The former Essendon champion has become a constant figure at the VFL club watching his son Tom play, and powerbrokers are keen to put the question to him.
Famous VFL club Port Melbourne will make a longshot bid to convince former Essendon coach and AFL legend James Hird to consider a return to senior coaching.
Club powerbrokers have been urging for Hird to be on the club’s wishlist, but two sources close to the former Bomber said Hird would be unlikely to take the job despite his love for the VFL that has welcomed him as he watched his son. The Borough is keen to throw the coaching selection process wide open, having been extremely successful during the reign of Hawthorn champion and dual Norm Smith medallist Gary Ayres, and will speak to Hird to gauge his intentions.Former Western Bulldogs champion Rohan Smith is also expected to be on their radar.
The Australian Football Hall of Fame member took time away from football to recover from the effects of the saga on his health and wellbeing, but he has returned football in recent years.
