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….

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).

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.

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.

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?

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
