The worse thing about Essendon winning tonight is certain media outlets and Luke Darcy fawning over Hird and about how "brave and resilient Essendon have been this year given what they have gone through over the past six months" as though they are a victim
.
By the way, who was the journo asking Hird all those dorothy dixes?
"Oh Hirdy, how do you remain so composed with all that's been thrown at you and the Club?"
"Oh Hirdy, it must be frustrating that you haven't been given a chance to talk?"
"Oh Hirdy, you must be rapt with all the support the Club and the supporters have given you?"
"Oh Hirdy, it must reassure you that the Club will want you back?"
Then we had Darcy say "Oh what an amazing bloke Hirdy is for staying on to answer more questions when he didn't have to. Whatever you think he's done or not, you've just got to admire him"
For crying out aloud, he still thinks he's 99% innocent of the charges in the AFL charge sheet and he's still going on about how the public don't know the full story and they'll change their minds once they hear his and the full side of the story. Oh please!
