I have a strong feeling the strings get shorter each week LH

They have Giants, Crows, GCS, Richmond and Pies to play

Cannot see too many wins there for them and the potential of another couple of beltings.

Oh the joy cannot take the smile off my face.

I hear tell that Hird is expecting a distinct improvement from his playing group as they approach the pointy end of the season.

The game that proved to be a 'dead cat's bounce'! Grrrrr!!

There is something weird in the inner workings of that club and James somehow is the one pulling the strings!

Yes I think that's it, I can finally pull my own strings.

The core principal of insurance is protection from unforeseen events. Taking action against others ie. being the claimant is not unforeseen and can never be covered.

Well that would fit in with his twisted logic. Losing is an unforeseen concept for him.

Hmm when a CEO feels the need to reassure the fans you know the end is nigh.

There is another 5 games before the end of 2015 another couple of 10+ goal losses and zero wins might well changes things.

When a CEO says he is 100% certain a coach will stay, it is code that it should be read backwards as in .001%.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love this organisation:

"Essendon chief executive Xavier Campbell said on Sunday he was “100 per cent” sure Hird would coach on despite a yearly football review at season’s end."

What's the point in doing the goddamn review then?!

I'm seriously running low on laughing gifs.

As said in THE AUSTRALIAN, the insurance policy relates to the club in covering employees. As has been said Hird went against the clubs wishes in pursuing the matter as an individual not as a club employee. How on Earth can he be possibly covered when he was a private claimant?

Typically insurance cover for executives and directors covers them when someone else is suing them (with the usual caveats that they must not have been doing anything illegal etc). I haven't heard of an insurance cover for execs that allows them to sue - particularly in these circumstances.

He is a dead set muppet. As for his wife's legal skills they sound pretty shoddy....

Either he is the muppet or else this is another arm twisting tactic to get something out of the club.

James Hird's insurance company will cover him for costs incurred in defending himself against legal action, but not for costs incurred in actions he has initiated.

The action he lost and the appeal cost a total of about 650 grand, which they refuse to cover.

So he's suing them.

The guy's got his finger superglued to the self-destruct button.

So even the insurance company has shown itself to be aligned with the dark forces arrayed against Sir James.

And people say there's no conspiracy ...

God, the strength of this man to be so upright and unbowed when surrounded by so many seeking his downfall, so much injustice.

(Either that or he's a sociopath.)

They're going through the motions. They're saving money, if not time. Word is there are 6 million reasons why they shouldn't SACK Tird.

They're waiting for CAS to do it for them, for free.

Not directly in insurance myself. From an outsider looking in though I can't fathom why any insurer would expose themselves to such a risk.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
