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



Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

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?

I don't think anyone wants to go there. If he did do the good stuff he would be one of quite a few. Best stick to the club orchestrated systematic abuse rather than go for wildcat individuals. Edited by america de cali

Hird was one of the finest players I've ever seen. In a period when Voss and Buckley were at their peak, I thought he was a standout. I won't let his despicable behaviour blot out that memory.

You've got to love Robbo's complete objectivity.

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

As I said it was a placebo, it had no scientific support of its efficacy.

Yes it damaged Brock's reputation but nothing like what Hird is doing to his through cheating, lying and totally disregarding the well being of players and his club.

It was all new age kookiness that did no harm.

Even the Hird haters would admit he has mettle.

If by mettle he means narcasistic sociopath that will destroy everything he professes to love rather than admit (to even himself) that he stuffed up bigtime.

Then yeah, he's got mettle like no other.

Time for some objectivity, he was using Charter to improve his performance when he won the Brownlow. He was using unapproved drugs while coaching. I think his state of mind and actions since seriously put in doubt his playing performances. He has probably been a cheat for a long time.

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."

Yes and so did Lance Armstrong.

"I am requesting expedition of this appeal and will not ask for a stay of the notices. The players and ASADA will be able to continue with the show cause process whilst a full court deals with the legality of the investigation.

So what's the point?

Ah well, itll provide entertainment

I would expect ASADA to wait until all avenues of appeal have passed as they previously stated.

probably trying to set a trap or 'catch-22' for ASADA!

if ASADA can't/don't procede with SCN's well the delay isn't his fault is it...

So, he can continue to believe his own BS

Thus wasting more and more time thus providing Essendon with what they hope is a unhindered start to season 2015.

Arrogant toss pot of the highest order!

More and more damage will come as a result of this stalling tactic . Will this club survive another direct hit on its integrity??

A likely scenario but that won't stop ASADA dealing with the individual players who wish to co-operate. Edited by america de cali

Does anyone honestly now believe that he never took PED's during his career?

Like Armstrong, this bloke is a fraud.

Remembering that during his career the testing for PED's was at the lower end of the scale - it would have been possible for any footballer to take whatever they liked (within reason)

Many of the PED's that were available back then could only be tested for with blood tests and even then they had to know what they were looking for.

There's also a very good chance that he wasn't tested for drugs very often ... the following article is from 2007 ...

Athletics runs rings around AFL

"Lip service, nothing but lip service," Bideau said. "Do they actually want to catch anyone?

"The testing we undergo (in athletics) is an invasion of your life, and if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes."

Hird Gone: No surprise: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/james-hird-removed-as-essendon-coach-20141002-10p3bn.html#ixzz3EwsvdNtu

The club has loaded its shotgun: '...Should a legal battle go ahead with Hird, the club has engaged its queens' counsel Neil Young to represent it. The Bombers remain determined to avoid a wrongful dismissal action from the Hirds...'
Interesting to note Hirds - plural!!
Footnote: another scoop missed by Hird's bestie; Robbo

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
