A special moment.

Same speech at the weddings?

This is so fucking embarrassing. So confected, the embarrassing music behind it, this is not a PR exercise. Couldn’t have read the room worse. Incredible. This is going to end in tears.

Would have been nice 24 hours ago. Who leaked it. Piss poor form

Boys club. Mediocre appointment by a piece of shit club. Jobs for the boys!

Can see it means more than just a job. His heart is fully in it. Go get em Spike ❤️🖤

“Uphold those values mate”…. Too matesy. Utter. Effing. Disgrace. I. Am. Done.

Let’s go 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔴⚫️

Absolutely sickening. Welsh your such a wanker. I have nothing against Spike I just dont beleive he was our best choice. The way the club is being ran is a joke. I won't be renewing my membership

Starting to look like Pep Guardiola, must me good

So disappointed !! You had one chance, nothing against Spike, but FK you lot...you had the opportunity of a lifetime and went for a best man at Welsh's wedding over what 85% of suppoters wanted...fkn nepotism, had it

The nostalgia inside of me wanted Jimbob, but I’m a long-time Bomber fan. A long-time suffering Bomber fan now. I’m 💯 supporting Mark McVeigh as the coach to turn this around and once again be a competitive and respected Australian sporting club! It starts today! Let’s gooooo! 💪 ⚫️🔴

Naww bless him. More footage please love it. He’s worked so hard for so long. He’s leaning all the way into this and so am I. Lets go coach ❤️🖤

After watching the almost teary voice of Spike in this video, it makes me want more to re-connect with my other family, Essendon Football Club. After 7 years in London and now back in Melbourne, it is now time to commit to Red & Black Army. I will sign up for for membership 2027

HIRD SHOULD BE COACH LIKE BUTTON

Get behind him farken 👏

Good on you Mark, i for one will be with you till the end, Come on you Bombers! ❤️🖤

WTF Why not have the respect to rule James Hird out weeks gutless,disrespectfull,spineless mob of Flogs.Good fugging luck next year McVeigh man you gunna need it.If McVeigh was true blue he would have stepped down as a candicate to a better man in Hirdy

A special moment alright, a special moment of disgrace

Beautiful wedding 🥹 Give it 3 years

you can win the fans back by hiring herbatron in the socials video department. He's already put out this masterpiece same day as announcement

@ScooterMcNeice Did i hear not let you down? what expectations has Best man Welsh set?

Job for the boys

You can see how much it means to him.

Thinking with their heads not their heart (Hird)… good call by bombers. McVeigh brings a lot of experience from outside of Essendon.

@ScooterMcNeice Conflict of interest picking a best mate?😂

I am all the way in!!!

The board needs to go. Honestly over the mediocrity. Starting with Andrew W.

Why is it the fans who should get behind him? He has a responsibility to get behind the fans and players. Deeds not words.

If it wasn’t Jimmy, pick the next best qualified, it was not McVeigh.

Special moment my arse its a disgraceful,lack of respect to Hirdy.Cellar Dwellars again next year.

Bloody love this!!

Onya Spike , go get it mate, take us back to the top

Our last 6 premierships have been won by players who wore No 10. Sheedy: 2000,93,85,84 Coleman 65, 62. Go Mark!! @rohan_connolly @ScooterMcNeice @PatrickRyen @BomberBanter_au @EverythingEss @DonCaldwelll

Let’s go spike bring us back red and black ❤️🖤

Bro this looks like a slytherin inauguration with a couple of death eaters
