Moods, would you be happy if it was Shane Martin who was up on the dias presenting the Norm Smith?
I wouldn't boo ANYONE who was asked to present the Norm Smith medal. Just cheapens the day and the persons winning awards the way I see it.

Shane Martin hasn't earned the right to present the Norm Smith. Whether you like or hate James Hird he has definitely earned the right. Booing ppl, for me, is for umpires and cheap hits that occur during the game.
Hird should not have been asked in the first place, he has lost the said 'right'!

Yes, Tirdy earnt the right (past tense), but then he lost it (present and future tense).
Just as Lance Armstrong did an equivalent in cycling.
One difference though...
Lance Armstrong has been banned from cycling for life.

I neither love nor hate Tirdy.
I do though, hate what he has done.
And I hate how the AFL tried to sweep it all under the carpet at the time.
And I hate how they are still trying to downplay, actually, more like whitewash what Effendope (including Tirdy) did.
And I hate how if it had been our club instead of Effendope, well it's pretty unlikely that we'd still be around. And nor should we be!
And under WADA rules, nor should Effendrug still be around.
![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
So yes, Tirdy bloody well should have been booed!!! And yes, so should the AFL have bloody well been booed too, for their ongoing shabby cover up!!!
It's Dave, man. Will you open up? I got the stuff with me! -------Who?
Dave, man. Open up ------------------------------------------ -----Dave???
Yeah, Dave. ---------------------------------------------------------Dave's not here.

Talk of Channel 7 dropping the volume off the stadium microphones at the very moment James was on stage.Moods wrote:No they didn't. A few idiots booed and that was itsaintbrat wrote:and a fair percentage did
USELESS FACT: The WADA case against Essendon (in Sydney as well) is exactly 10 years to the day that Australia qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

I was at the game. Haven't heard what Ch7 did or didn't do. As I said, a few booed, a few applauded, most, like myself, remained mute.IanRush wrote:Talk of Channel 7 dropping the volume off the stadium microphones at the very moment James was on stage.Moods wrote:No they didn't.

Re: 100,000 people booing as one
I wonder if we would ask Hirdy to join our assistant coaching ranks like Leppa at the tigers?
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!
