I could not believe that Hird thought his legal cover would include him taking action. He said the action was reasonable and he had advice from senior and junior counsel to that effect. The EFC ad the same advice. Pity the Federal Court and the Full Federal Court held a different opinion, with Hird's counsel saying he still had strong grounds of appeal to the High Court.

Reported in the AGE
'Chubb had denied liability, in a letter dated April 12, 2015, to indemnify Hird for his trial and appeal costs on the grounds that the policy did not cover Hird for pursuing legal proceedings as a claimant; and his legal costs were not reasonably incurred.'
I could not have stated it better myself. Hird remains a fool, but is now a poor fool.

So James is rationale is if I bring a legal action and if I fail I sue my employers insurance company for my costs. Clearly its all about James

I suspect he's trying to get sacked so he gets paid out for next year - the true team man is James

So hope he loses his case and has to fork out the full costs plus.....the guy and his ego has become a complete cancer on the game!

So GWS are the finals contender that get stuck with a Sunday game, and we get Channel 7 coverage... I like it.

Perhaps we could swap with GWS? or better still with Collingwood.

It's funny how when ever you get the radio on the vibe is all negative about the AFL. Funny enough previous to the Essendon saga the AFL was on top of the world. Hird is completely oblivious to the fact he has damaged the fabric of something so many people love and he doesn't have the grace to get out of our faces. He's like junky that financially ruined his family and now continues to live with them demanding more of every thing for himself so his lifestyle doesn't suffer. He's a disgrace and should be sacked. Essendon should spill all positions as a show of contrition and start again.

Yeah, don't understand this one bit, can't we just move on? It's a competition.

Barrels · Aug 5, 2015

It's the brave new world in which we live Rahul. Everyone is so damn scared at the merest prospect of being criticised for not 'doing enough' that we get this kind of saccharine farce.

Ugh. Let's all move on. Please.

Racism gayness misogyny, multi culture, what next? Any chance we can leave the social terrorism for Twitter and just enjoy our football.

Periphery · Aug 6, 2015

ITT people somehow think Football is completely separate from society.

Me and my extended family are going to begin to lobby the AFL for a "Convict Ancestry Round", we feel left out.

Wasn't Nicky Dal on the Footy Show panel last week with Joey? Funny to see BJ there this week with Armo. Who will we have next week, McEvoy and Chips?

Seems like every week there's at least one Saint or ex-Saint.

I know, wasn't complaining, just remarking about how strange it is.

I love the Saints boys getting stuck into Derm, who has been one of our biggest criticisers since Watters was given the flick

Saw those tweets, what was Dermie rambling on about?

hayes · Aug 7, 2015

Have to love 36 players in one half of the ground. Footy at its absolute best.

sverik25 · Aug 7, 2015

This game has been genuinely hard to watch. Starting to actually consider that a rule change like zones may be best for the game going forward. There are just too many ugly games at the moment.

SaintLex · Aug 7, 2015

Another day another tip ruined by Richmond

L_W_P · Aug 7, 2015

If the Bulldogs can steal 4th spot they feel like a genuine chance of upsetting Freo. The irressistable force meeting the immovable object. Freo fans would have to feel nervous, much like we did in 2008-2010 despite our domination.

Teams with that "X Factor" are hard to control for 120 minutes.

Adelaide now primed for a home final as well.

Freo v Bulldogs
WCE v Hawthorn
Sydney v GWS*
Adelaide v Richmond

What a finals series that would setup!!

*Might be North or Geelong but GWS have a very soft run home.
