estimated costs to the club on this saga...about minimum $35m  obviously their insurance picks up a lot.  Also turd lost his court case about his insurance covering his legal fees, he's gotta pay them himself.

While I respect and understand your comment I actually think the biggest success of the Essendon, Hird and his sympathisers campaign has been to con fans into thinking the bold statement.  Essend

My suggestion to Eddie is that before he sticks his nose in other clubs' business he should make sure that his own players are drug free and toilet trained.

I think it's pretty unfair on the Brisbane Lions that Essendon get pick 1 this year, they're going to welcome back several very good AFL players from suspension, the Lions get a couple back from injur

I thought that "mystery benefactor" picked up the tab on ASADA's legal bills, and Hird was just greedily trying to get the money back in his pocket regardless?

The Little benefactor picked up the costs for the first court case. Hird thought his appeal would be covered by insurance (I wish I could find an insurance company to cover me starting legal proceedings, I would sue heaps of people just for fun!) so he took the insurer to court for not covering the costs of the appeal.

I would assume he has incurred even more costs by taking Chubb to court to pay for his other costs?

I am 99% confident I tread in the HUN today that the judge said in the decision that Hird presented no evidence to support his action.

Very Strange

It is the Essendon way, when ASADA and WADA produce lots of evidence they say there is none, yet when James produces none I am sure they will say there is heaps. Still no sign of any records for anything though ;)

Presented plenty of stuff - just that the judge didn't regard it as evidence supporting his claims. Annoying to have people with legal training dismiss your carefully concocted narrative so arbitrarily.  I'm sure Tania would have helped him with his submission though -if they're still talking that is.

Apparently he failed/refused to present the transcripts of the questions/answers he felt forced to answer at the joint ASADA/AFL investigation. Being forced the indignity to answer those questions was a central part of his argument that he was defending himself and thus covered by the insurance. There must have been some hot stuff and bus tire marks there that he felt could not enter the public domain.

No doubt Hird can only hope to tread as carefully as you do, OD ... it sounds like for him, tread is preceded only ever by "Barge in where angels fear to" :lol::)

Article in the hun today quoting gil about how hard a decision it will be to take jobes medal away...

 

The guys an idiot

Disagree. McLachlan has to say it's a difficult decision to protect his reputation whichever way the decision goes. There will be complaints whatever decision is made so to say it was a "hard decision" insulates the Commission and McLachlan from criticism.

(Actually, to clarify, he may be an idiot, but this particular statement is not idiotic).

No, he needs to say that "until the appeal is over jobe will keep his medal. If the appeal fails the afl will have no choice other than to strip jobe of his medal as he gained it whilst being part of an unregulated and unsupervised illegal supplement regime".

Gil has shown how weak he is by saying he will abstain from voting on Jobe and the medal claiming need to be seen as being independent.

Seems a cop out to me so he can maintain his self image (er, delusion) of being fair...no, no blood on his pure hands!

Must admit that the item that saddened me the most from the Age's list was the miserly token $200,000 by work cover. This was the most important finding and would have angered a lot of honest people in an Australian industry that has propelled itself to the bottom of  the spittoon.

Independent in this context meaning " fence- sitting dork".

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!

She's already taken him for more than half of what they had together.....

I'm not sure that's right. When you act negligently/fraudulently or illegally you may not be covered. Maybe that's what the Swiss case is about. The current judgement is scathing on the club and if I was the insurance cpy I'd be saying the club has breached its obligations to act legally. Ergo 'we are not responsible for payment'

Interesting to hear the views of any insurance lawyers out there....

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
