Mega Thread Dean Robinson's Interview [full interview in OP]

[RegHickeyStand]

What do you know?

I know, or at least have heard, that he has it in for Hird who he believes leaked negative stories about him to the media.

I think this deserves a thread to discuss what may be a very interesting interview tomorrow.

Essendon Statement

 

[Astro Bomber]

He's angry and has every right to be. Be interesting to hear what he has to say. Not that it has any bearing on the punishment handed down to Essendon/Hird

No. The report has already been prepared. So it won't influence anything.

But because no-one has told their story (with the exception of Charter), this will be the first we will hear a narrative from one of the characters inside Essendon.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Heard from semi-reliable people that snippets might make it to Seven News broadcast this evening.

It won't be 'explosive' in the sense it reveals everything, but am told there's enough there to implicate certain people in things.

Public response might have a bearing on the AFL punishment.

Won't effect any WADA and ASADA punishments.

 

[KAYNE]

I'm just disappointed they have got Luke Darcy to do it. Really should have got someone decent to do it, I know most of the questions were written for him.

 

[Great 2008]

I had wondered why he was being so quiet. (unless money was involved). He strikes me as a bloke who would come out swinging upon being used as an escapegoat by the Bombers early on. Looks like he is about to loosen his shoulders. Good times.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I imagine he will talk about previous employments as well

ASADA punishments

 

[Lance Uppercut]

$100k is some serious poppy

 

[Astro Bomber]

I imagine he will talk about previous employments as well

I hope Darcy goes there.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Also allusions to another team Essendon wanted to match physically, will that make it last the legal eagles?

 

[Oneiros]

$100k is some serious poppy

He-He-Hello!

Not bad for a sit-down.

 

[dmc333]

ZOMG he's being paid. Immediate discredit!

 

[mehow2g]

We won't learn anything new like always the truth won't come out until we here it from the horses mouth.

If this channel seven forget about it especially if darcy is the one doing the interview,this will simply be another money grabbing scheme.

What kind of facts are going to come from a hyped up story on national television.

I'm sure darcy will mention how brave and courageous the EFC has been he might even throw in I love how they go about it.

 

[The_Reaper]

Also allusions to another team Essendon wanted to match physically, will that make it last the legal eagles?

I'd be amazed.

It wouldn't be in Channel 7s best interest to bring up other clubs pre finals.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Darcy "Now Weapon can i call you that??"
Weapon - "Sure"
Darcy - "Ok Brian Taylor has said you once found a needle in a haystack could you share some light on this?"

 

[UpTheGuts]

Great call Lingy

 

[DEECEE]

Im tipping it will be a bit of a let down. No way will C7 open themselves up to any potential defamation suits by letting the weapon shoot his mouth off without evidence or right of reply. Will just be a lot of "assertions", and "innuendo". much like everything else to date.

Will be a lot of shit of how he has been treated unfairly by Essendon and caused nothing but grief for him and his family and will also say that Hird was aware of the program etc,etc.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

I'm always a little apprehensive when tell all interviews like these are 'paid for'. If Dean Robinson was unfairly treated by EFC then he will be justifiably compensated in due time. However, I just think some integrity is lost when you demand money to tell the general public your perception of the truth, even if it turns out to be 100% accurate.

If I felt I was unfairly treated and my name and character publically slandered, I think I would be happy to disclose information legally, to anyone who would be happy to listen.

 

[PieBeast]

Chances are it will mainly consist of him trying to clear his own name.
The stuff relating to Hird's culpability will be fairly vague.

Hoping to be wrong on this.

I agree, mud throwing in public without evidence, is probably not the best way to go about it.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

I imagine he will talk about previous employments as well

That would be interesting too.

 

[PoppedCorn]

lol at 'tell all interview'
yup tell us all heck all

as if any juicey gossip or facts are going to come out of this interview
not with official findings just around the corner
LD wouldve had all his questions written for him most likely and then they wouldve gone thru them all crossing out the questions he isnt allowed to ask

tell all story....pffft
