    Unbelievable.

    There is no one James Hird won't try to drag down with him.

    First says that the club was wrong to self report. Then that the AFL threatened him to take the 12 months. Maintains the club did nothing wrong. A greater narcissist I have never seen.

    What was even more bizarre was he swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help himself. I'm not sure which of 4 statements was the most deluded.

    Yes but as James Hird IS God, God will forgive James Hird.... (At least that's the take on things between Jimmy's giant ears!)

    Would it be fair to assume Hird will go down screaming no matter the cost due to the fact that if he is found guilty he would be susceptible to civil suits from players etc?

    Of anyone who has commented on this sorry saga he would seem the one with the least grip on reality.

    Had to chuckle when he said that Hird had revolutionised the club. Wasn't that part of the problem?

    Sigh... Stalin revolutionised The USSR even further than Lenin. Revolution isn't in and of itself a good thing as you point out, especially when based on fear, delusion and a leader with a god complex... Sigh...

    The most ridiculous thing is that for some reason or another, its as if they think that James Hird is the only one who can coach their club.

    The haven't won a final in over a decade (only Richmond has a longer drought) and haven't finished higher than 8th during that time. I think as a club they're out of ideas and are pinning their hopes to a messiah, which no doubt Hird is telling them his is.

    He's not the messiah, but he certainly is a very naughty boy.

    Re: ASADA issues show-cause notices to Essendon players

    How on earth can the narcissist go back there and coach?
    This whole circus doesn't deride the fact that Essendon put the health of their young men at serious risk.
    Let nothing try and deflect that, although cult hird seems more interested in his own hide.
    It's hard to fathom he even kyboshed Ziggy's report on the happenings at club peptides!
    Just pathetic
