I don't doubt there were people at the AFL who didn't want the truth to come out. Of course they were trying to manipulate the outcome and bring out the truth that suited them, because that's what they do. But I don't think anyone needs a moral lecture from the only person in the whole sorry saga to go to court to suppress the investigation and have evidence ruled inadmissable on a technicality.

He is mad that the AFL's solution saw him as expendable, and far less important than the players playing and the competition continuing with minimal disruption. And he has the opposite view. We all get that. But he needs to choose to either move on or speak up - this self-serving hinting business is very, very old.
Spot on, HtoH :thumbsu:

Essendon Senior Coach James Hird suffered a heavy fall from his bicycle while riding home from training this afternoon.

Club Doctor Bruce Reid said James was taken by ambulance to Hospital for assessment.

“James was very fortunate he was wearing a helmet which has braced his fall,” Reid said.

“He has suffered severe concussion however X-rays have cleared him of any fractures.”

“James will remain in hospital for ongoing observation and following a review we hope he will be discharged soon.”

The Club will provide a further update tomorrow.

If Saturday morning cartoons have taught me anything - and they have - is that a strong blow to the head creates amnesia, but a second blow restores all memories.

I therefore assume given *Hird's amnesiac state over the last two years, this smack on the head will have restored all memories of the 2012 PED program, such that he can now tell us exactly what drugs were given to whom.

It's a massive breakthrough in the case.

I feel like we've been harsh on Hirdy. He's clearly no Lance Armstrong if his bike riding skills are anything to go by ;)
Okayyy no but seriously I hope he recovers by Friday just in time to his his team get belted! Get well soon *Hirdy.
