Hird and Dank will fix Harley's calves.

Getting a good laugh at the Dockers supporters suddenly all supportive of the drug cheating oxygen thief.

Harley's hammy is getting tight all of a sudden.

Didn't West Coast just give Cousins a job back at the club?

Huge difference between a dude abusing recreational drugs and a coach who sanctioned the systematic doping of an entire playing group. How any one can support this guy is beyond me. He will fit right in at your mob.

Dockers have made a job offer to James Hird

The Beast from the East.

I'd be watching my back if I were Lyon. Ambition and a willingness to flout both ethics and morality in order to succeed aren't the most desirable traits in an assistant, let alone one who's already got experience as a senior coach.

Seems like a fairly minor role and not really an assistant though.

I don't think that'd stop him, he sued Essendon. And forced them to let him see out his contract. That's Scaffidi-level not-knowing-when-to-quit.

Good call and it will be interesting to see the 2 biggest egos in football work together.

Actually 3 - you forgot Fyfe.

If he was your club champion you might even have a slight point. Hird is an opposition waste product. You’ve somehow managed to worsen your already poor culture. Have fun dealing with all the issues mate

 

[Boohemian]

So Freo fans condemn the club for enabling Ben, sweeping his recreational drug use under the carpet and essentially blaming West Coast for his addiction.

On the other hand, they also criticise the club for giving Ben a part time job to help him adhere to his conditions of parole and reintegrate into society.

Well which one is it going to be?

Party boy drugs vs Systematic Doper.

Yep, exactly the same thing.

 

[RookiePick]

I think that is the most amazing part of the Essendon scandal.

The spin doctors and media somehow seem to have got many people to think being a dickhead on the gear is the same as a systematic club wide doping program to try and win a flag.

 

[Fyfster]

The role is based on the east coast , He will have no contact with players only the coaching panel , I don't really want him associated with the club at all . But in this role would not affect things dramatically . As i said on our board he has not been appointed yet so i will keep my powder dry until it is confirmed . And i also agree bringing Cousins back into the fold at West coast and the Hird thing are totally unrelated . One systematically tried to cheat the system . The other was just a party boy with an addictive nature , And the club are trying to help him in his rehabilitation.

How dare you bring a reasoned and logical comment to our board wearing those colours!

Freo is a destination club don't ya know

no one does hypocrite like a freo flog

 

[avishka5]

Dark Sharks is this why you’re so swole?

 

[Bender_]

Should just go straight from the tap.

That there is - one is a helping and to an ex champ with health problems, the other opening the door to the biggest cheat in the history of AFL (who remains delusional unrepentant) a good fit culturally perhaps

Amazing isn't it - mind boggling is all I can say!

Yep. Sinclair and Aliir both done ankles today. Hanneberry and Grundy have calf injuries. Tippets gone.
