Jimmy BartelHOST
We've got plenty more to discuss.
Jimmy BartelHOST
Is there a role at Essendon for James Hird? The North Melbourne coaching panel, coaching panel was appointed this week.
Jimmy BartelHOST
And shorter quarters, Craig Drummond pointed to that this week.
Jimmy BartelHOST
Lots, lots to discuss.
James HirdSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Um, I received a text about 6:35 this, this evening, uh, "Can you catch up for a meeting later in the week?" And then hear it on TV, so a little bit disappointing that that gets leaked out, uh, before I've had a chance to think about it, but that's, uh, the way, the industry we're in, Rory.
Jimmy BartelHOST
That was James Hird on Footy Classified on Tuesday night.
Jimmy BartelHOST
Uh, still being asked is there a role for him at, at Essendon.
Jimmy BartelHOST
He was a little bit disappointed that a conversation that he thought was private, just setting the scene here, Sam, um, had been leaked already.
Shane McInnesHOST
He's on contract, but that will just mean VFL time for Jack Viney.
Shane McInnesHOST
Uh, question marks, could he be linked to the Essendon Football Club? Is he the right fit at Tullamarine?
Matthew LloydPANELIST
I, I don't think so, uh, Shane, uh, for where he's at.
Matthew LloydPANELIST
I, I, I've come across Jack back when I was, uh, involved with the AIS Academy, and he's one of the more impressive people I've met.
Matthew LloydPANELIST
Uh, we had a few guys who were pretty slack in some of their training, and Jack was one [laughs] that was as ruthless as I thought.
Matthew LloydPANELIST
I thought, "This guy's gonna captain the club." I saw it from day one.
Matthew LloydPANELIST
But as a footballer and where his body's at, I don't think Essendon should go down that track, taking on someone of that age.
Matthew LloydPANELIST
Um, it's just gotta be a midf- You gotta just play Roby and Sharp and all these guys through the midfield, and some will say you need some experience, but they've got Durham and Caldwell.
Shane McInnesHOST
He's on contract, but that will just mean VFL time for Jack Viney.
Shane McInnesHOST
Uh, question marks, could he be linked to the Essendon Football Club? Is he the right fit at Tullamarine?

Um, it's just gotta be a midfie- You gotta just play Roby and Sharp and all these guys through the midfield, and some will say you need some experience, but they've got Durham and Caldwell.
LiamHOST
Yeah.
LiamHOST
All right, let's move to the final game of the weekend, Fremantle against Essendon.
LiamHOST
Freo go in unchanged, so Mims Strom, as we discussed earlier, is not gonna miss, at least at the moment.
LiamHOST
Be making sure you're watching on the AFLW website and likely the Free Kick Twitter account, 'cause I do try and, uh, retweet when we find out about some of these late injuries.
LiamHOST
All right.
LiamHOST
Now, I also need to have a quick look at Madison Ibrahim's stat.
LiamHOST
I know that she was playing in the Essendon VFLW team, but I can't say I know what her fantasy scoring was like.
LiamHOST
But we ta- we've talked s- at lengths on this recording about those $1 million midfield upgrades.
Jamie GrahamGUEST
And, yeah, it'd be nice to get more bang for buck with his hit-outs when he gets his hands on the ball, for sure.
Peter BellPANELIST
JG, furthest thing from your mind right now, but we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't ask you about the Essendon and Carlton processes.
Peter BellPANELIST
How did you evaluate them personally and what can you share with us? What are you comfortable sharing around the feedback that you've been given from those two clubs?
Jamie GrahamGUEST
It was a great experience.
37 MINS LATER
Ken HinkleyPANELIST
And people who say, well, they can match the deal.
Ken HinkleyPANELIST
Yes, they can match the deal, but he can still choose to leave.
Ken HinkleyPANELIST
Now, I'm sure that, you know, Essendon maybe was sitting there hoping, well, we wouldn't mind that to happen, but, you know, there'd be enough common sense in that that Port can't afford, I don't, Port can't afford for him just to walk.
Ken HinkleyPANELIST
You know, they've got Dougie Cochran coming this year who's going to take some big picks.
Jimmy BartelHOST
We've got plenty more to discuss.
Jimmy BartelHOST
Is there a role at Essendon for James Heard? The North Melbourne coaching panel was appointed this week.
Jimmy BartelHOST
And shorter quarters.
Jimmy BartelHOST
Craig Drummond pointed to that this week.
James HirdSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But that's the way the industry we're in, Rory.
Jimmy BartelHOST
That was James Hurd on footy classified on Tuesday night.
Jimmy BartelHOST
Still being asked, is there a role for him at Essendon? He was a little bit disappointed that a conversation that he thought was private, just setting the scene here, Sam, had been leaked already.
Sam McClureGUEST
Yeah, it just seems for whatever reason, and I'm not really sure, that Essendon and James Hurd can't untangle themselves from each other.

Why wait? We Go V!
Andy MaherHOST
Artie Jones has walked away from an excellent deal from Essendon and stayed at the Western Bulldogs.
Andy MaherHOST
Say that again.
Josh JenkinsPANELIST
You nearly had it.
Andy MaherHOST
But I've had a tough day because, once again, the Mighty Bombers are the butt of another joke.
Josh JenkinsPANELIST
Go on.
Andy MaherHOST
Well, the fact is now the San Francisco 49ers have won more games at the MCG in September in the last 21 years than Essendon.
Josh JenkinsPANELIST
So you nailed that one.
DamonHOST
Played the next week against the Hawks, I think it was, and then was delisted.
DamonHOST
He was dropped, virtually delisted by Michael Voss and wasn't really seen again until, I think it was the last game against Essendon of that season.
DamonHOST
So yeah, I think they both deserve one season at the very least.
DamonHOST
I think they deserve a one-year deal.
17 MINS LATER
DamonHOST
Just the durability is the big thing.
DamonHOST
Price tag aside, which I don't like, yes, I know we've got money in the cap, but you don't just spend it on the first thing that pops out of the bushes.
DamonHOST
And it being Joel Amati, I mean, he's serviceable, but just, again, it reeks of maybe going for like a desperation... type move like Essendon did with good old Harry's brother, Ben.
DamonHOST
Because there weren't any key position defenders in the open market, which drove up his price, which is now ridiculous because they're looking to potentially delist him, trade him, get rid of him, whatever.
Jason WelshHOST
And did you like the 49ers game, Tim?
Tim JacobsonHOST
Do you know, this year, 49ers have won more games at the G and Essendon for the whole year.
Tim JacobsonHOST
Oh,
Jason WelshHOST
gee whiz.
Chris LondonGUEST
I've only actually been to two games in Geelong.
Chris LondonGUEST
I just recently went to the Essendon game.
Chris LondonGUEST
Yep.
Chris LondonGUEST
And that was amazing.
