I have repeatedly said Hird should be removed as coach and that he should bare some responsibility. I just dont think he was the sole figure or even the head figure
Hird to have his say

Not according to Hird.
Great org chart on Page 9 in today's article. Hird is as geographically far away from Dank as possible. Very symbolic.
The rewriting of history has begun.
So i take it the dimensional matrix is no longer the accepted best practice, who's going to tell ol' Bruce?

"I'm shocked to be sitting here" yet less than a year before that, he had tried to unsuccessfully fire dank because he knew something ****ed up was happening. The guy is lying.
Fair enough.
I'm finding his article in the HUN completely blame pointing at all, but himself. Reckon he's burning bridges with more people.
Wonder if he was paid for the article.
I've only read a little bit, did he throw Doc Reid under the bus too?

Certainly appears that way. They didn't seem to stop the program as Reid asked. Certainly, not everything was run by Reid as apparently James insisted.
Or do you think that James had no idea that Reid was being left out of the loop?
Then reversed it back over Doc Reid to be sure.

I am a lover of james hird as a player but seriously as a coach is to blame for us in all these crap. Needs to go away or either give real proof about what actually happened we not cas here we need proof not here say ps that essendon mother can come out and say who she was or wait minute it was andrew dee in disguise
So if we accept that Hird did not know (as opposed to denies) TB-4 was used, then Hird has positioned himself as a road block in the middle of this whole saga, and that roadblock is ultimately what caused this to end up at CAS.
So the players have ended up at CAS and ended up with 2 year suspensions because of Hird's stubbornness over something he does not even know.
You are kidding yourself if you believe that is what happened.
Its possible they resolved Reid's concerns to the point he was happy for the program to continue. I would have thought that was the purpose of the meeting

If so, it would have been an ideal time to rejig the Org Chart, lines of responsibility etc. Not JH's role though?

What I want to hear from Hird is what the AFL did and said and when. Even if it's only his version of the truth.
He's never going to admit he set out to cheat but I hope he goes nuclear on the AFL.

Given Hird has done all these business courses you would think he would be aware of corporate governance.
If he did he would know that having a convicted drug dealer and self confessed PED user hanging around the club (Charter) and playing a role was a big no no, not just from a perspective point of view but also because he is actually a convicted criminal.
To many coincidences, either Hird is dumb or he was involved.

I wouldn't believe one word that comes out of Hird's mouth on this issue. Been a trail of BS coming out of his mouth since the whole thing started. I'm not tuning in as let's face, he'll only likely talk shit.

DEAN ROBINSON.... when are people and the Media actually going to question the role of this guy. To date everyone has been happy to throw it at Hird, but now its over, I suggest you look much harder into the character of this bloke, the role he played and the role as head of department that he held.
These is a reason why the AFL and ASADA were happy to put more weight on his evidence than that of Hird! But thats all irrelevant now that the bans have been handed down and Dean Robinson is no longer protected.
Dean Robinson will be in the gun now....

I'll address it
1. Hird hosted the meeting but others were present
2. Dank brought him along. We also dont know if other were present or if it was just Hird
3. Reid and Hird are friends so hardly a surprise Reid consulted Hird about what to do
4. There may have been other frustrated staff also
5. Hamilton. Hird already knew of his concerns and asked him to formalise them in a letter
6. Robinson, Dank, Hird from what we are told. Is it unusual for the coach to be at a meeting with the players?
7. Hird that we know of but there could have been many more. Robinson and Hamilton may have received texts every hour for all we know
8. Hird, so what?
James is just shifting the target from his own head,to Dank and Robinson,again.
Be interesting to see what Ol Danky has to say about this,as he uncomfortably opens his broken gate whilst smirking at the cameras talking into his phone,again.
This is just Hirdy fumbling with a roll of tape attempting to reassemble the tattered image of himself as a 'Brand'.
Too little too late,mate.

That's why he won his wrongful dismissal claim. He knows he stuffed up, has moved on but not Hird. They all played a role, only 2 refuse to accept responsibility, Dank and Hird.
I tell you what, lets hear what the EFC think happened, let them tell us Dean Robinson was behind a lot of this, then lets hear what Dean Robinson has to say.
