Why are all the pro-Hird faction (media and legal associates) not heeding their own advice and leaving Hird and his family alone? The critics of Hird have not said a peep since the latest unfortunate turn of events - they are holding up their end of the bargain.
Some of these pro-Hirdites had fully formed and ready to print articles already released while James was still in hospital on a drip. Lawyers representing him had soundbites already released for mass consumption barely 24 hours after the story broke. Incidentally, how did the story break? It wasn't as if James had a Cousins-esque breakdown in the middle of a busy freeway.
He and his family should be left the hell alone and not be reported on at all, much like the preceding 12 months or so where he was completely left alone by the media. The AFL have no business feeding the news cycle and duly haven't done so, and they are being criticised for it? Mind-boggling.
