The AFL welcomes back man who was centrepiece in orchestrating Australia's worst ever episode of sports drug cheating

[King-Eliagh]

Yep, they've welcomed him back with open arms. Ol jimmy 'golden boy' hird as they call him has been formally invited to present the coveted norm smith medal at the 2017 AFL gf!





And Ol jimmy, who seems to be in hiding somewhere in Europe has apparently accepted the invitation.

I guess it's all in the past eh? You know, the injecting pig brains stuff? The risking players health stuff? The let's treat a team of hard working professional footballers like human Guinea pigs in some bizarre large scale Frankenstein esque secret scientific experiment stuff? Yeah I guess that's just how the AFL rolls

It's quite amazing really. But I guess if you take into account the current CEOs support for bringing back two sleazy bag employees who look odds on to have abused their standing as senior execs to recieve sexual gains from much younger female employees... Then I guess we can say one thing... At least the AFL is consistent!!!

Dear lord, what on earth is this organisation doing on this planet???

[NlolRL]

Hiding........he's importing chocolates for a job. He's been seen around town recently too.

If Hird was seen as culpable ASADA or WADA would have charged him with an offence, just like they charged and punished Steven Dank.

I think it's totally reasonable Hird was invited back. He's been punished by the AFL and should be allowed to move forward

[King-Eliagh]

So ahhh are you suggesting that ummm... hahaha.... that Hird should not be viewed as culpable?

Struth, please don't say that's what you're suggesting here nlol!

Struth, please don't say that's what you're suggesting here nlol!

his level of culpability wasnt even worthy of charges from ASADA or WADA, yet Dank's was. What does that tell you?

[AFLcrap1]

Oh my
You fumblers live in a far different reality than normal people

[NlolRL]

Oh my
You fumblers live in a far different reality than normal people

Hahaha, tossball fans just accept the shark's pathetic punishment. They even won your GF recently. What a severe penalty for cheating that was

They accepted a deal
Essingbong didn't
Essingbongs peptide program went about 2 years
Sharks about 2 months
Big difference

NRL let ASADA investigate with no interference
AFL tried to interfere ..do dodgy deals ..
Lol
Anytime you want to discuss this I'll start a thread .
Lol
Will be fun .
Now back on track
Letting a piece of shit like hird present a medal is laughable .
Why not a cleanskin....someone who hasn't dragged the name of a club through the shit .

I just laugh at you poor braindead fucks
Defend defend defend ....no matter what happens in this sport it's straight to defence .

I don't like hird and think what he did was a disgrace and no way should he give the norm smith or have any formal capacity in the AFL.

[AFLcrap1]

Yep
Fred is there any recently retiring or retiring at seasons end players who are well respected,had a long & illustrious career & liked by fans of other clubs .

Why not them ..

[NlolRL]

The person presenting the norm smith medal is a past winner. They go through in order, and this year falls on the year Hird won it

[AFLcrap1]

Lol
& he should be disqualified from presenting it due to his part in the drug saga .

[NlolRL]

Obviously the AFL dont believe his role was significant enough to warrant banishment. Maybe if he received a life ban like Dank it may be different

[King-Eliagh]

You're partly right wookie. Partly.

The Essendon drug cheating saga was Australia's single worst episode in pro sports. Ever. Ol golden boy simply doesn't deserve to be honoured ever again.

I mean, the AFL have no shame really. They invited the convicted drug user who was involved in a teenage girls death to present the same medal some years ago. At least Ol a let had the decency to decline the offer...

[Fred]

The other issue to remember is that Hird recently tried to suicide over this incident. Having a good part of a 1000000 crowd boo him is not likely to be to favourable to his mental health.
