Essendon caretaker Dean Solomon has shut off his social media as noise continues to build around James Hird leading the race to take over as coach.
Solomon got his first experience in the Bombers hot seat on Sunday as Essendon slumped to a 30-point loss to West Coast in Perth.
The 12.13 (85) to 8.7 (55) defeat left Essendon (1-11) anchored to the bottom of the table.
