He could be added to the ekers list.
There will be pressure on him from now to see if he can turn them into a top 8 club.

Plus the longer he isn't coach the higher the delusional expectations from their fans.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Hird being lauded for his bravery and courage in applying for the job.
Personally I put it down to hubris and self-indulgence, but each to their own.

Well I mean I can think of another coach who’s coming up on 10 years without a top 4 finish.

Depends when you measure top 4. According to the draft it's where you finish in the finals
So he's had 2 !
Agree though we really want to finish top 4 home and away to give our selves repeated looks at it like the Cats.

Scott was in 2x Prelims with NM so by that measure he also had 2.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Apparently Sheedy voted for Hird despite the coaching subcommittee endorsing Scott. Lost the vote 6-1.
