@smorganism@Thomo_Grant How's the Non Essendon people gone so far?
Hinkley won fuck all in his coaching career. Simpson done well except for one year. Longmire best other option but puts ya to sleep listening to him. Until Hird gets it n fails or succeeds it will continue to pop up
@smorganism@Thomo_Grant I hope Hird gets job, but I'd be extremely surprised if he does as the board will be gutless n scared of the mafia media attention
@smorganism@Thomo_Grant I'd be that confident and keen for a Senior role that I'd back myself in to win the role anyway. If not yr better for the experience. If people like Simpson who is a premiership coach feels inferior, hes best to jog on.
I really find it quite pathetic that prospective coaches are being “scared away” from the process because James Hird has applied and they are exerting pressure for the club to not interview him so these gutless wonders can have a free run. Make no mistake the perceived “top liners” will NOT be entering the process unless they have been given an undertaking they will get the job. They will not just enter the “process” and hope to win because if they lose their brand is significantly diminished. James is happy to go head to head with anyone and let the club decide, unfortunately the other pussies want a more guaranteed outcome. If I was Essendon I’d welcome their application, give no guarantees and see how the interview process pans out. If they ask if Hird is going to get the nod I’d just tell them “If James Hird is the best candidate through the process of course he will…..are you doubting your credentials against his? If so you’re probably not the right person for the gig”.
@maxblake9and44 Also in a normal job if you test positive to a random drug test you lose your job, not in the AFL, you get to sweep it under the carpet and carry on
@ClarkyHeraldSun Arnt they made aware of the risks when they nominate for the draft, Surely they are made sign paperwork that state the risks before nominating.
