Brian Taylor interviewing Stephen Dank - given that BT thinks *Hird did nothing wrong and there were no drugs at *Essendon and it's all just an administrative mix up... looks like Dank has picked his patsy almost as well as Dean Robinson did.

Surely impossible to envision a more nauseating set up.

How about if BT is joined for the Dank interview by Dermie? That'd be more nauseating.
The problem there would be that Dank would get no chance to say anything. Dermie would waffle on incessantly about how good a footballer he was and his 5 day and 5 night premierships, while BT would simply talk about people kicking off their "wrong right" foot.

Hahaha, after another couple of pages talking about how irrelevant we are, complete with mandatory mega post from you know who about what peasants we are and how irrelevant we are, the Essendon mods have actually put a ban on their own supporters talking about us in their WE DIDN'T CHEAT HIRDY HAS THREE ANZAC DAY MEDALS AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT HIM MY UNDERPANTS PLACE GOES ALL TINGLY thread.

Has anyone else read the Good Weekend magazine in today's Age? "James Hird's life in exile"? I feel a little nauseous. Three pages of photos, praise from friends and fans, and lots of talk about wavy hair. No facts about the saga, nothing from the charge sheet, all approved by Tania. And a nice big headshot on the cover for fanbois to pin up on their walls.

Why would you subject yourself to that?

We're the most relevant irrelevant club you'll ever find. Who could have guessed a little thread could provoke so many Essendon tears? :oops:

Sadly yes and I found it so sickening I could only read the first bit of the artcile where it referred to *him as a *prince in exile and *sir *james.

I am feeling even worse now and off to the doctor to see if there is some remedy. I fear not though; only time and some ASADA infractions on the *cheats will fix me up.

Bullshit. No way a credible news provider would call him prince or sir.

Jane Cadzow. I'd have said I respected her work until today, but this article is too crap to be believed. My favourite bit was where she said it was only his big ears that stopped Hird being male model material. And her main quoted source is a "close friend" who - in a spooky coicidence - was a longtime Essendon fan who adored *Hird from the outer, until last year when he called him to offer his lawyerly services when he thought *James was being so badly treated.

It is truly sick-making. Apart from *Hird fans, I don't know who is it written for.

I expect to see all these *Hird apologists goose step to the lectern demanding equal exoneration for other notorious drug cheats such as Lance Armstrong, Ben Johnson, and Marion Jones.

I liked how the "close friend" was a bloke who he only knew since last April. I've known my tax accountant longer. The article was one-sided drivel. It begun at the view-point that *Hird hadn't done anything wrong and his suspension is unworthy simply because he accepted it begrudgingly just to keep everyone happy. It did not even entertain the idea that he accepted it because it was a sweet deal (basically one-year leave with pay) for a bloke who'd f****d up, got caught and couldn't wriggle out of it.

It is keeping everyone happy.

Pity it's not printed on soft gentle to the bum paper...
