well, he will have to survive a double dissolution first.....good luck with that

Is this he second or third time his guy has called for a commission review? He seems to spend all of his time on commissions, must be a higher daily stipend on committees.

he must think it's a vote catcher for the upcoming elections. either that or his main benefactor is an essendon benefactor

"The minister for sport has told me, in writing, that 'successive legal reviews' had found the ASADA investigation into  the Essendon Football Club was conducted 'in accordance with Australian legislation'," Madigan said.

"If the minister is right, how does she account for the absurdity of the outcome? The fact is that the 34 sanctioned 2012 Essendon footballers are the victims of a workplace safety crime, a crime found by a Victorian magistrate to have been committed by their employer.

 

While I sympathise with a view that there are bigger villains involved than some of the players, how can a man who can fill out a senate nomination form not understand that players are (and have to be) ultimately responsible for what goes into their bodies.

I fail to see how a senator cannot differentiate between victorian law and the rules of sport


As predicted by most James Hird has lost his legal case against Chubb and now has to pay a legal bill of around $640,000. Maybe he should be suing his lawyers for the abysmal advice he has received throughout the whole saga!

Good point Old Dee! Hadn't thought about him being so incredibly egotistical to ignore the experts advice. Not sure how I missed it when it really is an incredibly viable proposition.

He's absolutely correct. Workcover should have destroyed that football club for what it's done, and had key figures under massive charges.  Players getting off however is not an option.

I had a conversation in the last  hour with a friend who is responsible for looking after all things insurance for the company were he works.

He has held this position at three company over the last 20 years.

He says that he has never heard of a company having insurance to cover the costs of an employee suing someone who they feel has wrong them.

He has had a case where the company agreed to cover the legal costs of an employee before the action was started but that was the company paying not the insurance company.

In his words this is Company insurance 101. You are covered for people suing you end of story.

But I guess the normal rules don't apply to Demigods.

And together they have been laughed out of more court rooms than anyone.  They must be a running joke in the legal fraternity.

I noticed you left out "good" dc

A lawyer who acts for her husband has a fool for a client- or somesuch garbled version of the old saying.  But I wouldn't be surprised if it was a case of don't take legal advice from someone emotionally involved.

Not to mention Cash Cow.

He may not have nous for legal matters but I wonder who's arm he going to twist to pay his costs? Shown to be good at getting others to pay for his mistakes.

I fear the worst for poor 'St.James' - one wonders just how many 'mysterious benefactors' one can expect to have in one lifetime......

Presume he and the ever-lovely Tania will have to sell another investment property - there goes the negative gearing benefits.

 

Hird has now become the international invisible man of mystery. Keeping a low profile. Perhaps can't get the fee he wants for another exclusive interview or saving his words for the tell all book.

I don't fear anything for James

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
