Their whole club should have been banned last year.

 

And no way should they have been rewarded with Pick# 5&6  last year or Pick#1 this year.

    This Danny Corcoran fella is a genius.

    Really knows how to run a football club-

    into the ground.

    I have little sympathy for any of them.

    His call of PTSD demeans soldiers and those who have experienced real trauma or grief.

    What JH experienced was a total loss of respect and credibility stoked by an ego that has never been in check.

    I noticed his egotism when I first saw him interviewed.

    His ego took him right up but he wasn't ready for the fall.

    A total lack any introspective insight leads to insanity or prison , or worse.

    Ego and lack of insight are the key words.

    There still is online. Good old Bomber Thompson having a swipe at the AFL again saying how badly treated they all were.

    Aaaand its a truth bomb

    It is funny reading in the comments that even after Patrick points out the difference between the governance penalties and the banned substance penalties, there is still an individual called Ruth who is completely confused about the goings on what which hearing was for what. No surprise she is a Hird fan.

    Hi Patrick.. How's it going ? ;)

    The Australian article is worth the read.  Not an apologist's arse wipe, like the other drivel about this case.

    When Hird took full responsibility he was on the right path.  His advisers swooped in an whispered in his ear.  He has not won a single appeal.  He looks like a sullen schoolboy, now playing the victim.  All of these idiots should have given him better counsel, rather than trying to turn him into a martyr on his death bed (or ICU bed).

    Agree, it seems he has been very poorly advised...

    ...then again it could be that he would only listen to what he wanted to hear and wouldn't pay any regard to anyone with a differing view.

    Maybe he surrounded himself with sycophants.

    A quote from the Goebbels's diaries. Applicable to Hird and his apologists or even the AFL. Only needs minor editing. 

     

    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

    Citing Goebbels is somewhat of a quantum leap.  He was after all the person in charge of propaganda in a Nazi regime.

    Not really. Rule applies to everything where power, money, ego and influence is at stake.

    Whilst I cannot speak for him, I very much doubt that adc is equating Essendonism with National Socialism aka Naziism, but the use and repetition of the big lie is a point in common with Herr Geobells and with many sociopathic narcissists, those at Essendon, and AFLHQ included.   It is also very common in Canberra, which interestingly is where the Golden Boy heralded from, if I recall correctly.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
