did heard really call them cheats for saline drips?
what a knob gobbler.
It should be standard practice after playing in hot conditions, but as usual the AFL are all over the shop like a mad womans crap on these things.
It should also be standard practice after a night on the turps. that and then a shot of morphine makes a hangover disappear completely
According to Akermanis, Hird was running around mouthing off to all the Lions' players about their saline drip use (which the AFL banned prior to the 2001 finals from memory). Going by this and Damo's find, Hird was big on 'do what I say but don't do as I do' .
Precious narcissist. The worst sort of narcissist.
Whatever suits his narrow agenda.
Bingo! #Whateverittakes
Hird thinks he's the golden child who can do no wrong and anything that goes wrong is someone else's fault and he's always the victim
. The EFC as a whole just adds to that cult belief by continually cowering to Hird's demands and threats. The tail certainly wags the dog at Windy Hill. Hird is so deluded about himself and devoid of any responsibility that he just doesn't want to accept that he has to go before the Bombers can move on. While that club chickens out and fails to sack Hird, it just sinks further into the mire. No amount of continually playing the victim and wallowing in self-pity from coach, chairman and now captain 'I don't enjoy my footy anymore' Jobe, can hide that reality.
The only good thing is the rest of us won't have to worry about the Bombers for the next decade at least
