ESSENDON coach James Hird has welcomed the Bombers' internal review and says he hopes it will uncover the truth about "irregular practices" at the club.
Essendon trained at Wangaratta today ahead of its NAB Cup clash against Richmond tomorrow, in which captain Jobe Watson will make his return from a knee injury, but Hird was again questioned on the multiple reviews into the Bombers' supplement program.
This week the club commissioned former Telstra boss Ziggy Switkowski to conduct an internal probe into how the club found itself under investigation by the AFL and Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
"I'll be involved in the review process when I need to be, but my job is to keep the team playing great footy," Hird said.
"I'm not anxious. I just want the truth. (Bombers chairman) David Evans wants the truth and that's what we're after.
"I believe once that comes out we'll be able to get on with the job of playing football."

But Hird wouldn't put a timeframe on the review, saying "it will take the time it needs to take".
Hird said Watson was totally over a knee injury and was keen to build his match fitness after being given the all-clear by club medicos.

Forward David Zaharakis could be play in Round 1 after just one NAB Cup hitout after several weeks on the sidelines with a quad injury.
The Bombers play Gold Coast next week before taking on Adelaide in the first match of the home-and-away season on March 22.

Boom colt Joe Daniher will play this weekend, but at VFL level in Geelong on Saturday morning.
Hird said the Bombers had only three players on their injury list - Zaharakis, Jason Winderlich and Scott Gumbleton - and all were a chance to play in Round 1.
