My mum has those nice old sayings too.Well my dad thinks Hird's dad is as silly as a two bob watch.
So there!
"As nutty as a fruit cake" is one that also applies.

What concern is it of old man Hird's that Watson keeps his medal? The club will recover, but the asterisk in the list of Brownlow winners stays forever. He doesn't want his son remembered as the bloke who cost the captain a Brownlow. It's all about the Hird legacy. Perhaps the discerning will view it like a Martin/Charlie Sheen thing?
Should be more concerned about the health of the players after his son allowed a witchdoctor to have his way.
Is anyone actually discussing that in here?The Allan. T. Hird stand at Windy Hill will not be renamed and it's pointless discussing it. Allan Hird was an important administrative figure at Essendon in days long gone by (NB...A LONG TIME AGO) and a decent player too. He made the tough but correct call to ditch Dick Reynolds as coach- an action Essendon's later administration should have taken much earlier with James Hird, you might reflect- and the successor (one John Coleman) coached Essendon to two flags in the 1960s. Job well done and important place in the annals of club history secured.
All of that is not changed in the slightest is by what his grandson did or didn't do, so it's an utter waste of time discussing it. Frivolous trolling, in fact.

Sorry Doss, I can't see it. Maybe I have someone on ignore?Yes Jenny. Read page four of this thread.
It's not the first time I've seen it come up either.
Sorry Doss, I can't see it. Maybe I have someone on ignore?
Nah. I figure people can read back if they wish.Sorry Doss, I can't see it. Maybe I have someone on ignore?
Ah, no, it's cool I've got it now. Apologies. Might have been nice if you'd actually quoted the post you were referring to though.
wouldn't it be more sensible for you to just assume that a reasonable poster like Doss hasn't just gone completely bonkers and has just made something like that up for some inexplicable reason?Sorry Doss, I can't see it. Maybe I have someone on ignore?

Many a reasonable poster has gone completely bonkers over this Shit.wouldn't it be more sensible for you to just assume that a reasonable poster like Doss hasn't just gone completely bonkers and has just made something like that up for some inexplicable reason?
Grandstands have been renamed beforeHence people suggesting things like a grandstand named after a person who died nine years ago being renamed because of his grandson.
I mean it's just one example, but there you go.
Curious.Grandstands have been renamed before

The John elliot stand at princess park Carlton
Yep, fair comment. I did read back through whole thread and couldn't find anything. Was on the iPad so thought it must have been from someone I had on ignore.wouldn't it be more sensible for you to just assume that a reasonable poster like Doss hasn't just gone completely bonkers and has just made something like that up for some inexplicable reason?
Gees you still think they ain't guilty?The AFL tribunal was more in accordance with the worldwide standard of proof of "Beyond reasonable doubt"
The CAS standard is the very definition of a kangaroo court.
All this hoo-ha of lying on forms was Mcdevitt grasping at straws to imply guilt.
If this was the basis for guilt in an a actual legal hearing, it would have got laughed out of court.
Gees you still think they ain't guilty?
Not reallyNot even the entire CAS panel thought they were all guilty.
It wasn't a unanimous decision, which says a lot.

Not really
I'd like a break down of their actual belief, ie we know they are guilty I'm not convinced you found all the info to 100% prove it and I don't like this thing called reasonable doubt.
And that's where our beliefs differ.
I want proof in a guilty verdict. Not speculation, assumption or "strands in a cable"
Beyond reasonable doubt is the standard used to prevent gross injustices.
Just think if the players needed prove reputation loss .
That's easy. It's everywhere on this forum.
