Well said! And couldn't agree more about this thread becoming a wee bit confuzzled.

You might just be onto something. Give it a try and see

Nah, just tell the aliens to take off with Bruce Francis - that would surely save us all!
Well said.
It is amusing, isn't it ? You have to laugh.
Was WorkSafe part of the conspiracy? Does CAS somehow control Worksafe Victoria?
Did the Koolaid Klan complain about the fact the AFL only ever punished Essendon for the governance issues? They never ever punished EFC for the doping violations.
In fact, the AFL helped Essendon. They allowed them to have top-up players when nobody else could. They donated a priority pick in the 2015 draft, at the end of the first round. So in terms of draft penalty (the only penalty that really hurts an AFL team) the AFL punished the Crows more for hiding paperwork than they punished EFC for a systemic doping operation!
How do all those facts fit with the conspiracy theory?
The AFL also allowed Essendon to keep their number one pick in 2016, which was basically a reward for cheating. This is another example of the AFL supporting EFC, at the expense of the other 17 clubs.
Both Essendon and the AFL seem very keen to move on and put the whole saga behind us, so they can soon pretend it never happened.
The amusing thing is, that by allowing EFC to keep the number one pick, the AFL has also allowed the fall-out to drag on for a few more years.
Andy McGrath was the number one pick last year. By all reports a terrific footballer and probably a decent human being. Through no fault of his own, he will always be associated with the fact that he only got to Essendon because they were drug cheats. He might play for Essendon for the next 15 years, but any success they may enjoy while McGrath is involved, will always have an asterisk beside it.
The AFL have stuffed up again. The more they try to ignore the problem, the more they prolong and fester the whole situation.

With due respects to Hird and his problem, I am just totally sick of reading articles about him. Right from the start he had that smug (I am always right) look about him when interviewed, so I took little regard of what he was saying, as he seemed to enjoy lying just to stay in the headlines. When he had the bicycle accident, he even said he was siding to training for the exercise, when, in fact Tania had taken the Kia when she moved out.
Now before everyone jumps on me about his mental illness, let me remind you of the little boy who cried wolf. I'm sorry, James but I have little, or no sympathy for you as in my opinion, you dug the hole yourself.
This is only my opinion.
Sorry for the intrussion but I had to laugh.
That's ok,Everyone on bigfooty has been laughing at the shit on your board for the last 4 years buddy

Anyone else find it funny how the Hird family asked for the media to leave them alone, yet a few days later hirds dad is in the media having a go at, well everyone? So which is it? Do you want the media discussing you or not?
Almost Diana Princess of Wales like if you ask me - wanting it both ways

Allan and James haven't exactly had the greatest relationship if it's all to be believed.
They didn't talk much for a time, apparently.

No different to any other even moderately famous person. Happy to use the media when it suits them, hates the media when they intrude.
BTW has anyone else been banned from the main board Hird thread? I have had no notice about posts being deleted, and didnt put anything inflamatory or offensive there yet it seems Im banned - because other people are still posting so its not just shut down for all. It was shit compared to the Bay thread - so Im guessing it was an Essendon supporting mod who did it because he is a giant douchey sook.

Peptide mobile more like it.
If Hird's Dad had told the press what his son did, what Dank did, what everyone in the saga did, rather than just call everyone else bullies and c*nts, then I might have a bit of respect. He just continued the unsupported, self serving, narrative started by James back in 2013.
Sounded a lot like his buddy Bruce Francis

If you want the media to not be out the front of your house, you need Campbell Browns dad to help.

Met her once. Absolutely stunning. Cameras could never do her justice.
Unfortunately we never got around to discussing directions. I was never a real fan, though, particularly towards her latter years.
