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.

    Tania just preferred to bask in the reflected glory of being married to an AFL golden boy than a drug cheat.

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
