Looks like the domino effect may be kicking in now. Today was an absolute disaster for the bummers and if people were wondering whose fight Hird was fighting I think was made much clearer for them after today.
Mistruths, technicalities and the James Hird way

"The AFL has our board bent over - and they have managed to convince them to destroy the glue which kept this club together for the saga - Hird. I have posted this a few times during the saga."

That's proper straight jacket stuff.

haha.


Here they go.

'wants a less uncertain environment'

Well you can chalk this one up to the board, it's certainly not on Hird's head

Read that as: Either back HIrd 100% or tell him to glory be off..

Not have it 'under review' every second day..

Board is killing this club one player at a time. Need urgent EGM and spill.

I feel sorry for Ray Gunston this past week.

1. He sees his son play in another premiership and establish himself as one of the top players in the AFL.

2. He sees Essendon melt into a pile of steaming dogsh*t.

If he had the good sense to support Hawthorn this would be a good week :)

Whichever way one looks at this saga Hird has pretty much made himself unemployable which means his compo claim against the club and potentially the AFL will be phenomenal.
Essendon need to sack him, get sued, table everything in court. They are already screwed. Call his bluff. This will never end for them otherwise.

I'll bet that Hird will get hurt as much as, or more than, the club if he decides to spill the beans.

For the life of me I can't imagine why he's investing so much money, time and angst at fighting ASADA in court unless there is some very serious sh*t about to hit the fan.

His original court action was called a hail Mary by most legal people. The general consensus is that he has even less chance of winning this appeal. It's weird to think he must reckon he has more chance beating ASADA with this action than by actually fighting their evidence at the tribunal. Weird, and the actions of a desperate man.

Go back a page or two and see what I copied over from the Bomber board in regards to "trafficking".

There's your reason James is trying to have the investigation squashed.

Those bombers left their hearts to Hird, Dank and Robinson
And their soul was sold with Thymosin to the blackmarket man
They've had Vietnam pig brain
Runnin' deep through their veins
And it's only Hirdy who could understand

About the long forgotten back-room guarantees
How there'd be no ASADA issues from two-zero-one-three (2013)
How the players signed their consent form
They'd been wronged by Hirdy but that was still yet to dawn
They were fined, and he was off to the European land

And the fans were so alike from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they got back their chosen one
And their legs were often open
But their minds were always closed
And their hearts were held in James Hird's hands
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypacket lean
And the telex writers clattered where Dank had once had been
But the BigFooty boards made them jumpy
Yet they never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for reassurance and Robbo's newsfeed

So they worked across Melbourne end to end
Tried to find comfort in each other, where #standbyhird could stand
Held a full-time job being ignorant
Taking notes when they could
But the media nearly drove them round the bend

And their minds have wondered about ASADA from year to year
And each one found Hird aimless, one more year the worse for wear
And they've seen a few get the sack
But the answer sure ain't there
Time to see what Bomber's doin', to check if he still wants to coach again

You know the last plane out of Essendon's almost gone
Only a few ****ing short hours, and the players will no longer belong
There ain't nothing like these stitches
From laughin' bout their dwindling riches
Cause they'll be looking for players all night long

Well the last player out of Essendon's almost gone
Yeah the last player out of Essendon's almost gone
It's really hasn't got me worried
Hirdy's goin' nowhere and he's in no hurry
And the last player out of Essendon's almost gone
