Hird to have his say

[mxett]

It's the visual message that Hird and Dank were so far apart that they would hardly have spoken, it would all have gone through Robson/Hamilton/Robinson - when what really happened in practice was that Hird and Dank met and exchanged texts regularly about the program.

they all may have met regularly, we dont know. Certainly being Robinson and Dank's line managers, Robson and Hamilton should have been all over the program, not really Hird

how is it rewriting history? Were you at Essendon in 2012?

No, I was not at Essendon in 2012. The whole article is just an exercise in blame-shifting.

The picture of the org chart just seeks to place James as far as possible from Dank.

James is just trying to pave a path back to credibility. This article might convince some, but anyone with a rudimentary recollection of what happened will not be sucked in.

 

[B4Bear]

pretty much what I expected. Everyone elses fault.

This.

He has not worked out the difference between 'fault' and responsibility.

What a lying sack of shit. He has all the traits of a dog, except loyalty.

sucked in by what? Tell me what he said that you disagree with

Actually we do. They worked in the same building. They saw each other every day ffs.

No matter the structure, the hierarchy, the org charts - Hird was the head coach. Hird wanted the program. Hird oversaw the program. When Reid temporarily halted the program, did this raise a red flag in Hird's mind? No:

On January 30, Hird text to Corcoran: “No stress but need to organise a meeting with you me Reidy, Danksy and Weapon the day you get back. Reidy has stopped everything which is getting a little frustrating. Need to get your United Nations skills back into action.”

His article today is just an exercise in buck-passing.

I work with 100 other people in one department yet I might not see some for a month, other than passing in the corridor

Do you agree with him saying he was insistent on everything being run through Reid?

 

[QuietB]

I guess by now it was always going to be a slim chance that Hird would actually have a bomb to drop. His article today seems and exercise in passing the buck and the most notable thing about it is the absence of any mention of Shane Carter. Be interesting to see if he turns up in Part 2.

If Hird starts mentioning Charter, Charter will start mentioning Hird.

I believe it is reffered to as mutually assured destruction

How often do you see your boss?

Hird wanted a program, Bomber, McCarthy, Goodwin, Robson, Robinson and Corcoran probably did as well.

Rubbish Hird oversaw it, that's a complete guess. he may have been one in a group that set it up but it wasnt his role to manage or run it

 

[mxett]

How often do you see your boss?

Maybe once a week

are you the head coach at EFC, by the sound of it

 

[mxett]

Do you agree with him saying he was insistent on everything being run through Reid?

Absolutely

 

[Bulldog1954]

Absolutely

Then why did he ask Corcoran to use his UN skills to prevent Reid from stopping the program?

 

[jenny61_99]

Take Mxett off ignore, read him still sticking up for Hird. Blindly. *sigh*. Back on to ignore.

 

[Spongebob]

Para 15 of the findings, part of the agreed facts, states Robinson reported to both Hamilton and Hird.

The distance is not so great.

 

[ziad]

I am comfortable satisfied that the inner circle of hirdites will start eating their babies over the next few weeks.

At the moment it looks like Teflon Hird considers it Bombers fault.

 

[Nostradumbass]

'I'm taking my talents to Bordeaux.'

 

[mxett]

Then why did he ask Corcoran to use his UN skills to prevent Reid from stopping the program?

he asked Corcoran to organise a meeting between Reid, Robinson and Dank to try to get them back on the same page. Does that sound like he was trying to exclude Reid?

 

[BPikkers]

Absolutely

of course you do.

MXett - who do you thing oversaw the program? I believe that Hird pushed this program. He certainly would have had input from the others you mentioned. Who knows, maybe some of them wanted the program more than he did. But as head coach, he was in the position to start or stop the program whenever he wanted. A string of text messages attest to this.

Robinson oversaw the program and reported to Hamilton. Hird obviously had a say in its development and probably was updated at times, but I cant see why this made him more responsible than the other two I mentioned

 

[Funk]

i still think Hird doesn't believe TB4 was used. He has professed the players innocence constantly, and I cannot imagine he is coming out in the media to confess or say he was wrong. Why would he?

But Dank said TB-4 was used.

Dank was directly under Robinson - who was under Hird.
