I think Hird was definitely over awed by becoming head coach of his old club. That and he had a dream team of experienced assistants around him and that would only increase the desperation to succeed. I actually think the giants suit him well as an established list they’ll benefit from Hirds smart footballing brain.
With Leon Cameron gone, GWS finally have a chance
Ben Rutten is on a three year deal so he’s contracted to the end of next year
AFL NEWS: Swans unsure on Martin but star has Hardwick's blessing if he wants out, Pickett banned, Rohan ready
I think that would be an awful decision from the Giants
AFL NEWS: Swans unsure on Martin but star has Hardwick's blessing if he wants out, Pickett banned, Rohan ready
Honestly I don’t know what the attraction is but that’s what I’m hearing up here in Sydney where I’m closer to what’s going on
With Leon Cameron gone, GWS finally have a chance
You just wait I have my sources and I reckon there’s a lot going on behind the scenes to make it more palatable for Hird to coach
With Leon Cameron gone, GWS finally have a chance
Cameron Out Hird in I hope the giants are ready for daily drug tests
With Leon Cameron gone, GWS finally have a chance
Never.
Six Points: Lloyd's Bomber bake misses the point, Leon Cameron deserves more credit, and AFL flips fans the bird again
Hook it to my veins if it’s a bulldogs loss
Six Points: Lloyd's Bomber bake misses the point, Leon Cameron deserves more credit, and AFL flips fans the bird again
I disagree. Lloyd wasn’t saying line up Luke Parker in an unfair fashion like he did with Brad Sewell. He was saying remonstrate with him make sure he has the fear to not be a chatty smart mouth.

They both started at Penno in their junior daus
'It's the right result': Leon Cameron confirms mutual decision behind resignation as Giants coach
That win against the Hawks was a pretty solid win from behind by a significant margin as well
Round 8 power rankings: Bombers are back
You can only beat who’s in front of you macca I am reserving judgement till they play my boys this week
Round 8 power rankings: Bombers are back
I think it’s the wrong call to bring in Fantasia without SANFL games given his injury history.

Typical dogs tactics injuring opposition players haha
AFL NEWS: Heppell hits out at 'smiling' critics, Seven Eagles fined for COVID breach, Cripps cleared at tribunal
Honestly surprised they’re still trying to get him back they have good players waiting in the wings. I don’t think Hannaberry will ever get back to where he was

Franga is also 192 and perko is 188
AFL Saturday Study: The Swans' SCG problem could cost them top four, and fortune favours brave, brilliant Bombers
Like I can wear the cost of an overpriced beer and pie but the tickets themselves are getting prohibitively expensive
AFL Saturday Study: The Swans' SCG problem could cost them top four, and fortune favours brave, brilliant Bombers
The problem the hawks have is they’ve overloaded their backline. It’s resulted in them playing a back half game style like Essendon did a couple years ago when they had Saad and McKenna coming off the half back flanks.

Also going to the footy is still too expensive tickets should be like forty bucks
AFL Saturday Study: The Swans' SCG problem could cost them top four, and fortune favours brave, brilliant Bombers
That’s on fire
AFL Saturday Study: The Swans' SCG problem could cost them top four, and fortune favours brave, brilliant Bombers
I think the problem tbe hawks have is they only play for three quarters. Like the Bombers dominated that quarter and it was helped by the fact that they were able to play instinctive footy. Their natural game rather than the woefully over coached game style that has pervaded over the past couple months
AFL Saturday Study: The Swans' SCG problem could cost them top four, and fortune favours brave, brilliant Bombers
Honestly don’t get why we didn’t sign him instead we selected Garrett McDonagh. Mcdonagh is fine but he isn’t what the bombers need right now
The Bombers' big problem? Their midfield is too small and too soft
Yep you can’t just tip the under dog. Anarchy means it’s completely unpredictable
The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 7
Walla needs to do right by himself. He will always be welcome at the Essendon footy club as once a bomber always a bomber. But this is a crisis of confidence in the Essendon footy club that is increasingly rivalling 2016 when we were missing the thirty four. I hope Ben Rutten and co are ready to do the hard yards required to build this list back up
