"Since this wretched affair began in February 2013"

For God's sake Robbo the "wretched affair" began when the Dank was hired and the supplement regime began.

Saw him on 360 last night he said much the same as that article.

At times he was almost incoherent.

My impression ( hardly new ) is that he is hopelessly conflicted on the subject of Hird.

He is simply a fan boy who cannot see the forest for the trees.

Whatever credit I thought he may have left disappeared for me.

MM treated him with disdain years ago.

He was correct.

I find at times he is almost coherent.

Still cant believe Hird said in his presser that David Zaharaskis is soft at the contest. Sure he was attempting to be lighthearted, but the bottom line is that he has shown terrible judgement at every turn. Incredible thing to say at any time, never mind at the press conference announcing you've been sacked in disgrace.

He's already been using a ghostwriter for them for the last 3 years.

I was told yesterday that in his pre-coaching days when Hird used to write a regular column for the Herald Sun that Mark Robinson was his ghost writer. I don't know if my source is necessarily in the know, though. So, is it common knowledge or has it ever been confirmed that Mark Robinson was Hird's ghost writer?

Best laugh I've had in days.

I actually struggle with the idea of a semi-literate hack ghost writing for an obviously articulate person. I have visions of James Hird ghost writing Mark Robinson's ghost written text to put it back into decent English.

I am quite sure that Zaharakis was the only guy not to opt into the injection program, there was an explanation that he had a phobia of needles but wasn't confirmed?

We don't know because all of the Essendon players want the truth to come out but no one is talking

Wow Robbo, you're a mastermind in working that one out.

Robbo has been disgraceful for years. He's just a bomberblitz nuffie who somehow has a position of power in the AFL media. He should fall on his sword too for using the herald sun for his own agenda. Go write a blog you amateur.

I just love it when the media falls out of love with someone. What a great photo. The Age

Plus writing a column for the Herald-Sun.

He already does, just under another name.

Won't be long before they do. It will be every man for himself when the suspensions start.....

Far more than a fanboi to Hird. There is more to their relationship than that.

Looks like he is dropping his guts!

Still doing a bit of reading at Bomberblitz and there are people calling for him to be President/Board Member.

They are honestly fools, the lot of them. They honestly can't see what he has done to the club.

I will always think he was on something in the 2000GF...........

Chris, you always have good posts and never troll but that comment needs a bit more info

Curiousty is greatly piqued!

"John Ralph

James Hird makes a graceful exit as he departs as Essendon coach"

John Ralph applies for gig to co-write Hird's tell-all book. These Hun boys have no shame.

There is no need to down grade bloggers like that Pipefitter!!

Lets face it, with a few exceptions sports reporters and journos are not the smartest people on the planet. In fact if they were smart they would not be doing what they are doing. Football journos are probably at the bottom of the pile. In fact, half of them are not journalists, but merely reporters. Often think the term journalist gives credibility to a pretty ordinary bunch. Also there are so many of them nowadays all trying to break stories and get their name.......well, in the paper.

McDevitt from ASADA was angered by Hird’s repeated debasing of the joint ASADA and AFL investigation into the program that ran at Windy Hill in 2012.

He said the departed coach needed to accept responsibility.

“He has repeatedly referred to this as the ASADA scandal and did again today. Don’t blame ASADA for doing its job. Blame him and others for not doing theirs,” McDevitt said.

“This is not the ASADA scandal. It is the Essendon scandal and will go down in history as such.”

Snap

That gets me aroused.
