Decided to have a peek at this again, and they truly are a delusional bunch of supporters wanting Hird back 🤦‍♂️ But if it keeps them down for a bit longer then great!

Ben Rutten might have been the only person who wanted that job. Is it too late to ask him back.. 

Hird maybe the only person who could do it. 
nobody wants to go near it, and can you blame them!

Did you see Ross Lyon talking about it on Tuesday? Might as well have said . . . "what a clusterpukc . . . no phukkkking way".

That gave me a good laugh when I heard him.  (He doesn't make me laugh much.)

Hird should have been run out of town on a rail, but there he is, still in the AFL coaching system. Given that that's not going to change, the best use of his talents is back at his spiritual home, running them into the ground and setting them back even more years.

Heard on the radio a theory that "someone" at Ess might be sabotaging their bright and shiny coach selection process to ensure that all the other viable candidates are discouraged, leaving only one man standing ....

As Ross Lyon said, if you are not an 'Ess 'person',  after a couple of years you get spat out even if you make finals:  Knights, Worsfold and Rutten.

They did a lot better than their 'Ess people':  Hird, Bomber.

Stay away Adem!

This headline today in the Hun. Hird PR campaign in full flow, no doubt helped by Robbo. Essentially says that Hird made the mistake of being too trusting….

Honestly, by first stirring up media attention and making himself the front runner, then rejecting the entire process, Ross Lyon has actually confirmed that he is the perfect fit for Essendon.

But it does look like Hird will get the job.

After all, who better to return them to winning finals than the man who was their captain the last time they won a final?

In fairness it’s not Hird PR, it’s from the Howie games podcast which was taped in July and just it the podcast this week.

Best of luck to Hird if he wants to coach again, but could there be a worse place to do it? Either go for the redemption story at GWS where nobody knows who he is in the street OR come back to Victoria like the messiah (despite not having done much the first time around), have people yelling at you about drugs whenever you go into the supermarket, and be caught in a civil war in a few years where 25% of the fans want to sack him and the other 75% would kill to save him. Anyone who encourages him to take the Essendon job is a goose.

I think it is a Fantastic Employment opportunity for us all. We can all Unite and despise Essendrug to the core!! :)

I think the desire to bring Hird back into the fold at Essendon has led to a case of tone deafness.  If they turned up their hearing devices and listened to Zac Merrett's underwhelming response to the possibility of Hird being reappointed it would give them pause for consideration before they pulled that lever.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
