Live Event James Hird live in concert (Interview now in OP)

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

Just a reminder what it looks like when an actual journalist gets to ask James a few questions

To be fair, Tracey Holmes asked a lot more questions and got much more info out of Hird, and we all know Robbo is a Hird fanboi, and up until then Whateley was as well, Gerard actually ambushed Hird in that interview, doubtful he'll go back on AFL360 again. At least he named Dank in Holmes interview.

 

[piepark]

Your on the money. Watch this space.

Well that was boring as batshit.

Only thing of interest to me was he seemed to tread very carefully around Dank.

Me thinks Dank still has some dirt on Hird up his sleeve.

 

[JackOutback]

he made some big mistakes, took on way too much as a new coach, but never intended for the players to be doped.

I don't think he intended to dope either, and yet you are still being too generous to him. Dangerously incompetent, almost sociopathic in his refusal to acknowledge his mistakes, played with people's careers and lives and still only cares about himself. Exposed as a shit human being.

Well that explains everything.

see Holmes view on Hird from 2013

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-15/holmes-hirds-latest-challenge/4628532

From the final para of the article - 'Let's also hope that the integrity and focus shown by James Hird in decades of playing the game, captaining championship teams, winning the sports highest honours and becoming a qualified civil engineer has given him the strength required to face up to this latest challenge.'

Pretty much summarises the interview.

Oh, and let's also hope that in the intervening three years, a top notch journalist like Tracey has figured out where the apostrophe goes in a sentence such as 'winning the sports highest honours...'

 

[Wil79]

James, how do you feel?

 

[sherb]

Suggestions for people who could have done a more probing interview.

Already mentioned:

I'll add in:

and

 

[Le Grille]

Am assuming someone had already posted, but in case not, gold from Ted Richards...

Still pissed off about that offside

 

[mxett]

Would love to hear another interview with the weapon. But Essendon has already bought his silence. Why is his law suit payout never mentioned anywhere?

agree. Hird threw him under the bus. Come on Dean, come out and defend yourself if Hird is incorrect

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

All clubs were asked to reveal their supplements programs and if I recall there was no further action. That's a fail James.

& I gather they actually had real documentation of what was given unlike essendon!

Just yet another hird attempt to distract from his major screwups.

 

[lethalselbow]

Even Robbo having a go.



Mark Robinson Verified account ‏@Robbo_heraldsun
Qs need asking. 1 Who told the players not tell ASADA about injections. 2 The text messages with Dank about Reid? Why the consent forms?

 

[Le Grille]

Hird really needs to ask his missus what the word "innocent" means, especially in a legal context. "Insufficient evidence" is not proof od innocence. All it means is it was deemed there wasn't enough evidence to prove the case. He keeps using the word "innocent" and it is becoming extremely annoying.

Im sure she'd take notes

 

[Tyrone Time]

agree. Hird threw him under the bus. Come on Dean, come out and defend yourself if Hird is incorrect

"I take full responsibility".
Do you know who said this?

 

[mxett]

I don't think he intended to dope either, and yet you are still being too generous to him. Dangerously incompetent, almost sociopathic in his refusal to acknowledge his mistakes, played with people's careers and lives and still only cares about himself. Exposed as a shit human being.

you did watch the interview didnt you?? How many times did Hird admit he made many mistakes?

 

[DERIBERATE]

If Elmo did this interview - he would have been destroyed in under 15 mins.

Fixed

"I take full responsibility".
Do you know who said this?

deflection

If Robinson was simply following instruction from Hird he'll no doubt come straight out and defend himself

 

[Just interested]

That interview was shithouse.

I wanna see an AFL 360 special with Gerard Whateley asking the questions.

I don't, because I still remember Whateley laughing, nay scoffing, at the B & M report on the Mex Hex being jabbed at Hooper's in Sth Yarra. He even concluded his rant with "COME ON?!" It took all of a few hours for the E'dope legal team to backpedal from threats to admissions B & M got it right.

And, Whateley never mentioned it again. Slobbo makes Whateley look......?....half reasonable, but that's a very low base to be bouncing off.

 

[TheEnsign]

agree. Hird threw him under the bus. Come on Dean, come out and defend yourself if Hird is incorrect

His settlement will 100% have confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses. Do you think he is going to give the $1m back just so he can refute the mean things James said about him?

Robinson won dude. Out of everyone at EFC, he won.

 

[hardway]

didn't watch the interview but from what i have read on this topic, its obvious Hird has also been banging Tracey.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Well that was boring as batshit.

Only thing of interest to me was he seemed to tread very carefully around Dank.

Me thinks Dank still has some dirt on Hird up his sleeve.

Thought exactly the same.

Admitted dank is the only one who knows what the players have taken... Yet not angry that he has come forward to clear his supposed innocent 34 players.

The only logical explanation is there is only incriminating evidence for not only the players but Hird too. He is worried if he pushes dank further there will be serious evidence thrown back at him.

Maybe he's not allowed, there was a $1m court settlement.
Confidentiality agreement etc.
