as I've posted elsewhere, there were rumours that as a pre-eminent admin law judge Kenny was leaning towards Hird. My best case scenario was that she's agree with him in a split decision. The fact she didn't, and emphatically didn't, is extremely telling.

ASADA have had an absolutely crushing win on this matter. In my opinion if Hird doesn't accept this decision he has no place coaching our team.

I wish you were running the club Lance. Little has hardly made a correct decision since he was appointed.

It may still work out for Hird financially. By going to court he has thus far avoided the chop of the Essendon board due to the terms of his contract. That time period has seen him come back into the job and consolidate his position. I think its unlikely now that Essendon will move him on, even if players do receive some short bans. Considering he would be on a seven figure salary, I think he can afford to lose a year's income.

That's what I was leaning to. I mean the club should have drawn the line with the appeal. Although he is paying the costs, there is Essendon in the media again, which could have been totally avoided.
 
I'm sure it's hardly unusual but it still seems disrespectful to not be in court for the verdict of the appeal you instigated (against advice by the other party of the original ruling). Though I suppose you're free to waste the courts time when you're the one paying for it.

I actually think it was totally rude and disrespectful of Justice Kenny not to fly to LA and deliver the verdict personally to James while she was giving him a foot massage.

How the hell can an intelligent guy like yourself STILL be putting riders on whether Hird has a place coaching your Club.

Shakes head.

I don't think it's the terms of his contract that has kept him at the helm.

I think he's made it clear that if he goes down he's taking others down with him.

mainly because I want him to coach us to a premiership to thoroughly get up the noses of everyone in here :D

Of course they were. I mean there's no other possible explanation. It's all a conspiracy man, they're all out to get us man, watch out.

Hird shouldn't have any place coaching Essendon regardless if he accepts the decision or not. He should be banned from the AFL for life then we can all move on and get back to real football.
