Robson played it very smartly: "i should have known about the program but I didn't know anything about it, therefore I have to resign"  Least possible personal damage.

Yep couldn't wait to get out the door. 

Dangerous man. Will be glad when he leaves Victory...

You look back and don't trust anything he's ever said

I recall one memorable episode of ON THE COUCH when Matty Knights who was under the  pump at the time was being discussed and dear James in his soothing and caring tone was saying how he felt for him and in fact was going down to the club offering support and advice to help him through his difficulties. All said with the upmost expression of genuine sincerity and conviction.

Of course we know what happened a couple of months later.

Hird never missed an appointment on the "top rating" IQ sucking Footy Show either. In fact I hope they have something prepared for that other sanctimonious hypocritical parasite

as well.

Probably a 10 minute tribute to the 34 followed by 5 minutes about how good hird is

Then the fossil will start up about how bad wada are and what a joke it is

Why did Hird, Evans, Robson etc meet in July 2012 to get rid of Dank and Robinson? Hird says he was told they could not payout financially and also Dank and Robinson would take legal action.

Hird says later they were shocked in February 2013 about concerns and investigations into EFC 

Answer... They know protocols were missed in July 2012 and had suspicions about what was being injected. Reid alerted issues and they were ignored.  Not enough was done to ask questions, stop the process and PROTECT THE PLAYERS. Hird failed the players.

wasn't that also about the time that essendon players started getting soft tissue injuries and losing games after such an dominant start to the season?

The AFL is not the only Aust sport going through drug issues. The main players look to be using the same trick as Hird and Co, blame the authorities through the media. It's a beat up, it's not true, they are out to get us, we'll take it to a higher court.

When asked about the effect on his family he mentioned his children and friends and ex friends etc  but forgot to mention his most loyal and devoted cheerleader wife who seems to have gone missing.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
