I'm surprised the gunman on the grassy knoll wasn't reported for that shot that got Adam Goodes against Richmond

When it comes to that, in the time honoured tradition of nominative determinism, I present you John Butcher

Fox's holes for one

I assume you are refering to their Fox Sports holes, most notably the fundamental orifice of Mr G Whately.

Just because the players think a lot of James Hird doesn't mean he feels the same way about them.

Lets play 6 Degrees of Stephen Dank, shall we?

I've said it in another thread, but I'd rather believe what I Reid rather than what I Hird.

If you look at the context of the Burnside interview, you could be mistaken to think that what he was saying was for the benefit of James Hird. I believe he said what he said for the next person thinking of hiring him. Whoever that may be.

I think it speaks volumes for the weight that the medical profession put on the first tenet of the Hypocratic oath - First, do no harm. All the other footy guys suspended live in their macho testosterone filled environments, and all are welcome to come back to it soon enough, while Dr Reid is...

Just curious on this trailing claim. If you manage to contrive to make every second post your own, then surely someone has to follow you at some point?

The evidence is quite clear. If Bomber Thompson believes, and I quote: " The alarm bells should have gone off in somebody's eyes." Then I want some of what he was taking.

Still a third of a Burnside.

Nothing was proven by the AFL, but they still managed to wreak some havoc when their pride was on the line. Watch and speculate on why an 8 month investigation is still ongoing, and the liklihood of the head ASADA/WADA folk saying 'our mistake, there is nothing to see here, move along'. You and...

Assume his position On The Couch and spend the next 12 months denying he has any intention of ever coaching Essendon.

It would be laughable if not so insulting that someone like Burnside would attempt to argue the semantics of action versus inaction. He has represented enough industrial cases against big business to know that an employers inaction to do something that ensures safety for the employees amounts to...

The great thing about lawyers is that they tend to develop a clientelle profile. If you're happy to have Hird bracketed with Rose Porteous and Alan Bond then more luck to you. By the way, you do know that he has acted against 'Spotless' don't you?

There is an adage that you never buy from a rich salesman or hire a poor lawyer. Little proves the first part to be true and Burnside the second

No virus will ever kill its primary host.

I wonder if it was her suggestion that he get a tan and a hard-on as well?

I'd trust what I Reid, rather than what I Hird.

Don't try and hide behind another code's methodology. The NRL already has form when it comes to stripping past premiership teams of their trophies, so no biggie. Plus, from your own Doc Reid's pen,"It appears to me that in Sydney with Rugby League the clubs do not answer to the governing body...

All those premierships are the envy of so many clubs, like mine who have no silverware at all. And I see you reference them frequently. Just like James Hird's writ aginst the AFL where he spends a page documenting the shopping list of his accomplishments. However when this is finished, Essendon...

That's not exactly how the law works. Overwhelming circumstantial evidence, including explicit admissions from Essendon's own commissioned report set a prima facie case that governance and record keeping may well have been deliberately avoided so as to obscure any evidence. Failure to keep...

I keep seeing the term 'inconceivable' rolled out to describe: a) the possibility that James Hird deliberately set about to dope his players b) the liklihood that any were given banned substances c) that Essendon will stand down James Hird b) that they will accept any harsh penalties. I would...

With any luck, the threatened injunctions will preclude the AFL from docking Essendon of points this year.

All the speculation is in vein.

Yes, but the club doctor is employed by the club. He should be the only one doing the injecting, but to make it transparent and double checked, I still maintain the player's manager should give it the all clear.

More often than not, a WADA ban will follow the discovery of a masking agent. That is to say, something in the bloodstream that may be there to hide something else, but not in itself a performance enhancing drug. I have another suggestion though. How about making the player's manager sign off on...

Because I'm lazy and new, I haven't read the whole thread. But one thing I'd like to see is an inurance fund set up for the Bomber's players, funded by the club, in case health issues develop down the track. And yes, this to cover every sniffle and carbunkle they might develop between now and...

Hird's QC has stated that the AFL is acting like a bully, telling a bunch of individuals it has control over what they can do and what medicine they must take. Funny, sounds exactly like how Essendon treated its players.
