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.
    Tried to do whatever it took to maintain the former.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
