Peptides! The *Essendrug Dopers: come smell the bull****! -PART 2

[Ned Ryerson]

The fact that Kevin Sheedy would feel the need to clarify this publicly shows you how much influence Hird has still at Essendon.

So the next time someone wants to tell you "JaMEs didn'T knOW" in 2012......

I just ask them to explain the text messages he had with Dank and they tend to shut up pretty quickly.

"Now now! Don't go lumping me in with those guys. I want to make it perfectly clear that I voted for the guy who didn't get the job. Yes, the one who deeply shamed and almost destroyed this club."

What makes it even more crazy is that Yze was supposed to be the other possibility ie #2 preference. But it appears irrespective of the panel's thinking Hirdy was always numero uno for Sheeds. What a crazy old fart so full of himself.

Shows Sheedy has no perspective and I dare say a very short remaining tenure on the Essendon Board.

Madden and Wellman walked because Sheedy had lost the plot and they couldn’t stand it anymore. The dumping of Rutten was engineered by Sheedy (with a view to re-installing Hird).

Good to see the board didn’t follow him on the second part of the plan.

 

[lethalselbow]

Keep it up Sheeds! Let the undermining of Scott begin! Drip, drip, drip...

 

[The hands of stone]

What value is Sheedy delivering sitting on the board?

Great value to all non * supporters

Not only is Sheedy fully endorsing an appointment (of Hird) that would have been an utterly stupid decision by that football club, he is essentially undermining the newly appointed coach on the very day his appointment is announced. Consider that - a member of the board is publicly questioning the appointment of the new coach on the very first day. Welcome to Essendon Mr Brad Scott - your position as coach is being undermined at the board level from the very moment you start.

This - if he wanted to let Hird know he voted for him he could have called him and let him know. To make it so public just erodes confidence in the new coach on day 1 of the job. That’s a blisteringly stupid move from a director. Surely the other board members are working now to remove him because he’s an utter liability.

Hird was never happening. PR stunt.

On his last legs and he knows it..

You’re right - blistering stupidity by Sheedy.

But also proactively very utterly blistering stupidity by the board as a whole and presumably by its chairman.
if the decision wasn’t unanimous, you don’t under any circumstances put out an announcement and say “fully endorsed”.
All you have to say is that it was a board decision, and any minority director makes no comment.
In doing so, it virtually compels Sheedy, as he has done, to say - hang on I didn‘t vote for Scott.

From a governance point of view, that’s almost as bad as multiple emails coming from Hawthorn president Andrew Newbold, under his name, on a critically sensitive subject, in a dialogue with a Hawthorn indigenous family, with Newbold declaring after the event that he knew nothing about those emails!! Simply gobsmacking.

I’m not up with board etiquette but the phrase “fully endorsed” doesn’t mean anything. Sheedy clearly saw it as meaning “unanimous” which led to him making his public explanation.

Public undermining of the club is more apt.

Board discussions are robust and not everyone is happy with the result. However once a position is reached, the board provides a unified front and supports such even if vehemently opposed personally.

Otherwise you are a rabble.

Essendon are a rabble.

Messenger and Taita …..
I don’t like Sheedy at all but have sympathy with his public position on this issue.

Messenger - “fully endorsed” most certainly has meaning, why else would the Essendon chairman use those words?
Whilst it’s not a legal term as such, “fully” means completely or entirely. “Endorsed“ means “”approved”.
The board most certainly did not completely or entirely approve Scott’s appointment. This isn’t merely being pedantic. All the chairman had to say was that the board “approved” the appointment.

I reckon it was probably a deliberate and provocative slight against Sheedy -as if to say - “what are you going to do about it, pal?”

All that has done is prove Taita’s point - the Essendon board is a rabble but we already knew that, didn’t we?

Mississippi, we may agree to disagree on this but I think that the use of "fully" is redundant. If a board passes a resolution by any margin it is endorsed. "Fully endorsed" is, in my opinion, just sloppy English.

If they wanted to say it was approved by the entire board then say it was unanimously endorsed. For such a critical appointment, precision in language is important.

Essendon being a rabble is assumed.

It was fully endorsed by everyone that counts

Resigned from NAB during the banking Royal Commission. At the time he was there NAB had governance issues galore - fits in perfectly with * culture.

If he knows drugs are bad, he is ahead of some of the recent board members

Sheedy is a loose unit but has still had a lot of sway for a long time
Footy clubs fall into this legend bullshit all the time.

Looking fwd to Sheeds coming out tonight saying he voted for Hird to be CEO.

Sloppy English is;

a) the way Brits like their breakfast

b) lingua franca for the AFL and assorted hangers-on
