Apparently Patrick Ryder was " lucky" according to Hird
Is there a more bitter twisted person involved in the sport?

Re: Round 17 Discussion

Folks brace yourselves for a lot of frees tomorrow .
Brace yourself for idiotic blocking shepherding free kicks that aren't there.
Regardless of what Brad Scott thinks of aspects of Harvey's game, making it public is just plain silly.
The guy deserves better than that, and if anything it's going to hurt Scott .
I'm all for the club interest over the player, but airing his future publicly is just Scott playing the pseudo tough guy

Agree totally. Absolute disgrace to a guy who was playing at the top level when Brad Scott was running around in short pants sucking icy poles. Akin to that knob Brian Dixon stating publicly that Ted Whitten was not guaranteed a game when he turned up at cellar dwellers North in 1971.

Re: Round 17 Discussion

I am still angry with that moron Eddie saying after Friday nights game that the AFL needs to prop up Carlton and Essendon for the good of the competition. In other words *!*!*!*! the rest of the teams and let's play Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Hawthorn every Friday night.

Well Eddie, you know what the Hawks have 70,000 members yet the crowd on Friday night was 26,000. Co tenant Essendon only had 20k odd for their match. When we were up and winning in 2008 to 2010 we were averaging 40,000 a match at Etihad.

How can you have a healthy competition if only a few clubs are given exposure.

Hird lost the plot when he fell under the spell of Steven 'Svengali' Danks. Until then his life had been like a Hollywood 'feel good' movie - as wholesome as apple pie. The 'Golden Boy' who could do no wrong as a player, the accumulator of the game's highest awards, feted by the AFL, fawned upon by the media, sanctified by the Essendon faithful had returned to Windy Hill to fulfill his destiny and leads the Dons to another triumphant premiership - 'whatever it takes!'
With 'Svengali' Steve on board, ably assisted by his retinue of contacts from the murky world of Supplements Central, aka Gymland, led by Dr Ageless, the Dons would leave no phial un-opened in their quest for the Holy Grail.
But then the movie began to flicker. The screen went grey, as did Golden Boy's visage as he steadfastly parried blows, aimed at his previously spotless reputation, from the baying media. Then the movie stopped altogether and our star took a sabbatical to hone his business skills. And all the while the cream on the apple pie was curdling. Black mold began to appear on the crust, soon to be followed by grey toxic-looking spores. And the whole rotten thing began to smell like the fumes that emanate from a cook's illicit back-yard lab.
Maybe Golden Boy should have spent his sabbatical honing his PR skills. But then again maybe not. I doubt that even the late Harry M. Miller could make the pie fit for human consumption again.

Re: Round 17 Discussion

This team is so confusing. In no universe is anyone ahead of Goldstein for first ruck. Shane Savage got dropped a couple of times earlier this year! By a bottom 4 side!! And how Roughead misses 3 games then pushes out Kennedy and his 25 more goals is a mystery to me.

At least Hill is gone.
