James Hird

That was maybe my only...

Keep going with that and just let the boys go to work.

He's also been at Port Melbourne, as a lot of people will know, where my brother plays in the VFL.

He's got a bit to do with Hurdy as well, and Hurdy's been great.

When he was up here, he was really, really good.

He's obviously, you know, I don't need to go on about what an incredible player he was, but having him around some of his leadership staff, getting to pick his brain was incredible.

So I did see that he's put his hand up for the job, and I think he certainly should be a part of the process.

I'd absolutely love to, guys.

I think I've checked that after the bye, we do play St Kilda down in Melbourne.

So if everything works well, we can get the stars to align.

That'd work perfectly because I had so much fun last time.

I'd love to do it again.

You guys too.

Thanks a lot.

You're on.

Good morning, guys.

This is a take it to the bank.

And I know family members that are on the coterie groups at Essendon.

And as you know, I'm a Richmond supporter.

But I was told two months ago that James Hurd will be the next coach of Essendon.
