What did #AFL coach James Hird know of Essendon's supplement program? @caromeldrum reports on #abc730 tonight...

ripping off jenny
meldrum hanna has some form

In Dank's first interview he said this:

"Because we were going on a program we had never been on before, we were going into some of the supplements that were taken ... so we asked for a consent form so that WADA and the AFL doping code would make sure that it was ticked off and that it was in the regulations.
"The players got that form in the doctors' ... Dr Bruce Reid, who's been with the club 30 years, and everyone knew that this had been ticked off and if you were comfortable with what you were taking - which we were - because it was within the rules. The doctors told us it was fine (so) we signed it.

Why would the players request the forms and then have to be asked to sign them?

From what Darcy has let out, the anti Hird mob will be squirming in their seats and may need a panadol or two.

you just made that up

 

[Defacto]

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?"

you forgot the next bit

Hird: did you say needle? can we use it on our players?

 

[Magruder]

I'll be interested to hear his version of events.

It is such a pity Luke Darcy is doing the interview. Surely Ch7 could cough up an experienced journo for an interview costing a supposed $100k

Or just a journalist.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

you just made that up

The Seven commentator refused to be drawn on whether current coach James Hird, or any players, would face consequences once the report was handed down.

He did, however, suggest that those who had prejudged people at the Bombers may regret it.

"There's been a lot of running commentary on various things and I think people might regret some of the things people have said along the way about wanting people's Brownlows stripped and judging certain people," Darcy said.

 

[Magruder]

Lance, if brownlows and norm smith medals, and premiership flags were at stake, and you know my belief on this, do you think the average bootyfig poster would have their eyes awakened? I would say no. Then we would truly have the foamers at the stake, baying for burnt flesh.

Worth a like just for "bootyfig"

I reckon the conclusion darcy wants every to be draw is that despite everything Hitd is a good guy

And let's face it, people have been saying some nasty things about hird.

Post edit: looks like he is sticking up for the weapon

Darcy is best to be the Bryan Dawe to Mcguires king John Clarke. anything else is above his station. I am a big fan of the way Luke Darcy goes about his work. I have loads of respect for the character of Luke Darcy.
an FM radio intellect. big respect for the way he goes about it.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

AAAWWW. the Weapon weeps.

So we can believe everything up to the tears and nothing afterwards.

 

[Bombfire]

Looking forward to hearing about black ops

You do realize he's making that up. Don't you?

 

[LanceRomance]

You do realize he's making that up. Don't you?

How do you know that?

 

[Bubbalicious]

How do you know that?

He is just being an Essendon tossbot..

 

[Bombfire]

How do you know that?

You don't believe Darcy- why would you believe The Weapon?

 

[ScreenDoorSlams]

I am disappoint.

Nobody's done the Call of Duty Photoshop yet ?

 

[Bombfire]

AAAWWW. the Weapon weeps.

The Weapon weeps, meanwhile Hirdy soldiers on coaching EFC under enormous stress. Full credit to him.

 

[LanceRomance]

You don't believe Darcy- why would you believe The Weapon?

I never said I don't believe darcy

 

[Chameleon75]

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.

Underrated.

 

[Jimthegreat]

You don't believe Darcy- why would you believe The Weapon?

Well sue him. Bet they don't .

It was a pile of testimony from fellow drugs cheats that brought Lance Armstrong down.

 

[Bombfire]

I never said I don't believe darcy

Well who do you believe-make up your mind.

 

[Chameleon75]

As always, ask yourself what his motive is.

He wont help himself for another gig, so this is basically for the cash.

Means the incentive is to focus on as much dirt as possible, because C7 would not have agreed to $100k without knowing what they are getting.

For me, the two questions I expect a fair bit of dubiousness on will be his personal involvement in running the program (I'm assuming it will be "I was just along for the ride because Dank/Hird/Jebus forced me to do it"), and of course how much Hird knew (for a $100k you say "he knew everything" regardless)

If it was a journo doing this, I'd expect those answers to be worked around by good questioning and the journo setting him up for the trap.

Its Darcy though, a giant dumb arse bogan moron, so expectations are low.

Hopefully someone is feeding him the questions, and he is just Sooty with a hand up his arse

My guess is that the asada report won't be kind to him so he's getting on the front foot.

 

[LanceRomance]

Well who do you believe-make up your mind.

I don't know who to believe but I am highly suspicious of the exotic supplement program that went on at Essendon last year.

 

[Bombfire]

Well sue him. Bet they don't .

The lawyers are being suited up as we speak.
