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.

"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!

Chris you are assuming he is taking their advice.

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
