Remember James Hird criticising Essendon earlier this year after a bad loss for being soft? The rumour I heard down the pub is that Essendon are going to offer James Hird a 5 years deal. Buckley and Voss are now coaching so to me it'll be no surprise if this rumour is spot on.

Heard similar rumour, but a 3-year deal.

gee guys u must be in the know
but did end up 5 year contract so i believe

4 yr contract not 5
