I honestly think this is the only way for Essendon to move on. Rightly or wrongly forever associated with the scandal

Best thing for the Bombers going forward.

he shouldnt be able to say he resigned though. He either got fired and got paid out or he resigned and gets nothing.

For the damage he has done he should be sacked and have to pay the club back in damages.

Probably has done more damage to the club than he ever did positively as a football player, which is saying alot as the guy could play.

Find it interesting that this announcement being made just over an hour before the television rights are at 4:30.

Big news day then for AFL and basically agree that Hird had to go to allow Bombers to move forward.

Was thinking that also... almost comes across as spiteful from Essendon (I think it was just a coincidence though)

About 2 years late

About 2 years late

I could easily make an argument that it was 4 years too late.

or he was coaching 5 years too early in the first place.
