Why do they appear so disorganised?

Why does Essendon keep playing everything out in the media?

This is all being handled so poorly. They are trashing their brand. This will not go away.... we could have another 2 years of this whilst players are suspended and appeals had....

sigh...

I imagine Hird would sue for irrevocable loss of future income on the basis that his ability to earn anything near the amount he is on in the future is shot to pieces. This, of course, would be a huge amount of money. He does have strong legal people on his side.
I don't know that his legal team could be detailed as 'strong' at this moment. Expensive - sure, but I'm baffled that $20k a day QC led team would promote the notion to appeal to the high court. My only guess as to why Tird would end up appealing is that his legal mob have worked out he is un-hinged and they have just decided he is a 'Whale' to be fleeced.

Thought you guys would've been onto this by now.

Someone's talking to the media again.


http://m.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl...a-interim-report/story-fnp04d70-1227079584643

ESSENDON chief executive Xavier Campbell self-injected the artificial tanning drug Melanotan II during the 2012 season, according to ASADA’s interim report.

The confidential document states that an Essendon assistant coach gave the peptide to Campbell, who self-administered it.

The extract, seen by the Herald Sun, states: “Xavier Campbell injected himself with Melanotan II that was supplied by (an assistant coach).

“The use was based on a recommendation from (a club official). It is highly unlikely that the Melanotan II was medically prescribed for use by Mr Campbell”.

Smart enough to wait until AFL360 off season to write it as well. Robbo's got 6 months now to get over it.
You're right. When Robbo wakes up around midday and sobers up, Gerard's going to be on the wrong end of a hissy fit I'm thinking

I am celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo.

Imagine there's no heaven.

I don't know if you're loving somebody. To be a poet and not know the trade, to be a lover and repel all women. Twin ironies by which great saints are made, the agonising pincer-jaws of heaven.

If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue, walk with kings but not lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;

yours is the earth and everything that's in it and what's more, you'll be a man.

It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your breath away.
See you in court grizz for making my ears bleed and killing my brain cells.




lol jks, I'm not James Hird :p

I was just musing on the HTB that the reason James is so keen on getting the investigation ruled as unlawful is because of just what will be uncovered in his texts.

From Danny Weidler in April 2013.

"I have been through text message after text message between Dank and Essendon and make no mistake that Hird was more than just aware of what Dank was doing - he was a fan of it and a fan of the results.

At this point, I have been asked to hold fire on the exact details of the contents of the messages but they are detailed in the extreme, with names of players littered throughout the exchanges.

There are also numerous mentions of supplements and processes, which indicates that Hird will have to lay it all bare for ASADA when they meet."
