Just announced in the Supreme Court that Hird's costs order, to be paid to ASADA , of about $750k, have been paid by a white knight.

They weren't a LITTLE amount.

I wonder who the white knight could be.

Hird's claim against the Insurer has now been halved.

PS. Didn't see your post, Choke.

Redleg, I'm just trying to decode your little hint about the mystery benefactor. Surely "white knight" isn't code for Matthew Knights?

The term " white knight" came from the article.

The "bolded" description was my guess.

Hmm. I see nothing in bold. But LITTLE was capitalised. Is that a hint? All too subtle for me.

He might need the money. Some interesting rumours about the man and a supposed affair with a french girl that has delivered a bouncing baby this week.......

All according to my uber driver!

that would be priceless, if true. and dovetails into other rumours nicely.

Apparently a 'mystery benefactor' paid his $750,000 legal bill to ASADA:

 Mystery benefactor paid off James Hird's $750,000 legal debt

As others have said, Little doubt as to who may feel so generous towards the twerp.

Can't believe that Teflon coated pretty boy has avoided consequences of his actions once again. Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't orchestrated by the AFL. It makes my blood boil that his narcissistic sense of entitlement has yet been further boosted. That money should go to a far more deserving cause.

Think I need a Valium.

By all accounts Little and Hird weren't very buddy, buddy towards the end and neither was the AFL with Hird. 

I tend to think a coterie member put up the $750k... you know one of the influential type that miraculously 'convinced' Charter, Alavi etc not to testify at the AFL Tribunal.  :ph34r:

If my hunch is right, never fear, they will likely call in the favour one of these day, then Hird will pay his dues. 

Nobody stumps up $750K cool ones for no reason ... we may not hear about it but whoever it was will want to collect from the teflon one:ph34r:


I don't understand this action. 

Stumping up money to protect originally, I understand.

But he lost. He is disgraced. There is no longer a benefit to your club.

Why waste the money?

Obviously not disgraced in the eyes of the benefactor. 

And maybe it wasn't for the benefit of the club...re read my post just before yours...its the most logical explanation...

Schools warned not to use banned players

"Victorian schools have been warned not to use the banned  34 Essendon players in any coaching or mentoring capacity even if it is unpaid work...The warning to schools came after one leading grammar school in Melbourne sought clarification from the AFL if they could use one of the 34 players in their football program".

WOW!  I'm gobsmacked!  What symbolic message is this so called 'leading' school giving students: its ok to cheat, its ok to take drugs!  Can they not see the danger?  I wonder what the parents think?

Crickey, I'm beginning to wonder if it is only DL's who keep fighting the good fight, for drug free sport!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
