Chris

Laying his resume out on live TV

Footy Classified aka State Sponsored James Hird propaganda

@KilldozingBaby @SilentGhost263 Because he said he wasn’t keen back before they fired Knights. And then look what happened. Him saying he isn’t interested, frankly, can’t 100% be trusted.

@SilentGhost263 The constant ‘shadow’ comes exclusively from deluded fans, and rage bait media. I must have heard a dozen different interviews w Hird where he’s made it clear he has no desire to coach Essendon. A serious coach isn’t on twitter, and doesn’t listen to SEN.

major reason i don't think we'll have candidates rushing to apply. frankly who'd want to coach this club with the gigantic shadow of James Hird looming over you. Scott won the process against him & James shut down the thought multiple times yet it still never quieted the noise.

‘Unfinished business’ For James, maybe. But he had two cracks at it and neither of them went well.

@jackson31619 Lots of loud idiots. Most of the engaged fans I’ve seen are wary of Hird if not totally against it

Do people really want this? I've got a few essendon people on here...surely not right?

i grew up watching carrie bradshaw relentlessly embarrass herself trying to possess mr. big but after six seasons and two movies it is evidently still a less toxic relationship than windy hill coteries and james hird.

@SteveM_ac @AnotherJR Not knowing is not an excuse and pretty convenient, if you ask me. He was negligent in his duty of care.

@Calbert1994 @AnotherJR He was the coach Chris. The football manager let him and the club down. I repeat, James was the coach who suggested a suppliment regime, and trusted the footy ops department to ensure it operated smoothly. If you blame him for that, you’re not interested in facts

What can you say to a person whose response to you saying ‘hiring James Hird again is a bad idea’ is ‘why?’ How far detached from reality do you have to be to not see why?

@DonsFootySpace He was gonna be playing regardless. Short on numbers and withdrawn from VFL.

Gee, I’d be so intrigued to see if Solomon plays Tsatas this week.

Will say till the end of time. You can’t say not trading Zach wasn’t a good decision when we ended up with the best draft pick of their offer and got to keep the player. The other picks in the offer were some bullshit and Hawthorn knew that

@HBWonder @AFL @CalTwomey Yes, same thing witht the West Coast job. Sooner or later a guy will come along and think 'I may lose my job but I'll have a lot of $$$ after' and take a chance

@AFL @CalTwomey That may be the case, but it's amazing what the prospect of a million dollar a year job does to ones opinion

Essendon does not have the type of environment where young coaches would believe they can thrive, @CalTwomey writes. afl.com.au/news/1528196/w…

@DonsPierpoint @1116sen Not against change, not even convinced Scott was the coach of the future. My main reason for keeping him in place was about being committed to the path we’re on and seeing it through. I hope the club stays with the overall list plan. Don’t go trading picks for average players

Brad Scott's Essendon record doesn't make for pretty reading... 😬 #AFL

Good news everyone, I’ve found the shortlist for Essendon’s next coach

They're 100% right and you don't like it because you're a part of the group they're blaming.

Plenty of wisdom from RoCo

Listening to Tim Roberts talk, he does not sound like a man who speaks with conviction. He is either not on board with the call or seems overwhelmed sitting in front of the media.

This feels like it’s just going to be 45 minutes of dancing on a dudes grave

Do i particularly care that Brad Scott himself has been fired? No, not really. Do i think this was a short sighted, incorrect move to do mid-season? Yes, very much so. Same old Essendon, can't handle the heat.

@AnotherJR I need to find new colours because I don’t want to bring back a coach that is, and this is being generous, partially responsible for the darkest period of the clubs history? He at best was the mastermind, at worst, too cowardly to put a stop to it. He is wholly unfit to coach.

@Calbert1994 🤣 Time for you to choose some new colours champ!

‘A new dawn’ Yeah colour me a bit more skeptical that anything positive is happening with this club any time soon
