ESSENDON fans will harness people power at Etihad Stadium on Saturday to support besieged coach James Hird.
The fans behind the BomberBlitz website are trying to start a viral campaign to back their coach and club great.
They aim to make Saturday's match against Etihad Stadium a sea of "Stand by Hird" signs.
ASADA officials will interview Hird tomorrow over the drugs scandal that could see him banned from football.
They will likely be joined by the AFL's own integrity department and will question his knowledge of the intravenous injections which are banned under the AFL's drug code.
The Essendon champion says he will fight to clear his name over allegations he was deeply involved in the club's supplements program and was himself injected with substances banned for players.

The fans aim to spread the word via social media to bypass what they see as an anti-Hird mainstream media.
"In the face of oppression it's time to stand together and support the coaches and players who have done so much for us," the site proclaims.

"Directly under the spot light is our coach and leader James Hird. Who has been unfairly tried by the media and abandoned by the league without the presumption of innocence or proof of wrong doing.
"Show your #standbyhird poster with pride. Get it on camera. Post it on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and whereever else you can.
"Call the paper. Call the radio stations. Let them know you won't support a narrative of presupposed guilt and disrespect towards champions of our game."
The site includes a poster fans can print and take to Saturday's game.
