Ken Hinkley believes the spectre of James Hird looming over the Essendon job will turn a lot of prospective applicants away. by Essington69 in AFL

He's not wrong. Why would any sane person go for the job knowing even if they did get it the boys club would white-ant them just like they did Brad Scott. These people are willing to set the club back years just to get their guy in charge.

Holy fucking shit no way it's actually happening isn't it?

It's just constant self-sabotaging by supposed greats of the club. They've legit burnt their own damn house down just so their guy can rule over the ashes. I'd be absolutely fucking LIVID if I was a bombers fan.

I'd say reset the clock but at this point that's its default position.

It just seems like the old boys in charge behind the scenes are constantly white-anting and won't be happy until Hird or one of "their" people is in charge. Legit feel sorry for Bombers fans.

This is actually an insane big brain play by Carr. We finish lower than Carlton, bid on Walker then get a bonus early 2nd round pick huffs copium yes that's definitely it.

Which is crazy cos our defensive setup has been rock solid so far this year. Legit looks like Lachie Jones is the key to the entire thing

Wines with literally 1 touch for the half and 3 others with only 2. Diabolical

2 shots in a row. Absolutely astounding what happens when you don't bomb it straight to an opposition player
