Hird would be a great assistant with us.
He's got a very smart football brain.
I think he's more than paid for the supplements craziness.
Hope he can find his way back into the AFL program.

I think he's paid for his line pushing and as we all know they weren't the only ones doing it.

Wasn’t he at an AFL club as an assistant or something a year or two ago ?
To be honest just shows how he isn’t up to it if he is going as an assistant of some sort under MCartney.

Yeah, that's not what happened.
James Hird joins Port Melbourne as director of coaching after turning down senior role
James Hird turned down the senior coaching position at historic VFL club Port Melbourne, but he has joined the Borough as director of coaching.
The role will reunite the former Essendon champion with his Bombers assistant Brendan McCartney, who will be senior coach.
When Hird declined Port?s approach to replace Adam Skrobalak, he suggested McCartney would be an excellent candidate and they could work together.
McCartney?s arrival was signed off on Friday night, agreeing to a two-year deal.
Hird will sit alongside him in the coaching box in what one Port official called a ?sort of chairman of selectors role??.
He will also regularly attend training.
Hird ? whose son Tom plays at Port Melbourne - declined the senior position because of his work commitments.
McCartney, 63, coached the Western Bulldogs from 2012-14 and more recently has been at country club North Ballarat.
He also worked at Collingwood this year.
Late last week McCartney announced he would be leaving the Roosters after four years.
?We have always known that a coach of Macca?s calibre would have opportunities beyond North Ballarat and, while we are sad to lose him, we are very supportive of him exploring full- time options to coach at a higher level,? North Ballarat president Richard Start said.
Port Melbourne finished the season with a win over the Northern Bullants yesterday, closing at a disappointing 6-12.

Sorry, I don't like him, and I think he is a shit bloke.

Do we know if he can actually coach though? Plenty of champions don't quite make it as coaches
His record is obviously overshadowed by the saga

Good q. I think he was thrown in too early and needed Thompson to guide him.
He would certainly need to prove himself.

Do you support letting rehabilitated bank robbers work at the bank? Or would you encourage them to find employment in another industry.

His mateship with Shane Charter during his playing days is enough of a red flag for me before the drug saga hit.
