@Thomo_Grant I agree! What’s wrong with having a go & potentially missing out? They should apply and put their brand behind them. They have been sacked. What’s worse for their brand than that?
James went into the pool and came second to Brad Scott, yet happy to go though the process again
A lot of ppl saying Hird has knocked out some coaches from the race by stating he’s keen….if they’re rattled by that they don’t have what it takes. You need to be able to battle everything that comes your way not run away like a baby.
@rtralphy Agree, #essendonfc need to prepare to piss a few people off. Be ruthless again, I’d really like to see Hirdy lifting the next Essendon premiership cup even if not senior coach, still assistant coach or development.
@FootyLock6 Going through the process, if it’s not Hird, say Hinkley is appointed senior coach, I strongly feel Hird should becoming assistant or head of development. Otherwise the noise isn’t going away. That’s a win win.
@PatrickRyen Well said, I completely agree. His passion & commitment to the club speaks for itself. He is heart n soul. My wish is for great people to be around him too. Bring in the best development coach, strategic coach so it will be a whole team effort and James will bring it all togther
@BigRick555 It’s basic stuff like this that makes all the difference. Good teams don’t do it.
Go back away from the mark, shepherd for a team mate, tackle and pressure like your life depends on it. Show some pride and stick up for teammates. Zero heat
@RalphyHeraldSun It’s not that extraordinary Ralphy, Scott is just calling it as it is. Love to hear it.
Also loved to see the coach fire up at quarter time. Players need a little spray aimed at firing them up.
@GaryODonnell10 I really wish, when I went to the game I saw my team defend like their life depended on it. Instread I saw the same old reactionary Essendon watching the ball transition. Man up?
@FlightPlanPod How has his thinking changed, Bombers had half a team in the second half. Little hard for ‘sucess’ for Merrett with half a team. Not sure what he was expecting
@pauljames1968 Bring him home! Senior assistant to Brad, head of development, head of strategy, find a role.
He bleeds red and black and would be massive for aligning the young team 🔴⚫️
