mercedes is a lawyer?

but i get your drift

maybe tanya is modelling herself on Zarah Garde-Wilson

actually she has that alluring sort of look about her?

and then she opens her mouth and im just put off completely.

back to my pictures of steffi graff on the dairy wall.

But I don't recall any other club at the time saying they had received a generic warning call. I suspect AD was so keen to help Essendone and the AFL he didn't think to cover his bum by making 17 other calls.

Why would a club with nothing to worry about, talk about a generic call. If you received a call to say the ATO are going to nail anyone selling illegal cashew nuts, would you talk about it? Especially if the person with the warning said , you didn't hear it from me.

I reckon AD did say something, but he was trying to help. The Hirds are so self righteous that they think that hurting everyone else will distract from their own wrong doing.

So the baggage handlers injected the players?

every time the hirds have leaked something to the media,vlad and da boys have opened up another lunchbox against them.

so this latest grain from tang,will set another fire alight,cant wait for the response.

club turmoil ,club infighting,club may have EGM.i just love that its not us.

Don't disagree with last sentence. But the answer to your first sentence is because it was clear at the time that AD would be in trouble for only telling Essendon. So if the other 17 clubs had got a generic warning, it is hard to believe none of them would have issued a statement in defence of AD even if they were told initially 'you didnt hear it from me'. Or that no journo asked them.

Hird may have a gag to stop him talking to the media but not to a fan site. He also still has a lot of supporters at the club and fan sites usually carry a lot of fluff and may not be scrupiously monitored by the the top echelon. I just cannot believe anyone in control could have let such inflamitory and destabilising comment from Hird be broadcast at the start of the season.

AD it was on The Hanger, the club's own TV program, which was aired on Fox Footy... It had James Hird.... I think it would have needed sign of from legal and Little. From an Age article, "it was judged a success as it achieved Ess aim of formally bidding adieu to Hird until July.." "AD confirmed the Little had directly sought his permission for the club to conduct the Hird interview."

Dons Chief Marketing Officer also noted "very strict guidlines around what Hird can and can't do... we'vebeen very careful to have everything cleared with the AFL..."

Looks pretty clear cut to me.

So is Dank still talking at the Riddell Footy Lunch thing? its a little hard to get all the current info under my rock in Canberra.

What Tanya and James have recently said has virtually killed Hirds career. I also wonder if James interview on the fan site was sanctioned by the club. Little has said that recent comments have been unhelpful aluding to both Hirds. The timing of these comments appear to have a double effect of both destabilising the AFL and the club. I struggle to see what real outcome Tanya is looking for by her comments. The cynic in me tends to think that they are going to make a lot of noise and be serial pests for more financial gain. They may be looking for a fat payout to go quietly. Living in France is expensive.

So is living in Toorak!

All true. But with respect to the bolded sentence, isn't it odd that AD didn't feel obliged to call all of the clubs, but seemed to know which club needed warning. Assuming ASADA didn't tell him as you state, it must have been well known around the AFL that Essendon were up to no good.

Their so-called Doc would have been rubbed out by now if it wasn't for AD trying to help the club and then threatened with court. What a bunch of dirty ingrates.

AD has already stated they should have been more proactive re the EFC's on the edge supplements program based on what the AFL had heard. I think AD has performed well given the challenging circumstances. He has acted in the interest of the game.

Sue you may forgotten but for months prior to putting up their hands numerous journos had been contacting the EFC about remours about what was going on. The EFC threatened to sue if anyone went into print.

These same journos then contacted the AFL.

I remember when this first broke Gerard Healey said he had contacted the EFC and the AFL about the remours months before.

If The AFL where advised that a big meeting was coming up in a couple of days and it concerned an AFL and NRL club you would not need to be a rocket scientist at the AFL to work out it was the EFC.

The ACC have stated that they had not Told the AFL or AD that the club was the EFC prior to the EFC self admitting they had a problem.

So can we please stop trying to paint AD as a villain.

You are falling for the "Hird" propaganda.

Where?

McDonalds

Check out these prices for Paris apartments suitable for the Hird lifestyle. I dont think it is in their DNA to go slumming.

And again if I recall correctly AD and AFL house had raised concerns in the year prior to the story breaking of there concern about the sports scientists taking over from the Doctors at the club and they had major concerns.

If little and the Bummers dont cut Hird loose they deserve everything they get. Hird is a cmplete liability. The problem for the Club is Hird will take them to the cleaners. He professes love for the club then does the exact opposite unless you accept his delusion that what is good for Hirdy is good for the club.

Even IF AD had actually 'forewarned' Essendon, I don't understand why Tania Hird is complaining about something that was to their advantage

I like Tanya's quotes that "we were told at a time when we shouldn't been told that". Squeeeeeeel' squeeeel like a pig.

She was told, she took copius notes. Who else has their wife run their life like that? Its none of her freaking business.

You have your chin stuck out with that one jnr.

Surely you understate - should read "I am the AFL....(or maybe the world or the universe)"

. Surely Little is part of that group.

Essendone - love it.

J Hird: "I am Essendon at this stage..."

Surely you understate - should read "I am the AFL....(or maybe the world or the universe)"

ABC news, Little & Eddie Everywhere:

Asked on whether Hird's tenure with Essendon was becoming untenable, Little said: "Up until the events of the last 24 hours we believed that James was acting and responding to our requests in a positive way.

"The club will need to meet now Eddie to determine how we go forward in relation to the James Hird issue and probably the broader group that surround James."

. Surely Little is part of that group.

But I don't recall any other club at the time saying they had received a generic warning call. I suspect AD was so keen to help Essendone and the AFL he didn't think to cover his bum by making 17 other calls.

Essendone - love it..........though maybe Essundone may be even better

Gosh one has to be careful what one posts. I am in no way falling for the Hird propaganda. I was responding to another post in saying "it must have been well known in AFL circles" ie. it was true even if there was no other evidence that you have listed to suggest it.

I don't see AD as the villain. Though I think he would have been wise to advise all clubs that ASADA was about to drop a bombshell to completly protect his bum from any accusations such as have been made by Hird. I thought it was clear from my posts that he is being crucified by Essendone despite his trying to protect them.

if the bummers cut hird loose, does that mean james won't be able to deliver his "reward" to the supporters?

That would be his "reward" to the faithful.
