-4E66-9C5D-DA35A791E2EF.thumb.jpeg.ee62631f3a7a425879c96d1c24bf4803.jpeg

Every time I read  Essendon and Hird mentioned in the same sentence I start singing to myself the classic blues song, “ST JAMES INFIRMARY BLUES”. Why do I do this? 
Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary,

See my baby there;
She's stretched out on a long, white table,
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair.
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
Wherever she may be,
She will search this wide world over,
But she'll never find another sweet man like me.
Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat.
An' give me six crap shooting pall bearers,
Let a chorus girl sing me a song.
Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along.
Folks, now that you have heard my story,
Say, boy, hand me over another shot of that booze;
If anyone should ask you,
Tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues.

Clarko’s decision opens the door for shock Hird return

Alastair Clarkson has committed to North Melbourne - and his decision has left the door open for a sensational twist. Here’s the exclusive details.

How much does Robbo love Hird honestly.....

Like clockwork, he was always going to write this

Hird to the bombers is like Trump to the Republicans. Doesn’t matter what he says or does…he’ll be the one to “rescue them”. He’ll do nothing but polarise the club and everyone within it. “I see a bad moon arising “ But in the bombers case it does bring a smile.

Please let it happen, this would be hilarious - the club will implode.

"As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly

 

I’m in two minds. I’m happy for North and it sticks it up the Bombers. But to be honest I wanted North to fold and a 18th team in Tasmania. This competition can’t and shouldn’t be forced to try and sustain a 19th or 20th team. This now keeps the Wolves from the door.

The sensible thing to do.

The Ess factions have been warring for a long time.  It wouldn't end if Clarkson went there; it may have even become worse.

Ess has kicked the biggest 'own goal' of all time.  They are now so badly fractured who knows how long it will take to put the pieces back together.  Would be happy if it takes 'forever'!

If Clarkson turns them down, who would be silly enough to take the coaching job.

Time for the popcorn!:cool:

Tassie Bombers?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
