Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

 

Oh no but he went on oath 18 months later to say that he didn't mean any of that stuff and was 'forced' to say it.

Do you think a court will believe James Tird would be 'forced' to say anything? The slime does what he wants, whenever he wants,

No. I think Hird is telling the truth when he says he was forced to lie about wanting the truth to come out :lol:.

He was forced into by dint of the offer of a year's paid holiday to France at full pay ($1m) and an extended contract. Admittedly it was always going to be a tough call but forced, he most certainly was.

And there seems to be no end to the money problems over there at Bomberland ~ Paul Chapman’s future at Essendon in doubt as contract talks break down.

Sad, really.

Sad, really.

The AFL should make them pay the remaining $1.6 million dollar fine ASAP.

As long as the fine is not paid they should not allowed to participate in drafts etc.

Let the real PAIN begin!
 

Pretty sure support staff could take whatever they wanted

Its not like they are doing the running

just experimenting, huh?

for what purpose?

"only to be used in clinical research studies in a laboratory setting under strict guidelines"

Hird, Goodwin and Byrne were reportedly injected with the "research" only, powerful and Wada S2 'growth hormone releasing peptide' Hexarelin.

What were the rules regarding support staff in 2012? Anyone

Just pray that Roos and Jackson did their due diligence when hiring Goodwin and that he was 100% honest with them

Goodwin seems to have had a history of misjudgements.......

Does that include joining the Dees?

The Age 24/8/13. Dank interview extract.

NM: Did James Hird know he was taking [WADA-banned drug] Hexarelin or is it possible that he was just told that he was taking amino acids?

SD: He was told it was Hexarelin. It was discussed with him at length. He asked me if players could use it and I said no. Mind you, he wasn't the only coach who was a regular user of it. [The AFL has alleged that James Hird was injected with "amino acids" by Dank. "Amino acids" is a generic term for proteins. The AFL has said Hird “made no inquiries" about what the amino acids he was injected with were or whether “the substance he was to be injected with” were banned by WADA or the AFL.]

NM: Who else was using it?

SD: [Coaching staff] Simon Goodwin and James Byrne.

NM: Why were Hird, Goodwin and Byrne using Hexarelin in the first place?

SD: Because at the end of the day, they are in very, very stressful jobs, they are getting a little bit older in life, so like a good many thousands of other people around the country . . . they were using something to give them a little bit of a lift, to confront the stresses of their job, and something that they were well entitled to use. Whatever I think of James Hird as a bloke, and you can appreciate it is at an all-time low at the moment, in no circumstances did James Hird do or take anything he wasn't entitled to do.

NM: Wasn't that setting a bad example, that you were giving the coach of a footy club a peptide the rest of the footy club couldn't use?

SD: Not at all. In no way, shape or form does it set a bad example. How many coaches in their 40s in any country in any code of sport are using testosterone? So how is it a bad example?

I am more concerned that this is one of MFCs misjudgments......

Don't be concerned, it is.

My God DF cant you sleep?

4.13 am WA time!

Don't worry DF he is only an assistant they are expendable.

I just hope they've done more than a series of interviews. We've tried that before.

It also concerns me that someone who demonstrated poor judgement and (for all i've heard) no positive influence on a bad situation is going to be our senior coach. Now good judgement and integrity are central elements to leadership success. I have many questions and sadly will have to wait and see with answers.

Don't be concerned, it is.

Could you elaborate?

And do you think McCartney = insurance policy?

As a paid up spectator in the bleachers I can heartedly summise that theres a big difference between Goodwin and Tird. Gw , thoug in some ways party to the initial silliness , has seen the error of his ways and moved on. That other narcissistic bugger still thinks he's right, as he would.

I dont think anyone at the MFC are stupid ( now ) and there will have been many a hard question put to Simon. The club will know all there is to know thats relevant. Possibly still a little fallout but i dont see Goodwin being in Asada's firing line......all Cannons are lined up elsewhere :rolleyes:

I been up since just after 2 am OD and had already drive for 2 hours before I posted that comment.

Don't worry DF he is only an assistant they are expendable.

But he lines up to be the main man soon.

A serious change of lifestyle is in order here DF.

the current one cannot be good for your health long term

 

But he lines up to be the main man soon.

Two years DF that is ample time to show up any flaws.

Could you elaborate?

And do you think McCartney = insurance policy?

I can not believe the MFC selected a future Senior coach from a Club that has no ethics and IMO should be expelled from the league.

It was reported be had injected ban drugs into himself and previous had gambling issues. IMO what a really trustworthy/winner this guy appears to be!

On top of all that, he did not even have the decency to play for the right AFL team, but that is another story.

I can so close to not supporting the MFC after his appointment, as it concerned me that the MFC appear to be supporting drug cheats. IMO the MFC should have let the ASADA/AFL etc. investigations be completed before touching anyone from this unethical and morally bankrupt club. this includes even the water boys.

I don't think McCartney was recruited as a future Senior Coach as this practice only destabilises teams.

    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. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • 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?
