Hirdy on ABC interview

[Tiger_4_Life]

Now its Hirds fault Tracey didn't ask enough hard questions. lol. Clowns.

No, I believe it's Tracey's fault that she accepted a very compromised and scripted interview.

 

[Run and carry]

Interview was dissapointing, didn't delve into the really interesting detail:
- who at the club was most responsible? Discuss names and levels of responsibility.
- What were the breaches of protocol he mentioned?
- how does Hird believe the AFL tried to make him their scalp?
- Which commissioner told him we'd have to prove our innocence?
- Didn't touch on the role of the media at all.

Think time was a big factor, one hour was nowhere near sufficient.

Tried very hard to make it about the players but he nearly instantly teared up when he mentioned the toll on his family - hope this does something to debunk the sociopath myth.

Yeah I was surprised that the media weren't brought up at all considering the savaging he has had from some in the media and how they have shaped perceptions. They have been a big player in all of it, obviously.

Hird "There was nothing in it for Danks to dope the players!!! Why would he do it?"

James, it's called stupidity. There was a **** up. Dank made a colossal mistake. I cannot believe that the diet-ABC reporter failed to make reference to the smoking gun - and it's direct from the horse's mouth itself:

Where was I? Out with the lovely partner having Korean.

An infinitely better use of my time.

1. Have dinner with the Mrs listening to here whinge about things... or
2. Have a beer watch the Hirdy interview.

Only psychopaths choose option 1.

This thread has the potential to become an extension of the foamer board.

She's not the whinging type.

What.. Are you kidding me..

The interview touched on most things you'd expect - problem was no follow up to the responses that were begging for further investigation - I imagine this was due to time constraints.

If you want to believe the whole thing was a PR stunt then go ahead...

What did DapperJong cook?

She has publicly stated it was nothing of the sort - you belive she's lying?

 

[Runk]

What did DapperJong cook?

Dog? It's a delicacy they reckon?!?!

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Absolutely... There would at very least have been a run down of what she can and can't ask. Regardless that interview was as poor as it was predictable.

Agreed.
Take it to the ASADA thread/elsewhere on the site.
