Club Mgmt. Board of Directors as led by President Dave Barham

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just another idiot doubling down on delusion.

 

[CBombers17]

You first.

Of course he knew about the program - is this being denied somewhere?

Get em big and strong was the directive from Bomba I believe (or something along those lines).

The directive came from Bomber and not Hird? Interesting.

I think a great leader would've been the one issuing the directive. I also think he would've been across the program, including what was injected. Hird wasn't, he didn't want them to be injected with PEDs but if he'd been a great leader when coach he would've asked more questions.

[Pweter]

Thanks - so do you think Hird wanted players injected with substances they didn't sign off on / consider to be safe and within the rules?

Therein lies the problem. It should've been impossible for that to happen but it did, regardless of whether he wanted to or not (I don't believe Hird wanted to fwiw)

I will give $1000 to anyone who can give a fresh, new take on the saga that we haven't heard before

It was Ken Fraser’s fault.

Will you be paying me by EFT or…?

The Russians hacked into our needles as a diversion for WADA from their own doping schemes.

It was Alastair Clarksons fault

I assume they thought running a successful doping programme would be as easy as capturing Kyiv.

Oh wait.

I recall that was Bombas feedback about the player size profiles yes. Getting in Dank

You could argue Hird didn't do enough but he was guided by a highly regarded premiership winning coach and also employing someone who the AFLs own team (Suns) had employed- and others.

Then add there were apparently many supplement programs going on all over (shredders went into overdrive accross club land apparently).

I see the saga as a club wide failing largely pinned on Hird. I think the club was also lucky there was less fallout from subsequently placing Bomba in charge of the playing group - knowing he had significant issues. That's an environment where big mistakes are bound to happen IMO.

 

[Pweter]

Oh wait.

Assumption is 100% accurate, otherwise we wouldn't have had the ROC competing at the summer and winter games.

That old chestnut…..

Ah good, an ex player on the board. They’ve all been good value so far.

Better keep this handy

On beer.

First beers for the month on this coming Monday. Half price wings, some beer, school holidays and watching some NFL on the big sports bar screen.

I've been so good I'm rewarding myself for surviving such a majestic 150th season for the Dons.

In our 125th anniversary we finished 3rd last. Joyous!

Afl saw the success of dank and co at geelong and wanted a hird immortal arc to get those 1m supporters signed up as members

So they told us not to hire him from GCS (wink wink).

And we did. And it worked well until the blues had a cry to uncle fitzy who brought the feds in.

Even destroyed all evidence.
5peat denied sadly.

Also it was aliens

 

[brutus76]

It was Sheedy's martians

It was an alien conspiracy organised by ScoMo .

Give Hirdy Sheeds' Ambassadorial $ and get the old codger out of there

How about showing him a little respect, the bloke has coached us to 4 flags FFS.

 

[footyfanatic111]

Just because he has coached 4 flags doesn’t give him a pass to do whatever he wants because he is sheedy.
He consistently does things lately that make you scratch your head. The Clarkson comments to tassie is one example - granted we wouldn’t have got him anyway but it’s ridiculous for him to go on a public media forum and say, a day after the club made its intentions known they were chasing Clarkson.. as a board member mind you! He’s a legend but he seems to think he has his own set of rules and we can’t have people like that Essendon anymore or we will be irrelevant for the next 20 years too.
