James Hird has confirmed he has not met with Essendon Football Club officials, setting the record straight on speculation about his involvement with the Bombers.
The former Essendon premiership captain and coach addressed the situation publicly on Footy Classified, revealing that no formal discussions have taken place between himself and the club's administration.
Hird's clarification comes amid broader interest in his potential return to the Bombers in some capacity. His appearance on the program put to rest — at least for now — any suggestions that behind-the-scenes conversations had already begun.
The revelation is likely to fuel further debate among Essendon supporters about whether a formal approach from the club could still be on the horizon.
