    Have you Hird the news?

    Jimmy's going to be the next coach of the Bombres.

    Will Bomber Thompson, Choco Williams or Junkyard Dog Laidley be his right-hand man?

              They're hoping to get him - but nothing certain about that yet...at least from what I've heard/read.

              If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                  OK, I thought something may have changed, from the guess work.

                      They stated on 702 ABC radio's 3pm news that Thompson was expected to announce his resignation today. Add that to Ablett's imminent departure and I reckon you can safely say that the Cat's current golden era is officially over.

                              Could be another Voss in the coaching ranks.

                                  Unfortunately yes. I said at the time it would end in tears and I suspect Essendon committee had similar thoughts, hence the move to prop Hird up with experience like Thompson's or Williams'. Being a coach seems now to involve so much more than simply direct contact with the players - and heaven knows that can be complicated enough.

                                      Bomber not expected to join Hird, but is expected to officially resign by the weekend. Seems that he is over it.
