Hirdy loses cases against insurance coy

[sobrave]

is this finally 'natural justice'?

 

[Dangerousfield]

He might have to start a TV game show to fund his court losses, he could name it "Biggest Loser", oh wait..........

He did the right thing for a millisecond on self reporting night and since then has used every possible excuse that blames anyone but himself and used every possible avenue to avoid real scrutiny. Three losing court cases is a testament to this tosser's arrogance.

A once highly esteemed player has become the worst kind of toxic and ridiculed by everyone, except Little. Should have stayed with the unreserved apology James!

 

[Mavis Darling]

Hird sadly will have someone pay his costs and remain the only person to have gotten away unpunished despite being a key leadership position. He can keep his brownlow as he deserved it but he needs to be stripped of his hall of fame membership, stripped of life membership and be banned from any association with AFL for life. If he had any sort of leadership ability, integrity or professionalism, this whole mess would never have happened.

Totally agree!

 

[sobrave]

the judge was clearly just one of the haters, possibly a foamer too

 

[jenny61_99]

For most people involved at the club they just want this over and for that reason I'd imagine James receives a "donation" just to make sure he stays silent

I guess so. Do you think he will though? (Remain silent). He doesn't strike me as the sort.

 

[medusala]

whatever your definition of morality, it has no place. The competition extends over the boundary line to the john elliot backrooms.

Hirdy competing with Ken Jarrett for the award for excellence in legal decision making.

 

[The 747]

There will be no tin rattling and Hird will not pay a cent.
A mysterious donation will be made

Of course and the AFL paid for his holiday and are covering the costs for everything. Hird isn't out of pocket a cent. Wanting to believe things doesn't make them true.

His lawyers deserve some sort of award for cottoning on early that he was a mark and extracting that which was due...

 

[medusala]

Give it 10 years and they'll no doubt drum up some kind of redemption narrative for him

No, sentence reads "liftetime campaigner, no parole"

Chopper Read > James the fallen.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

If Essendon types want to rattle tins for him outside Etihad before we ... lol ... "play" them ... in a few weeks, I still have that shiny new New Zealand 20c piece ready to contribute to the great cause.

No need, Paul's paying.

I didn't say the AFL would pay.
Not saying I agree with it but there are plenty of people at the club who would be more than willing to dip into their pockets to help him out

 

[Monkey King]

I know better cos I am not a gullible numpty. pretty simple yeah?

A'ight, I see. You're not a gullible numpty; you're a cyclical numpty.

Still doesn't answer the question though. Well not outside of your head anyway.

 

[MaddAdam]

No need, Paul's paying.

You must be so proud.

 

[Underdog]

Do people really think that Paul Little will pay $700,000 out of his own pocket for court action taken by someone else and not approved by Essendon?

Just because someone is rich, it doesn't mean they throw money away...

Not like Hird can't afford it.

 

[blackcat]

It started with Corc turning Jim into a true believer 2 decades ago.

It evolved enough that Jim thought he was untouchable enough to bring it all inhouse and teamwide.

It combusted because the clown hired to do Jim's work was so hot that the Australian Crime Commission was watching his every move by the time he was having pina colada's by the pool with Jim n Shane.

it migrated outside afl hands. that was the problem. and zero risk management. how do you keep a program with 40 individuals plus the coaches broaching mid age crisis on the good-stuff vanity antiaging image enhancing melanotans and lipotropins, how do you keep this "in-house". you cant. its hubris to think they could

Might not be Little but some mystery benefactor paid a chunk of it already. Originally he was to pay closer to 1.5mil until...

"A mystery benefactor has paid off a $750,000 debt owed by former Essendon coach James Hird to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, a court has heard

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...oachs-660000-legal-bills-20160216-gmv7qg.html

So not unrealistic that someone steps up and pays the remainder.

Makes an interesting gift discussion with the tax office, James will be paying 49 cents or 47 cents in the dollar to the tax man (depending on who is elected!). Still better than paying the full Mottza to the lawyers and Chubb!

Meh he'll just sue the ATO

 

[Spook]

yeah I'm sure this is really going to put a dent in the wallet of the guy actually paying it. Not.

But the visceral hatred is a thing to behold regardless

Do yo hate Hird for what he did to your football club Lance?

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

I saw that face at the Inveloch Pub over Christmas.

Saw him a few years ago in the same venue, punting and drinking. Nearly said something but caught myself in time, not sure I could anymore. Bloke is a shit stain on life.
