Mark McVeigh is poised to become Essendon’s new head coach, a move that comes amid the club’s worst season ever and signals a desperate bid for renewal. Former coach James Hird, who was also in the running, congratulated McVeigh warmly, calling him a great friend — while admitting personal disappointment after giving it his all. Their shared history adds poignancy: both were suspended during Essendon’s supplements scandal when Hird was at the helm. Hird, now focused on his VFL role, has been approached by other clubs but remains committed to his current position. McVeigh, currently Sydney Swans’ defensive coach, may soon leave his current role to help Essendon navigate end-of-season decisions — and the announcement could drop as early as tomorrow.
