@hawthornzone @XanderMcGuire7 @7AFL Maybe it was a hallucination by AI?

@XanderMcGuire7 @7AFL Time to give it up big X. It’s from three weeks ago.

The AFL is aware that its interchange steward missed a rotation in this game - which led to its count for Hawthorn reading 75, when it should have read 76. The league now knows that when Jack Gunston walked onto the field - which it officially acknowledged as the Hawks’ 75th rotation on the night… was actually Hawthorn’s 76th. Hawthorn believed it still had one more interchange to use. The AFL miscounted Hawthorn’s rotations in the first quarter at the 20 minute mark. Four players came off. The league counted three. The league refused to speak to Channel 7 after it was flagged on the Agenda Setters last night. Instead, opting to release quotes from an interview with its own media platform - AFL Media. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

@andybuds23 No process and Hird? I’ll bet 10k. Up for it?

How much do you want to bet Ess will go through no process at all and just give Hird the job? 😂

@Twittter_Suks It’s just like an internal review by someone who knows the set up very well. Non story to me

Just as newsworthy, but less likely to attract much attention today #GoDons 👇

@BomberRicko @Kyptastic1 Herbert seems to have dropped off predictions? Looked good to me 🤷🏽‍♂️

Here’s another to add to the 50 mid season previews you probably have seen. I talk about 4 players I like: Nick Staropoli (Calder Cannons) Ollie Griffin (Sandringham Dragons) Xavier Bamert (North Melbourne VFL) Jonah Walker (Gippsland Power) All the vision in this link is exclusive video shot by me.

@BomberRicko I just thought he was making the point that past players being at clubs isn’t necessarily bad. You couldn’t argue with his current examples 👌🏼

@kensoath Fair enough Ken. I just noticed he was very enthusiastic about players who have returned to their clubs - Carr, Mitchell, Longmuir. And he didn't have to be did he?

My money is on James Hird. “I want great Essendon people continuing to be involved in the footy club.”

@ausbtcclub @DwaynesWorldSEN He was an enthusiast for the supplements program and it was run poorly which was a disaster. Even he would admit some responsibility

There is only one man every bomber player will respect, and that's the son of Essendon. Bring Hird Back!! Give him a fair go He was the scale goat for the drug saga. End of the day you hire lawyers, you trust their word. You hire physicians, you trust their word. You hire sports scientists, you trust their word. Bring him back. He will take memberships to 100k I havent been a member since Worsfold. Ill be a 100% member with Hird and drive 2 hours to every game.

POLL | Essendon fans, do you want James Hird to return as coach?

@essendonfc @HockeyJade Go well Solly! ✊🏼

Dean Solomon has been appointed as Interim Senior Coach for the remainder of 2026.

@SilentGhost263 @BomberRicko This is exactly right. It would be an appointment based on sentiment and hope. I think fans are more split on this than some think.

@BomberRicko i don't think James has done the work required to put his hand up for a head coaching job. decent start at the Borough but look at Fraser whos been an assistant since he retired & still says hes not ready. James is only ever a 'candidate' for us & that tells me he shouldn't be.

oh lovely. just what you want to hear with the clubs history.

@1116sen @tommorris32 @SENBreakfast Appointing Hird would be more of an ‘Essenendon thing’ to do which Morris and King think is a good idea!!! 😳😳😳

"It's the most Essendon thing ever, isn't it?" @tommorris32 with the details on how Brad Scott's sacking came about. EMERGENCY FIREBALL POD: bit.ly/4tWIi1g 🔥 @SENBreakfast | #AFL

@1116sen @kanecornes @davidking34 @tommorris32 @SENBreakfast Genuinely shocked King & Morris think Hird would be a good appointment as coach!! Kane is right it would be a staggering decision Nowhere near 80% of fans want Hird back Hird had some responsibility for the supplements saga that fans suffered

@WhateleySEN @HyundaiAus Whately has nothing insightful to say about football

"Like Carlton, Essendon's long suit is sacking coaches... it might be the only thing they're good at." @HyundaiAus | #AFL

NOW | Terry Daniher - brother of Neale joins Garry and Tim on the line. sen.com.au/listen

@Tommy_Wolfe7 Great point. Recruiting in particular

While there was always doubt over whether Scott was a good enough coach, the amount of off field restructuring during his tenure cannot be understated. Essendon is now a club with an off field set up that resembles modern AFL standard. Continuing the list build is now the key

@JoshJenkins24 No other club would hire him based on his lack of recent experience ❌

Just get it over with.. Bring in JAMES HIRD. Will work WONDERS or COLLAPSE and they’ll know once and for all. Otherwise that shadow keeps lingering

@DanielCherny Incorrect ❌

Objectively speaking, Essendon has to appoint James Hird if only because until they do every Bombers coach will live with his spectre.

@Sammy__Edmund @PatrickRyen Garry Lyon give the Hird stuff a rest!!! 15 mentions. He wants us to self-implode No other club would appoint Hird with his lack of recent experience

“There is a very, very strong push from a lot of people out there to get James back at Essendon, coaching.” - Tim Watson Dean Solomon to be asked whether he wants to be interim coach. Another payout for the Bombers, but the view was the losses mounted, the team had not improved and the uncompetitive periods were unsustainable. What does it mean for Zach Merrett?

@FootyonNine It know it’s hard for you guys to understand, just think of it like an internal review. He knows the club pretty well. No one batted an eye when he left for family reasons and it was announced he would consult with the club. Suddenly it’s crazy! 🤪

"You can't have Craig Vozzo reviewing it, because he had the opportunity to put those people in place." Why the Bombers using their recent former CEO to lead the club's review doesn't make sense to Jimmy Bartel. #9FootyClassified | Watch on 9 & 9Now 🖥️

@7AFL @kanecornes Easy fix. Points go to Collingwood

"By the book, at this very moment a 50m penalty and an opposition free kick should have been paid (to Collingwood)... which means that Collingwood would have won by six points." 🗣️ Xander McGuire on an unpaid interchange infringement as Dylan Moore was lining up for goal against Collingwood
