Out and out disgrace.
Hird and the EFC accepted Channel 7's request for Jim to appear on Talking Footy tonight. Hird called Channel 7 today to confirm his appearence ... HOWEVER at the ninth hour Channel 9 threated to sue Hird if he fronted up tonight on TF. Hirdy's bank account has already copped enough. Ironically, it was Hird's comments on TFS that handed them a whole lot of free publicity and RATINGS ... this is how Nein like to repay the favour? Buy threatening legal proceedings.
The EFC has a commercial arrangement with Channel 7. James Hird is the captain of the Essendon Football Club, but as he has a contract with Nine, he threatened not to appear on Channel 7 as the captain of the EFC.
Its real shame that this is what football has become.
