Martin Hardie's Performance

[rdhopkins2]

How do we rate Martin Hardie during this saga?

He did say that Essendon would certainly win the case; correct with the AFL tribunal but couldn't have hit it more wrong with WADA at CAS.

He was rather vocal for a time but gradually seemed to paddle away in to the sunset.

Irrelevant? As he was throughout (apart from the minor entertainment factor).

As a general rule, as the pantomime wore on, I tended to discount those who made definitive statements where they could not possibly know. The best commentary came from those who asked questions, and expressed scepticism, rather than those who professed to know. Those who actually "know" (or at least know part of the puzzle) have either not said anything or have spoken in riddles or have made strings of inconsistent and unconvincing statements.

Got upset at me on Twitter when I said he backed the wrong horse and he sent me a link to some 500 page PDF that I'll never read, so there's that.

Bring back the user Merton Hordie, or however it was spelled.

Interesting they asked him for comment about whether Jobe Watson's brownlow should be stripped, I know he's a medallist himself but not sure why he was singled out.

 

[spenze]

He's been consistent throughout this saga, I'll give him that.

Sadly it was consistently ******* delusional

 

[Thrawn]

Didn't he write the consent forms?

Who for, Stevie Milne?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The only good thing he did was awaken me to the world of the "Seakayaker".

 

[evo]

Not much of lawyer - or for that matter a thinker - but he's a hellluva sea kayaker

 

[The 747]

Above Bruce Francis, below Richard Ings on the make a name for yourself out of this scale.

 

[FFC_RoyBoys]

A minor s**t stain of some annoyance but no real consequence.

 

[base615]

Who for, Stevie Milne?

Certainly indicative of his level of competence if he did.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Say what?

 

[Randomizor]

Say what?

Gee and he told me off for the horse analogies

 

[FootyGeek]

The best part was reading about his spat with Bruce.

It was comedy gold.

Two nincompoops fighting over a poisoned chalice.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Did well to fleece the Essendon faithful for $20k for his tell all book Black Optics coming to a book store sometime this Millennium

 

[GarnerSmash]

Gotta love his staff profile, no doubt written by himself.

He spends his time with the ambition of becoming the archetype of life within communism; at the break of dawn a golfer travelling the links, during the day a teacher and a cook, cyber-conspiracist and correspondent, in the afternoons a student and philosopher and, at nights, simply pleasant company.

Kind of like a cross between Kwai Chang Caine in Kung Fu, Tiger Woods, Anthony Bordaine, Plato, Julian Assange and Stephen Fry.


Just with a generous serve of narcissistic w***er thrown in for good measure, which he probs got from watching Jimmah.

 

[jerry springer]

The saddest part of this whole saga was that it gave the chance for dickheads like hardie and Ings to jump on a soapbox.

Both absolute Muppets

 

[coryne]

Main thing Hardie has done during the saga is turn students off law degrees through Deakin .......

 

[DeadJake]

Comic gold. He and Bruce Francis are the best comedy duo since Fry & Laurie.

 

[blackcat]

The only good thing he did was awaken me to the world of the "Seakayaker".

is this a euphemism? has Chief, he of unmatched wisdom changed the swear filter from political campaigner?

 

[gutsroy]

I'm just here to repost the Venn diagram that was deleted when all I was trying to do was highlight what a unique quadruple threat he is:

 

[STFU Donnie]

He spends his time with the ambition of becoming the archetype of life within communism; at the break of dawn a golfer travelling the links, during the day a teacher and a cook, cyber-conspiracist and correspondent, in the afternoons a student and philosopher and, at nights, simply pleasant company.

And at all times a complete f_ckwit.


This is from the wonderful The Thick Of It. I can't distinguish between Martin Hardie and Stewart Pearson.
