Essendon AFL coach Mark McVeigh is reportedly expected to approach former Bombers great James Hird about a potential role with the club.
McVeigh's Interest in Hird
According to reports, McVeigh is keen to bring Hird back into the fold in some capacity, though no formal offer has been made public.
Hird, a former Brownlow medallist and Essendon premiership player, previously served as senior coach of the club from 2011 to 2015.
Potential Role and Reaction
The nature of the role McVeigh might offer Hird has not been specified, and it remains unclear whether Hird would accept any approach.
The news has generated significant interest among Essendon supporters, given Hird's iconic status at the club and his controversial coaching tenure.
Neither McVeigh nor Essendon officials have commented publicly on the reports.
