Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>

Featured Replies

Could someone enlighten James Hird and me as to at what point this becomes all about the players?

The what?

James Hird has a reputation to protect! Priorities!!

 

Hird has gone rogue, and must be cut loose and shot down (not literally).

I think finally the delusional EFC supporters will start to see him for what he is, a self obsessed narcissistic mad man who couldn't give a damn about anyone other than himself.

Goodbye James, its is the day to cut both James loose. Fry in your own fat.

There is some fracturing on Bomberblitz but still plenty living in delusion-land.

Looks like he will kamikaze his reputation further, a bit like flying his bomber jet vertically into the Windy Hill turf!


Just reported that Jason Winderlich wants to play on, but not at Essendon

LOL

So he didnt really retire, just wanted to get the F out like Paddy

More players will follow youd think

What, given the Clark precedent, is to stop EFC players from retiring then going to the club of their choice.

What a can of worms has been opened.

The perceived reputation that he is an arrogant selfish narcissist will become unimpeachable now.

Quote from the H-S sums it up IMO

" Addressing the packed function, Bombers chairman Paul Little called on all Essendon supporters to “accept the Federal Court’s decision and move on”.

He forgot that Jacques is a Jacques supporter ahead of any allegiances to EFC.

 

I think it was wall nuts R&B

That sounds more like it, OD. Nuts! :-)

Somehow I dont think he has anything left to pull, and since when has he ever thought of anyone else other than himself! So why start now?


These days are coming to an end!

The Peter Brock car energiser,It was a secret machine with wires and stuff.{cost peter his reputation}

Some would say he never recovered it either jazza.

I think JH's reputation will be in a worse place for the rest of his days.

When Tania's notes say so? :-)

Here is a quote from Robbo's latest piece of puke on Hird. Have a bucket ready before you read. Certainly studied at the Goebbel's school of propaganda he did.

"is charging on for himself, his family, the players and the club, knowing that hes probably sacrificing his career.

Certainly, he is defiant.

Clearly, be believes that principle is more important than coaching.

Even the Hird haters would admit he has mettle.

And what happens if he wins the appeal, and the show cause notices disappear?

The Bombers would be slapping themselves on the back, and the bloke who didnt blink would have lost his job for saving the club."

Two associates of mine have had some dealings with Hird on a business level.

Both of these hard nosed business men have described him as the most arrogant and self centred individual they have ever ever had to deal with in sport!

Says plenty about the reality of this whole sordid mess.

Hird doesn't give a toss about the club or more importantly about the players, it is and always has been about saving a now abysmal reputation.

Hope his paper glider has fun in the hurricane he has created!

No comparison, the polariser was a placebo, it worked if you believed it, no harm done. NOT ILLEGAL

That is nothing like cheating, lying, denying the facts and hiding the evidence. Peter Brock was a saint compared to Hird, and I think PB was a prlk

Thanks for that adc I read it earlier today and was doing my best to forget it.

sadly all that was handy was the waste paper bin.


Tim Watson quoted in The Age:

"I think what they do want is do want him not to appeal," Watson said. "He is strongly of the view that the best thing for the players is for him to appeal. You've got to secretly admire him for his guts and stance."

However, Watson outlined that he would advise his 1993 premiership teammate to cease his action now. "I would say not to appeal," he said. "I can't see what the upside would be."

I don't understand Tim's point of view. The best thing for the players is for Hird to appeal, but there is no upside?

How is it the best thing if it has no upside?

Anyone shed some light on this for me?

The energy polariser was a plastic crystal intended to channel negative energy of the cabin into the engine for improved performance. More Brett Kirk than Steven Dank, but was enough of a problem for Holden to see the Ea Falcon Brock released

Wow, I was really expecting this to be the end of the Robbo/Hird love affair but he's almost as blind as James himself!

How can he not see that Hird is doing more damage than good to the club he claims to love?

He is saying that HIRD thinks the best thing for the players is to appeal

I still find it hard to believe that no one is starting to question his playing career.

He had links with charter who sourced the drugs from china for dank

he clearly has experience with "the good stuff", otherwise why would he be recommending it for his entire list?

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
