Bomberblitz thinks?

It's there - just well down the list

True, but we don't know how much of that could be put down to non-cooperation by EFC.

No surprise here. We see the AFL's attitude to rules every weekend.

What a stupid decision. Just when they should be ramping up on-line services, they constrict them to help the 2 flagging media dinosaurs, Foxtel and Free to AIr. Though what is the definition of a Telstra subscriber. Am I one if I buy a $2 sim card and never use it I wonder?

when speaking to his family he said "I'm sorry for what I...." and then changed what he was going to say. The next words should have been "have done". Maybe he almost said it.

You have to be a member to view their discussion on the ASADA/WADA saga. It doesn't even appear on the threads list unless you are. You may have to be tied to a chair and swear allegiance to James to get a login account.

Marking and kicking skills were good for both teams. Handballing and awareness of being about to be tackled were the weakest points I thought.

hopefully at kicking practice

Has the line that he was afraid of needles ever been critically examined? eg. past history etc.

Looking at where the 50m arcs and centre square are at the SCG, I see the AFL have redefined the metre again.

No it hasn't. People are just commenting light-heartedly on that out of focus grainy video.

hmmm, don't want to rain on any parade, and maybe I am displaying the wrong aspect ratio on that video, but the bloke in that looks too fat to be an AFL player.

We are always on the outside looking in - it's just that some things we can actually see and some we can't.

Thank god for the hyphen. great news.

Usually 4. Rarely 5 with an 11:30pm slot. On teh QB weekend it is 5 because of the game v C'wood thank goodness. You can check it anywhere in teh country on the AFL website under Broadcast guide.

Try living in NSW . They never fail to broadcast GWS and Sydney games, which doesn't leave much for the other games.

Since I doubt he'd ever dob himself in, the question is, does he have dirt on others which doesn't implicate him. And these people have nothing on him. Sounds unlikely. So I reckon he'll only spill the beans if he is taken down and wants to bring others down with him.

For a change, a conspiracy rather than a stuff-up is the likely truth. If anyone with half a brain was running an illegal program they would severely restrict where the data was kept, where it was backed up etc. so it wasn't on every disk and thumb-drive in the place. In fact you could avoid it appearing any any hard disk at the club. and have it on a few thumb drives (for redundancy since they are a bit ropey) and maybe on a computer's disk that is never anywhere near the club. Then hiding it when the ASADA cops arrived would be relatively easy. The only argument against that is the assumption of there being half a brain at EFC.

This comparison of the current positions of Cronulla and EFC, one club which put its hand up and one which hired a zilion lawyers instead, should be thought provoking for the remaining Hird worshippers. http://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/2015/08/11/cronulla-flying-bombers-drown/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20150812%20The%20New%20Daily%20%281%29&utm_content=&spMailingID=23239456&spUserID=MTAyNjUwMzI2MzU2S0&spJobID=621037777&spReportId=NjIxMDM3Nzc3S0

Looks like Hird is paddling a barbed wire canoe up the proverbial creek. Should see bubbles pretty soon.

Next month 'critical' to James Hird's coaching career: Tim Watson

I think the point is that once the contract is done the club (and we) just have to live with it - no point in costing every kick (as some humourist did on here using $cully's stats). Crying over spilt milk gets you nowhere.

Doubtless they applied that some consideration to evidence presented by EFC et al.

is better than winter
