Mutli quotes.. good to hear! I donhope the Dons (read Little/Hird) hubris has pushed them to this point and it all comes out in a court of law/media.

I have a distinct sensation that this outcome MUST NOT/cannot /WILL NOT be allowed to happen.

It is imperative that these matters are never explored and allowed to be cross-examined.

Wise heads will give their advice.

Settlement will be reached.

It's just about price.

Agree totally, 100% will not see the light of day. Little, et al have a number in mind and once they hit it will settle.

Doesn't mean I don't want the laundry aired.

So few of the golden boy's fellow coaches turned up for the meeting that it could have been conducted in a telephone box but there was plenty leaked to Caro. The source was not notes taken by Mrs. Hird ~ When James Hird caught up with a few of his fellow senior coaches

Hird continues his delusional stance maintaining he's only a pawn in a much bigger game.

the thing they forget about whilst they continue to be unhappy with the AFL and ASADA is that they caused the problems by injecting their players with unknown substances.

the end

The Bombers argue that Robinson, paid $290,000 a year plus about an extra $30,000 from club sponsors, was responsible for the club recruiting Stephen Dank something Robinson has denied and for ensuring a safe and legal supplements program.

sooooo

the bombers sacked him for recruiting the guy who ran an unsafe and illegal supplements program, and for not ensuring that program was safe and legal.

BUT

they ran a safe and legal supplements program (according to them)

therefore;

either he was unfairly dismissed (because the program was safe and legal) or they ran a dodgy program.

You would think so but maybe Robinson really does want his day in court.

Can't see it happening either but it would be the only way we will get close to the truth.

I truly hope this goes all the way.

Robinson would have to be a member that extremely rare breed of humanity that values reputation and good name above reputation and family financial security.

If Robinson is successful...another $2M goes out of the Bombers bank account......Karma.....got to love it!

I think they will pay him close to $2mill to keep him out of court.

They're trying to get away with not paying that much money but you can guarantee that an undisclosed settlement will happen and when it does you can also guarantee he will be getting close or right on his $2mill. Robinson knows they can't afford for everything to come out into the open.

Catching up on the week's reading and found this gem from Patrick Smith who's keeping up the attack on Tird:-

Essendon owes Hird zilch but Bomber deserves whole lot better

... the problem that confronts Essendon and Little is that appointing Hird will not put an end to the ASADA drama. With Hird leading the club the trauma, the headlines and suspicions will never disappear. To get rid of Hird will cost the club many millions. But that money must be raised from someone or somewhere. Hird must be paid out and moved on.

The club might owe him contract money but through his behaviour since this story broke in February last year they owe absolutely nothing else. The Hird era at Essendon must come to an end. For the sake of the club itself.

i love the article in the Herald Sun where Goddard is stating its unethical for other clubs to go after contracted essendon players. What universe do these people live in where everything they do including going after mitch clarke and feeding their own players unknown substances is ethical but others talking to their player is not.

Unethical? like the use of performance enhancing drugs... or when your day comes to answer the show cause notices going straight to court to get off on a technicality... or re-hiring the senior coach who oversaw the whole situation and has not shown a sign of remorse... should I keep going?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
