Poor old James still doesn't get it. 

The conversations went on between lawyers/solicitors/QC's and their opinions is irrelevant.

The case is about Chubb not indemnifying him for initiating legal action. 

He chose to do it. It would appear he was not insured to do so. 

I can  somewhat clarify as I handles our companies insurances and we use Chubb.

It is not a matter of him being covered by insurance for legal costs.

If we want to take legal action or reject claims that may lead to legal action taken against us that we believe will be  covered by our insurance policy we need approval to proceed with our course of action from the insurer  BEFORE we proceed - the insurers then will advise us which direction to take as the are they bunnies who have to cough up the dollars.

Hird's take: the entire affair was an attack on his reputation. (Players', club's, competition's: mere collateral damage.)

Therefore any action he takes in defence of that reputation is justified and in fact required.

Doesn't matter if any step in the defence is reactive or proactive. It's all part of the same game and the one end.

Surely any reasonable insurance company can see that? In the "legends of the game" clause for instance?

 

You don't even have to pay the premium if ya covered by the "legends of the game" clause!

All yokes aside Hirdy was never going to pay, his "patron" is just trying it on Chubb!

When you have a few hundred million it's all just a game!!

Yes but you are forgetting about the Tird Clause in the contract.

I am thinking of changing insurers away from Chubb purely based on the company they keep.

Grymer as I understand has fused vertebrae in his back.

That hardly seems a great way to re start an AFL career and surely he must be risking even more serious injury trying to play a sport at this level.

One thing that will please Hird now is that he can ditch the pleb KIA that was ubiquitous at his regular door stop interviews and go back to his silver patrician Jag.

I am so glad to hear the name of this insurer.

I don't have any policies with them but certainly won't take them on, ever.

I'm not getting what sins have been committed by Chubb.

It's not like they said, "oh okay. It's not covered by the policy but here you go. $$$$$ for your lawyers. I guess everyone else's premiums will have to go up now."

If you want to look at it another way, they've taken EFC's money and pocketed it. Maybe they're the good guys!

Heard on the radio tonight that there are 7 Bummer top up players that played a combined 6 games last year. Jamar was 5 of those. 

They will be so light on for fitness.  They should get smashed this year.

I think Jamar (5), Stokes (14) and Kelly (17) are the only ones who played last year, correct me if i'm wrong.

And they only have 8 confirmed top-up players. 9 if Grima is confirmed who played 0 in 2015.

Funny isn't it. If it were me, I'd pick up the phone to Chubb before spending $750,000 on lawyers. You know, just in case.

Hird's arrogance is astounding.

Simpkin also played 1.

I like jags. Hird's a Cheetah.

No time for Jags. Performance and good looks but deeply flawed and expensive high maintenance just like Mr Tird. My cousin was an engineer for Jaguar and warned me off them.

Actually they are a really good insurance company...

No one else seemed to know what was going on before this all hit the fan - not sure how the insurer would have known. It appears that Hird has got ahead of himself and is now trying to claim legal costs and the insurers have knocked him back (is that correct ? - if so nothing unusual if the insured didn't have the insurers approval to proceed and they would cover costs) - I was tongue in cheek about chubb and to be honest they are really good company to deal with.

He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
