Didn't they leak documents earlier in the year that showed Hird gave instructions for everyone to be legal, safe and approved by Doc Reid?

If this black ops deal is the worst thing to come out of this interview I believe the club will be fine. Robinson is going to find that making these claims may fill his pocket but it will hurt his lawsuit.

"This is categorically rejected by the club"

Wat
 
There will always be 'pros' and 'cons' to any media strategy. But I'm right behind this new one.

I don't care if the cynical media want to twist it.. I think the club HAS to start responding to all these ridiculous assertions.. no more 'wait for the report that people longed ceased to care about'... keep it up.

Thnx Ant.. was just interested to hear your take.. I've a personal view that the better things went on field.. the more and more agitated the club became at the prospect of giving up its points to 'appease' the masses.

I think the club was too quick to allow 'bad governance' to interfere with the drug investigation. The governance led to the WHY of a situation that hadn't even yet proven the WHAT. I hope that makes sense. I would have thought that you first prove an offence/error has occurred and THEN establish the reasons why that error came to pass.

I expect a 'please explain' letter to be sent to J Ralph about his latest effort.. how you link an article about the reigning brownlow medallist returning to the field after injury to "possible the last game players take the field" is absolutely astonishing. Ralph has obviously been a gutter rat all his life (unlike Caro who sank lower as the years wore on) but sheeshh he has taken it to a new level.

"Contrary to reports, James Hird and Danny Corcoran never said the programme should be run as a 'black op'. This is nonsense and categorically rejected by the Club. This assertion is slanderous."

I disagree sorry
 
So, has Robinson come out & said something like - 'I was told to run the program as a black-op'?
 
I suppose Robinson used that term to emphasize the secrecy of the program. The club has never denied that their were confidentiality forms for people to sign to make sure they didn't let rival clubs know what we were up to. Not sure what is wrong with that, most businesses keep their R&D stuff secret, that's what keeps them ahead of the competition.

Not exactly.... He said that Dank said something along the lines of 'this will be like a black op' or something along those lines....

Caro will be spewing if that's the worst of it. And I suspect it might be. Hasn't Robinson been rumored to have been speaking to Caro for a couple of months now? Surely if he had some decent gossip for her other than the 'Hird knew everything' shit she's been peddling for the last 6 months she would have written about it already.

If that was the most sensational thing that gets said.. is going to be pretty lame..

Reminds me of the wide ranging interview with Dank that turned up the heat on Hird :confused:

I personally don't have a problem with calling it 'black ops' or whatever.. it was secret it was designed to give us an advantage... but whatever. if the club wants to deny it then I'm good with that..

She most defiantly would have been!! Devil lady...
 
Ummmm... the weapon can go choke on his tracksuit pants!

Me kids, me kids, sniffle sniffle... people get sacked all the time when they don't deliver ffs. :mad:

This Black OP BS is a stunt to garner even more interest...

this topic is like smoking ciggies as a bomber fan > you know its bad for you but subconsciously very hard to give up...

I don't like this weapon stuff... Its going to cause wave 40235 of idiots grabbing titbits and cranking them, most notably internet warriors with no consequence...
 
Interesting. Apparently Corcoran at the conclusion of the 2011 season (in November) was on leave or a few months after the death of his wife, the same period Robinson recommended Dank. Corcoran came back to EFC in February of 2012 after his leave. When Corcoran returned, Dank had already been hired and was at work.


Oh boy Dean...you peanut

Well I'd say that Corcoran is safe from whatever the fallout from all this is then.
 
It will be interesting to see if Robinson comes out and gives more specifics about the program though. like on what basis did the club believe AOD was WADA/ASADA compliant? Remember Robinson hasnt been interviewed by ASADA and therefore probably hasnt agreed to any terms regarding releasing details before the report is out. It could potentially be a favourable interview for us fans.

Well the quote from Robinson was

Dank "what your asking me to do is run a black op?"

Now that implies danks words not hird's.

The club statement makes reference to hird actually Saying it. Now Robinson has no need to lie really. What does he gain? So if we take that as fact for now, the club has disputed the claim which we have but not exactly.

It's the same has A lot of people on here pointing out jobe "believed" he took AOD.

We are disputing hird asked him to run a black op. doesn't mean that what hird and that asked him to do can be construed as one.
 
I thought robinson had been interviewed by ASADA, and for a lengthy time period aswell...

He has been interviewed by ASADA. For 15 hours actually, the poor arseh*le. This interview is supposedly a rehash of what he told them.
 
My car won't start and I'm stuck waiting for RACV...

I DEMAND HIRDS HEAD ON A PLATTER NOW

Forget what I've written.. I want him gone TODAY.. I'm serious people.. if Hird didn't know my starter fuse was about to blow.. then why the hell should he continue coaching.. I'm stuck in the cold and HE SAID he would take full responsibility for EVERYONE..

Wish I hadn't taken Caro off speed dial.. I've got a few juicy headlines coming to mind.
