Good hearted. White. 3 ex 'wives'. Bagpiper. Love cats and bourbon. Philosophical. Australian. My goals were all BS. As Homer said: "the journey is the thing".

@MattaesMarshall @Thomo_Grant Run amok in the backline; perhaps get reported bashing THEIR forwards; perhaps get carted off after a do-or-die effort. It is after all a GF. Gloves are off. I'm old school.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@MattaesMarshall @Thomo_Grant OK. But I reckon the fans would prefer the vice versa...i.e shithouse in the prelims but GREAT in the Grand Finals. Not having a real go at R...still have him in any 2000s team. In hindsight coach should have moved him to CHB or FB when he was out-of-sync.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@FootyonNine @CalTwomey Appetite for coaching again or for a quick 'n easy $6 million? He quit the Swans claiming he was burnt out... Twelve years without a flag yet four attempts. Speculation is he might have mental health issues (i.e depression); declined a psych test requested by Melbourne. Red Flag

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@richxmanx @Thomo_Grant You know I'm not a straw man. Behave. So you expect these young naive 18yo footballers, who've never left home before, to be as wise and experienced as you?

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@john_macgowan Why would a man as smart as you state something as dumb as this? Do you want engagement.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@LeeHatherell @EthNick_ OK, nice chatting with you.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@EthNick_ @LeeHatherell @AFL Good point. Anabolic steroids are a GREAT panacea for weakness and/or old age. In fact Shane Warne's mum realized this and apparently slipped the stuff into his weetbix unbeknownst. Shane was unfairly blamed by some for this 😂

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@LeeHatherell @EthNick_ Yeah, of course Hird did "some of that". He scared off Bruce who was too weak imo to assert his proper authority. Hird thought Bruce was old fashioned. He therefore believed 'the modern' Dank, who had excellent refs from ex Geelong's Dean Robinson/Bomber Thompson who Essnd hired

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@LeeHatherell @EthNick_ Got to be more pro-active than write an arms length letter then sulk off imho. You're in charge of THE country's sporting elite. If 'strangers' are going to start injecting yr kids I'd want a club medico alongside as well as numerous samples fr independent testing/safekeeping.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@LeeHatherell @EthNick_ Incompetent club doctors and incompetent admin STAINED the club (not fkd). Not Hird and certainly not the young naive trusting players. D'ya think Dank's going to tell anyone if he's slipping steroids into the mix? Then destroying the evidence.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@richxmanx @Thomo_Grant ASADA didn't mislead they just dared the young naive trusting players to legally PROVE the 'supplements' weren't banned, or else (i.e guilty until proven innocent). Of course the players themselves couldn't.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@richxmanx @Thomo_Grant Those supplements could have been exactly that...i.e 'supplements'. Bcz Dank and the club didn't have any legit samples fr testing ASADA then smeared the players by stating they were illegal steroids until proven wrong, which obviously the players couldn't do. Club doctors fkd up

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@richxmanx @Thomo_Grant Doctors were silent. Silence means consent. Young trusting players were none the wiser. Either directly, or indirectly, they were MISLEAD. And so was Hird.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@TheGoatTax60 @AussieVal10 If yr single healthy and strong 'homeless' tent living is still better than paying $300 a week rent.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@Edwin11Tommy @essendonfc Hird didn't cause the problems. Dank lied. The club doctors f**ked up. They should have stopped it and secured samples of the injectables for testing. Dr Bruce Reid didn't do enough imo and Hird foolishly protected him instead of the club.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@essendonfc All well and good now bring back Hird ASAP. Erase the stain that ASADA placed on Essendon and football generally WITHOUT EVIDENCE. Simply smearing young innocent players, following club doctors' approval, and then saying the onus was now on them to 'clear their name'. F**k that

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@baba_energy @CampbellNewman @AlboMP @JEChalmers Harley.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@baba_energy @CampbellNewman @AlboMP @JEChalmers Yeah...Newman gave Australia its first glimpse of 'jackboot Government', probably bcz of a little man sizewise syndrome. Instead of illegal 'hate groups' it was designated illegal 'criminal gangs'--i.e anyone who was/looked like a bikie. So Dads with a Harly were being rounded up

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@yowie021 @Thomo_Grant Daisey needs to pull his head in. As a media man he should realize that a Hird comeback would make his job easier. Lots to talk about for the next 3 years while the rumbling Bomber army is placated.

[Greg @alerted_Greg]

@Thomo_Grant A wise man (Des Colquhoun...anyone remember?) remarked that "bullshit" was just as important as 'the ball' when it came to AFL football; in fact any football. Its filled the sports pages for decades. So yes 'sentimentality' is GOLD. Its what helps pay for the game. Bums on seats.
