Sam Mitchell missed the 'let's all move on' memo.

[compact72]

Lloyd has dished out more goal assists in the first half of this Legends game than any five-year span of his career.

Must be an Essendon coach. Good at losing

 

[Hardhat11]

I was conceded why Essendon players did t fly the flag after Sam Mitchell did his syringe thing. Why didn't a player from Essendon go straight to Mitchell and remonstrate with him or confront him?

They meekly stood there and just looked like it was "yup you're right we are just that"

I'm staggered. I would have ran at me Mitchell and barrelled him - yup even if that means giving away a free.
Yet it took their coach to defend them and take a swipe at media and start the his crap again.

If the players had taken action on the field I suspect Sam Mitchell would have received instant feedback.
Like who the hell are you?

Poor by Essendon, on the sledge itself, hmmm it's probably been said a few times by opposition players and it looked worse because he did the hand thing so it made it look worse that it really was.

 

[Argy]

Actually think it'll come back to bite Mitchell, if he's in the game long enough.

Just like Albert was bitten by his Brisbane Lions intravenous sledge in 2001?

 

[Ron The Bear]

Just like Albert was bitten by his Brisbane Lions intravenous sledge in 2001?

Kinda, yeah.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Haha, Lloyd tried to deny that the low armband thing was taunting Brisbane.

Lloyd took part in the same documentary where Damien Hardwick confirmed that it was a shot at Brisbane.

First he said he didn't remember wearing one personally. Then he said he 'made some calls' and he was advised/reminded that it was also because Michael Long and someone else had to retire that week.

You couldn't make it up.

I recall a weekend not long ago on 3AW where they were discussing the fact that Lloyd had been a possibility to do some kick coaching at Collingwood on top of his Essendon duties.
From Friday night Football Preview to Sunday afternoon he changed his story three times as to what conspired between himself, Buckley and Hird.
And not just subtle slips of the tongue, complete contradictions to what he had stated the previous day(s).
Needs to start taking notes when telling porkies !!!

No, sledge your heart out I say. Its up to the players to retaliate either verbally or physically, they are grown men FFS, surely they can cop a bit of stick.
Hibberd should of hit back with a few barbs at Mitchell

I can't believe how meek Hibberd was. Just shows that mentally they are shot.

And yet, he did make it up. Lloyd, full of it again. If you're going to tell lies, you're going to need a great memory. Especially in this digital age, where often the truth is just a click away.

Sociopath gonna sociopath.

 

[Proper Gander]

What do you take me for?!! Generous seasoning and olive oil and 30 Min in the oven before anything

Notice you skirt around whether you toasted the pine nuts.

Yet another deflection

They're shells of real footballers at the moment, They simply have nothing left IMO, The rest of the year could get pretty ugly, I hope they have a 2nd wind though.

 

[MaddAdam]

Just another in a long line of Hird's blatant hypocrisies then cover ups and dissemblings.

Such a bullshit artist with the only defence being that he actually believes them.

Give him a break.

It must be bloody tough saddled with such a severe and persistent narcissistic personality disorder

Yep, your boys looked pretty flat in the second half last weekend, after a close but scrappy first half. I reckon they have given up 'playing for Hird'.
The sooner Hird is gone, the sooner your club can start to recover. Until then, I'll have (some) sympathy for your players, but none for Hird.

Removing Hird will do nothing, They will still face the CAS hearing, If they're found not guilty at the CAS the entire club including Hird can move on, If guilty then we will be torn apart.

Are you confident with CAS clearing them if it goes ahead?

I think the same and was the point I was trying to get across without expressly stating it. Next 2 weeks will tell whether this is in fact the case.

IMO the players directly associate CAS with Hird now.

Like I said, the next 2 weeks will firm things up. If the players can play well and respond to Hird (and the changes he makes), then I personally will equate them being mentally shot directly with CAS. If they do not respond, it will firm up in my mind that Hird has lost the players.

My 2 bobs worth.

 

[Milanista28]

I don't think I've been confident of anything since this started to be honest.

What do you mean by if it goes ahead?

Fair answer and honest !

WADA asked for the extension period to appeal, they may or may not proceed with it yet.

Oh ok fair enough, That's next week the end of the 45 days I think.

Yep. The 6th will be go or no go day for the appeal.

Nah.

Just because CAS can't prove what was in those needles, neither can you. Or you won't say.

Still got WorkCover taking a keen interest.
