death to essendon

[Judge Roughneck]

Neil Young QC starts for Essendon saying AFL and ASADA started a joint investigation without agreement of club or Hird

 

[Judge Roughneck]

god Neil Young talks slow 

hope hes not the one on 20k for the day...

[Judge Roughneck]

judge has already made up his mind me thinks 

[Judge Roughneck]

Judge: Even if those ASADA acted unlawfully acting with the AFL, if the notices are based on lawful evidence then they still stand, yes?
Hird Lawyer: well yes, but but but but

[Judge Roughneck]

David Grace:

The poor players were held to the standards of the playing contract they signed.

 that the players weren't given the option to lie.


 

[WilliamPowell]

They stopped for lunch back at 2.15

No more cameras for the remainder of the trial

[Yeahright]

So are we meant to know if the players are getting charged by the end of the 3(?) day trial?

the poor yet well played players appear to be in line to sue the club

Middleton says "Even if club and coach are successful in their appeal, nothing prevents asada from starting again or continuing the investigation"

Nice!

[Judge Roughneck]

James hird on the stand now. Playing the Nuremberg defense

Befehl ist Befehl

Such a poo person is hird.

Spearheads the implementation of peptides and more upon a generation of kids,
goes overseas and comes back trying to lag anyone he can.

What a piece of work~~

This is fantastic to watch, full knowing he's stuffed and is just grasping at straws, all the while killing his perceived public image every time he makes a call.

Said it back on page ..... well who knows but it was a while ago 40 pages perhaps

With friends like James you really don't need enemies

And please give me a break he signed that deed of understanding with the AFL (his agreed punishment) because he felt pressued and under extreme duress....

He must really think we are morons

[dwaino]

Disgusting that this is a trial about the legality of the investigation, not what they took. Just reading through comments here and on BF and stuff it sounds like the AFL may get cop a whack but the show cause notices will stand. How can Hird honestly expect to stay in the AFL after this? He is throwing just about everyone under the bus as he goes. Grow up and take some responsibility you gimp.

Agree.
Great that the afl is in the mix.
Pathetic how much of a lagging rat dog Hird is, to save his own, already tarnished arse
