Is this the worst 45 minutes an Aussie team has played at a World Cup in the last 25 years? #SoccerWorldCup2026

What is all of this James Hird paranoia about? Personally I’d select him immediately. He’s an outstanding candidate with great experience and knowledge. Hinkley wouldn’t compete with Hird that’s why he’s taking his precious stance. Hinkley and Simpson are trying to manipulate the process. Just make a decision…..one is yes I’m in the other is no I’m not. You can’t have it both ways by saying I’ll nominate if you delete Hirds application. I’m a Hird fan. Couldn’t give a stuff about the past (which is a whole suspicious story in itself by AFL) I’m only interested in the very best person to lift the club out of the mire and return it to respect and success - and that’s James Hird.

@lilymatildamary @sumwheresmiling Your confusing fact with opinion. Has not done the work? How do you know this is fact? Hasn’t done same work as other so can’t be best for job? How do you know? Not everyone needs same training? Out of the system? Cmon 🤦‍♂️ game is past him? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Mike @goobaw]

@lilymatildamary @sumwheresmiling so your arguments are based on feelings and not a considered thought

Everyone’s chiming in with a Hird opinion. So here’s mine.

I think we either just appoint hirdy with no process. Other than the obvious rigorous solo interview process for him alone. And then if that’s not what the club feels they need then exclude him from the formal process with other coaches.

You’re not going to get a Longmire, Hinkley etc even entertain the job until Hird is ruled out like that.

My ideal scenario. Hird senior coach with Hinkley beside him. Let’s ride the wave of Essendon passion. After all, it’s not like we can get any worse. A bit of a free hit. And we can finally say one way or the other, Hird is the saviour or not.

@lilymatildamary @sumwheresmiling why are you so mad

[Mike @goobaw]

serious question. if the club picks a coach soon could they start before the season end? why wait till end of year?

[Mike @goobaw]

[Josh Jenkins @JoshJenkins24]

Bring in JAMES HIRD.
Will work WONDERS or COLLAPSE and they’ll know once and for all.

Otherwise that shadow keeps lingering

@vivapokey @rohan_connolly @ESPNAusNZ your implication that there is a cult to be killed is flawed. You are in the minority who think like you. #manyellsatclouds

[Mike @goobaw]

@vivapokey @rohan_connolly @ESPNAusNZ no, happy for you to read my point again so you can comprehend what i said. If anyone other than Hird is the coach the same forces will wonder what if. and the appointment will never have the full backing of the supporter base. Need to scratch the Hird itch.

[Mike @goobaw]

@lilymatildamary @FOXFOOTY that's just silly.

[Mike @goobaw]

Hird needs to coach Essendon, whether he succeeds or not doesn't matter. It is the only way forward for the club to heal and let go of the past. Either way everyone should encourage the idea as it is a step forward closer to the needed outcome

[Mike @goobaw]

@lilymatildamary @FOXFOOTY why are you so against the idea of Hird?
