@Shayno63 @PatrickRyen @BigRick555 @BkupWoody In the words of Bon Jovi We need to keep the faith! #GoDons

@MakeBirdiePutt @PatrickRyen @BigRick555 @BkupWoody I’ve been there and traveling interstate just to keep supporting the club basically knowing it was a bad mistake from the Brad was appointed . It shows I’m either stupid or loyal not that I have money to throw away as it the end was coming quick if Brad stayed on .

We can now finally, properly move forward as a football club ♥️🖤💪 #godons 🖤♥️👊

@1116sen Poor Gerard. Is he ok? Not feeling well? #GoDons

Whateley: Sacking coaches might be the only thing Essendon are good at | bit.ly/3RtLofL | #AFL

@Bombers_Boss No accountability from Jordan on being part of the hiring of Scott!

Senior core group of players have got another victim! No surprise that Jordan Lewis is bagging the club given he was involved in the coaching search and review of the club. He’s calling for Welsh and Roberts to step down as well

@WhateleySEN @1116sen @HyundaiAus Gerard sticking up for his mate Brad. You led AFL media pack of him joining the process half way through & lauded his AFL HQ pushed appointment. @essendonfc doesn’t have to please you & your agenda opinions are simply water off a ducks back! You can yell all you like #EFCFirst

@FlightPlanPod Hmm…..new name change 😉

Hopefully Essendon has some kind of plan in place, because change for change sake in our position is nonsensical

@MarcusHenry18 1. Hird hasn’t put up his hand for the gig. 2. If he doesn’t he doesn’t. The air became clean once Scott was removed. Nothing to do with Hird. With no AFL interference…..let’s back the club to do the right thing. #GoDons

@MakeBirdiePutt It is not an attack, it is my personal opinion. Think club needs clean air & him returning does not do that. As I said, just my opinion, like you have yours.

To all those wanting Hird back he has NOT coached a single game since he was removed last time. It is not an entitlement for him. Move on.

Gerard ‘flip-flopper’ Whateley will always be an @AFL shill. Knew Essendon was stitched up, but blood money changed his tune. Fuck him. #godons

@Shayno63 @PatrickRyen @BigRick555 @BkupWoody The only remaining from AFL HQ is Andrew Dillon (read the book AFL Boys Club by Michael Warner on what they did to our club & Hird to protect the AFL Brand). We now have our club back & in control! No more bullying from AFL HQ. Time to regenerate the Red & Black Army!

@PatrickRyen @MakeBirdiePutt @BigRick555 @BkupWoody Welshy has taken our club back from the AFL , now make us Essendon again . He got Solly there for a reason now use him . Give him the rest of the year to convince Zach to stay . And the rest will fall into place for Solly to be Essendon’s next long term coach .

@pauljames1968 Maybe his strengths should be encouraged/supported & gee I don’t know…..picked on form….and really thinking outside the box……played in the position his form warranted!

@dfs79 @essendonfc @AFL He did the research on AOD and actually lead the integrity fight then out of nowhere (the well known AFL tap on the shoulder) he uprooted his integrity & jumped on the afl agenda driven boys club! Both Gerard & Caro were fed dribble & both lapped it up!

@MakeBirdiePutt @essendonfc @AFL He completely changed his stance after HQ threatened his journo credentials. Never forget.

Gerard Whateley on his high horse looking after is buddy Brad Scott…..brother of his all time love Chris Scott! You can only giggle at Whateley’s opinions. All @essendonfc mints/supporters will never forget the hatchet job you did on James Hird after being tapped by the @AFL

@thethoroughbred He was sacked before Neale’s very sad death! You can’t fault the club on this!

We are in mourning for an icon, Neale Daniher, so Essendon sacks its coach within 24 hours of his death. Everyone on the board ... give yourself an uppercut. #terribletiming

@1116sen Great day for our Club. Finally moving forward! Only mess was the panel who appointed him! Where is the media accountability on this panel????

"Absolute mess": Cornes takes aim at Essendon board | bit.ly/4f35WFG | #AFL

@cleary_mitch @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL Restore selection integrity…..picking favourite players over form or just focusing on a players weakness. Earn your spot!

@Bomberbuzzer If he puts his hand up then he puts his hand up. If he doesn’t he doesn’t. Clean air is getting the right person to: 1. Gets the players to play for him 2. Makes us hard to play against 3. Make players accountable 4. Has selection integrity 5. Developes 6. Unites us all!

So if Hird doesn’t go for the job, does that give the next coach clear air?

@benlee1979 @alanjbetts6 Joined half way through the process with the nudging of the AFL once word got out Hird had presented very well!

Let’s get the coaching selection panel right this time. The below never filled me with confidence.

@Mattlevy74 @Bombergrl2000 Spot on!

@Bombergrl2000 Far far too many ‘dark’ moments clouded over the little light ones…. For me , and it’s only fresh - the start of the Freo game was so lacklustre - no intensity, no cohesiveness

Had to happen… the losses have been way too woeful for him to stay

@Laga_33 Great point!

I've been anti Brad Scott since he vocally supported Tarryn Thomas as a "good guy" a week before a round that was highlighting domestic violence. So fuck that guy, I can enjoy watching my team again.

@Bombers_Boss @alanjbetts6 Merrett already gone/Ridley too injuried. Game plan is a joke. Our all ground defence is embarrassing. Selection was shit! Change had to be made now because two other clubs are coach looking & with game in Perth the whole squad/staff gets out of Melbourne Media Agenda bubble!

In my opinion this decision to go this early is as much about keeping Merrett and Ridley as the coaching performance in itself.
