Hirds only consistency :

It's always someone else's fault.

Hird is suing his insurance co for not covering his legal bills!!

I am amused by the irony of that

I'm impressed that he wants to continue to line the pockets of the legal fraternity.

And, speechless at his audacity (albeit his legal right)

Oh, that's right he 'didn't see the Dog's loss coming'!!!

Well he better get his mind back on the job of coaching otherwise another 'reality bus' is coming his way.

Really? Wow he is stupider than I thought. Who would launch that legal action without checking first whether it was covered?

Where does Hird get all this stupid legal advice from? oh.....

he is becoming famous for "i didn't see that coming" moments.......priceless

I'm literally gobsmacked that Essendon fans put up with this egomaniac as a coach.

It didn't take long for Carlton fans to turn against Malthouse and want his head, yet Hird remains untouchable. They indoctrinate their members well at Windy Hill!

This is just brilliant.

They are stuck with him

They were stuck with thousands of needles

And they are no good

And yet the reality bus just keeps flying past their stop

Where does Hird get all this stupid legal advice from? oh.....

Heh. And when he loses: more legal bills to pay. The lawyers, as always, are the only winners in all of this.

Certainly never expected the karma bus to hit them with such force. And to think, WADA haven't even banned them yet!

"Chubb had denied liability, in a letter dated April 12, 2015, to indemnify Hird for his trial and appeal costs on the grounds that the policy did not afford cover for Hird for pursuing legal proceedings as a claimant; and his legal costs were not reasonably incurred"

like that other chap, he is just undergoing his cruxifiction and after that we will witness his resurrection

at least that is the bumber disciple's narrative

they will probably print a new version of that holy book in bomberland with an extra gospel attached

Maybe Lloyd can be the next golden child to senior coach them with zero senior coaching experience?

Where does Hird get all this stupid legal advice from? oh.....

...Tania?

I wonder if he would still be the coach if we had not helped him out on the 11th July?

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?

No doubt correct dc

The truth they believe is someone has switched the bottles.

Just you wait till the truth comes out!

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!

i think the argument is that is no proof that the bottles ever contained wine and anyway no-one ever came up with a positive test

they're not sure what was in the bottle but it couldn't have been wine

they are blaming the afl because they supplied the bottles

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.

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.

They are blaming the AFL not because they supplied the bottles but because they didn't follow the AFl's own rules and catch them buying the wrong bottles fast enough. That's what caused this whole mess, the AFL didn't catch them cheating early enough!

All over dc

He will win by the length of the straight with only four months to go no one is going to bridge the gap.
