Baa, baa, baa. You disppoint me, sir.

Peter Costello is a former federal liberal treasurer and Essendon No.1 ticket holder. Essendon - does this ring a bell, somewhere.

Enough said, just another bias article.

But, I will be glad when it is finished.

He's dug the boot into the sport of AFL and indicated the press conference was a stunt. He's right on both accounts, not biased.

I would expect whatever sweetheart deal the AFL made with Hird would include non-disclosure agreements, and having your wife do your blabbing for you is unlikely to get around those. If he isn't careful Hird could be sacked without the need for a payout as surely he'd be in breach of his contract by badmouthing the company he works for through a 3rd party?

Of course if the wife is simply going off what she alone witnessed and not telling stories hubby has filled her in on then the AFL are well and truly f**ked, as they'll have no recourse to reel her in (unless of course they were smart enough to get her to sign some sort of agreement as well).

Not according to his lawyer:

While Hird has effectively been gagged by the AFL ? he agreed to a non-disparagement clause when he signed deeds of settlement with the league last year that formalised his suspension ? Burnside said this did not extend to his wife.

?That would be extraordinary,? Burnside said on Friday morning, of the proposition that Hird could be sacked over the latest criticism tabled publicly by his wife.
?And I?m sure that Essendon and Paul Little are much more intelligent than to do something like that because that would raise pretty obvious employment issues, apart from anything else.

This next week is going to be huge.

Mark my words, charges will be laid within the next week.

from July 2013

Look if you keep saving all of my posts on your computer like I'm sure you do eventually some of what I say might end up sounding stupid.

But we will know what if any consequences will arise from all this in the first half of August. Now save this post and come back August 16th. I bet I'll be proven right. Answers, of whatever nature they may be, will be known in the first half of August.

This process is closer to the end than the start.

from December 2013

We are very close to showtime. Our long national nightmare is almost over. Today is judgment day. Any punishments to clubs will be handed very soon. Players will get it if they get it very early in January.

The sooner the better. This has dragged on too long.

February 2014

Judgment day is almost upon us. Our long national nightmare is almost over. Any and all responsible for wrongdoing are about to be punished severely.

Expect dozens of 12-24 month bans across both codes.

Oh dear. I was wrong once or twice, just like the media was wrong. But this time is different. The month of March (2014) is when it'll all happen.

The Ides of March was big for Caesar. I think you'll see that time (mid March) will be big for the Australian sport.

What is happening with Downes is separate to the matter of issuing infractions. The meaningless legal crap will be later. I really don't care about people going to jail. Equally I don't care about rich men suing other rich men and rich organisations.

The stuff that could affect the footy will happen in March. Infractions if any will be handed out in March.

so it''s D Day once again although it was supposed to happen mid march

Spot on, and she has physical evidence (as a self proclaimed note taker). Notes taken in chronological order. That is the real story.

Nah , she doesn't , she has evidence of a phone call that happened in July between David Evans and James Hird, she has nothing on the AFL

So the Sharks have re-signed Flanagan for another 3 years. Not sure that was such a smart move. They should have taken the opportunity to start moving on from all this.
