Hey, I was just passing by. It looked like fun, so I dropped in.

So I haven't been home yet, and the missus keeps texting to ask when I'm coming home. No biggie.
Just as I had a lot of fun barracking for your boys on Friday night. Loved seeing them stick it up the peptide pushers at *essendon.

And a personal favourite of mine nowadays is Roughy, because he BFNAAK.

Hey bitches, so whats your take on jimmy not rolling over for vlad... ?

Total nutter?

Freedom warrior?

Why would he do this?
Its Hanke - only way he knows how to fight is dirty. When he was working for Reith's office he used to call himself "filthy" (get it - filthy hanke?). I cannot believe Hirdy would seek out and employ a guy like that!!!

Here is the website of his company: http://www.agitating.com.au/index.html

They are certainly going on all out offensive on the defence. Drawbridge up, oil and archers to the battlements etc. The battle for the minds of the public is in full swing as is the battle for power within AFL circles. Hird is either ultra-confident that nothing untoward went on at *essendon or he is attempting to leverage a more favourable outcome via threats of litigation. But if nothing went on why are so many *essendon folk waking away or being sacked?

Hird is obviously being told that he is too big to go down and he probably believes that anyway but all the leaks point to him being central to this program. And why would the AFL and Vlad leak info that paints Hird in a bad light if they don't believe that the writing is on the wall already? There is no way that they would gun for Hird just because they can. Prior to this he was someone the AFL placed on a pedestal.

It was his go for broke attitude which made Workchoices as extreme as it was - in the end it made Howard unelectable. I can't see how taking on City Hall at this juncture can help poor Jimmy

Unless his team are manouvering for a change of balance of power in the upper levels of the AFL which will assist the club in their position I cannot see the point.

Attack the castle while the King is away in an attempt to alter the environment so upon his return there are assassins ready to knife him.

Everyone is jumping off his sinking ship - he may as well fiddle as the ship goes down. That little bit of music is all *essendon people have left before the inevitable.


Keep it nice and cheery to avoid panic.

The Commission are the creature of Dimmy B Tron - there is no way he will be pushed.

Perhaps he noticed that Hanke worked for Reith, and recognised a kindred spirit, in terms of personal integrity and respect for the truth.

Have been thoroughly enjoying the latter pages of this thread. Nice work everyone.

We must be getting close to blaming those stinking illegal queue jumpers who throw their children overboard.

Would fit the "Hanke" profile.

BTW wouldn't you think with what has happened *lord hird would have been a bit wary using someone with a name that more or less rhymes with Dank?

Game has changed.

PR now using the 'blaming the process' tactic. That's a last ditch, end game tactic.

This is Hird's final stand.

Very Custer-like.

Made even better by the fact that Custer's last stand was at Little Bighorn.

All those injections for Jimmy's little bighorn.

It's perfect.

General Custer-Hird. Or General James Custer****. There are so many possibilities.
