Beautiful work, Dog.

I'm getting a little too sucked in to goading the @ WeAreEssendon twitter user now.... lol

Good lord!

We look forward to James continuing to focus on preparing our players for the upcoming season and building on the great work he has done over the last four months.

In relation to the AFL Anti Doping Tribunal, unfortunately the process is taking longer than we initially anticipated. As a club, we remain confident in the player’s position and will continue to provide ongoing support to our players and their families.

The vultures may try and pick at you but we will surround you and protect our No.5 #standbyhird

Who wrote that? Comedy Gold right there!!

Seems to me they might need a 'hird' on standby...

Martin Hardly Has A Clue is tweeting that now all four judges are either wrong or worse, corrupted.

Deakin law is out of the equation for my daughter.

So glad my nephew is at Monash doing a Law/Commerce degree!

Only cos I don't tweet at him, I just observe in a sick mixture of horror and awe at how deluded he is

Now what?

Some jacket waving from the AFL & ASADA might be in order.

The first domino has fallen ...

 

[LanceRomance]

Oh dear

Is this for real?

 

[Dramoth]

Well... that was a good bit of news. It would appear that St Jimmy the Tird is rapidly running out of options to get the ASADA investigation squashed.

What this means to the players, after they get the chairs they were sitting on at the time the findings being handed down freed from their butts, is that unless St Jimmy wants to waste more money that he doesnt really have on yet another costly appeal (I reckon that he must be up to about 400-500k in legal fees now) the players are going to be getting handed the tribunal findings ASAP... and I think that those threats they were making about boycotting the NAB cup are going to be so much fart gas in a cyclone.

Expect the tribunal to hand out bans in the region of 1-2 years in length... unless those two former Essendon players have cut a deal... in which case I would expect those two to get 6-12 month bans backdated by 50% of the term. There will be no mercy shown towards those idiots who have stuck fat with St Jimmy and the Windy Hill boys.

It's a glorious day when Essendone and Albert are dragged through the mud again.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Apparently Hird wasn't in court to hear the decision because he was in La la land "on business".

What the actual **** is this guy doing?

That's where he spends most of his time, apparently.

 

[teknodeejay]

Middle of preseason. Coach Hird* is nowhere to be seen.

You could argue the players looking after their own welfare is safer than Hird being responsible for it.

And this dipstick is a uni lecturer?

Just confirms why I hate academics making comments in media as if they know it all.
The more I learn, the less I know.
