No chance in hell in Hird would have brought the Weapon and Dank to Essendon that was all Bomber as the other poster mentioned Hird would have most likely just went along with it in what he thought that will bring succes to the club.
Hird had already worked with Charters though.

And Hirdy was very keen on all the peptide stuff before.

wow just looked it up, surprised me. Cocaine's half life is about 30 minutes to an hour. Meth it is up to 10 hours... wowzers. Glad i've never touched meth then based on that. I actually thought Meth was the same as coke and you could sleep it off.
That's what the Xanax is for.

I remember when the most outrageous thing Mark Thompson had done was eat a sandwich in the coach's box during a game.

Youngsters might not recall but that led the news for two weeks straight and was mentioned in Parliament. They almost called a Royal Commission to inquire into it, but the Coalition blocked it in the Senate. It was a massive deal.

$10k a week sounds about right. plus all the gear you need like Valium to come down probably adds a bit too.

Lets say had 5mill in the bank after his property deal, which was 2015. Half to the wife. His burn rate would be 500k a year just on the gear. So he'd have spent around $1m so far. Could easily have used up his cash reserves.
I know this is just speculation but **** that is a lot of money on drugs.

I can't believe it. Only saw this thread title while scanning the AFL one. First thoughts were it was rehashed but the wiser part knew it was something new. Very disappointing. At the end of the day no matter how old we are we're all human and can be impacted by things, make poor choices and succumb to addiction. However to go from what he's did in his life on and off the sporting field to this, it's pretty shameful and disappointing.

Embarrassing.

Yeah, I know, which in and of itself can be explained, but if a print also shows up, or his DNA is the only DNA on those packages, and the other blokes are pleading not guilty, then he is in more shit than a Werribee duck.

There would be an absolute minimum of 5 years jail time on these charges.
He's not even been arrested.
Based on the little I have seen presented, he is very, very, very close to it.

He's also not in the country so that may makes arresting him problematic.

There's already two to three solid elements in place to lay charges and if charges are laid then he is off to the remand centre.

I'm well aware 34 Essendon players were banned for taking banned supplements.

I'm not quite sure what exciting new revelations Bomber's arrest for drug trafficking brings to the table though.
I can’t make it any clearer for you. Sorry, but i just can’t.

As much as I love Bomber it's true if it wern't for Bomber the drug saga wouldn't have happened and Hird might have still been coach.
Nothing can excuse Essendon appointing Hird as coach, untried, untested, whose only coaching experience was his daughter's junior team.

Knights appointment - wrong choice, Hardwick was the obvious candidate
Knights extension - terrible, unforgivable
Hird appointment - very poor business decision
Hird extension - poor choice, but perhaps we had to to protect the club

Robbo had an apocalyptic melt down on 360 when Sicily got a week for standing on atleys leg... im sure he will be just as "outraged" on this topic tonite..... surely....
Slobbo will pretty much be pissed off his brain tonight. Probably 18 beers in and 2 packs of winnie blues.

Makes you think -

After his warehouse was raided, any normal bloke with half a brain would have thought time to lay low for a bit, too much exposure.

Instead they moved into his personal home. I think he is involved with some serious heavies there. No backing out now.

Lets break this down shall we;

A brave, innocent, hounded man, long rumoured to be on the coke (half of bigfooty would have heard that one over the years), just so happens to rent part of his property where he is/was living to a couple of tattoo covered bikies, one going by the name 'bang bang', who also just so happen to have a commercial quantity of drug/s sitting in a kitchen draw.

Yeah right. But after seeing the level of denial shown by the Essendon fan base during the doping fiasco, I'd bet money on them actually believing that Bomber has been caught up in a conspiracy concocted by the AFL, Asada, Vic Police, the Rebels, Dank and Hirdy.
I told you guys didn't I?

An innocent man hounded by the authorities because he was too trusting of the wrong people, and now has to face an undeserved public witch hunt even though he's done almost nothing wrong. Seems to be a recurring situation in his life. Hopefully - unlike his former employer - this brave man doesn't get found guilty of something he didn't do.
Yeezus, you must stand outside Windy Hill and give a suggestive look to every Don's player or official that walks past
