Niall and his ‘Hird Truthers’ … Embarrassing journalism. What does Truthers mean? Is that meant to be an insult? And his comment regarding the payout: "Some saw this as a win for Essendon, which is interesting, given that the club is paying a million in advance … ". Sorry Jake but how else could it be perceived? Yes it cost a lazy million, but it was a million we wanted to pay James Hird. The AFL was trying to stop us, remember?
Tate’s article is unworthy of comment, and the decision by the AFL to prevent Hird from attending the Christmas party is just laughable.
Interesting that a News Ltd journo pushed Fahey on his ‘charges coming in February’ comment and he admitted it was based on no new information.

I read it too, had to laugh that he admits that his comments were based, on the back of general conversations/discussions, what he had read in the media and had not read the interim report.
Hope that door slams him hard on the ■■■■ on his way out.
Off site Christmas!
Hird attends Black Ops Christmas!
So now the AFL is trying to micromanage the Deed, another case of "we really meant to put into the Deed that Hird couldn't attend Christmas parties but it was an oversight".
How many more "implied" conditions are going to come up over the next 12 months?
AFL is a joke.

To be held in the dungeon. BYO peptides and Hird will be a secret santa. Oh wait, l guess his ban means he is not allowed to attend the EFC Christmas party either. We better send to AFL a please explain, or better yet Neil Mitchell can ask Vlad to give us the lowdown, l mean if anyone knows the intricacies of these secret Christmas negotiations and deals, it would be Dear Leader, well wouldn't it?
We need a date.
And we need Hird to come back on that date.
And it needs to be public knowledge.
It doesn't matter in what capacity he returns in, he just has to return.
The time for this is now.
That way, every day is a fark you to everyone who hates Essendon.
Every single day.
Countdown clock on the scoreboard after every Essendon goal

Sure, even when he's wrong he's right. Just ask him
Also, and forgive me for rehashing the first chapter of this mini saga (the Hird pay issue) but it just occurred to me that what with the time value of money and the opportunity cost of investment the overall effect of pay coming in the form of a lump sum is a great benefit to Hird. That worked well, AFL, didn't it?
