Seems that way doesnt it. 2 resignations from guys having inappropriate relations.

As a woman, why do the women involved here get off scott free. As far as I'm concerned all four of them were wasting their time working on their inappropriate relationships rather than doing their jobs.

Disgraceful decision. It's the AFL saying to the fans and the general public, f*** you.

The power imbalance makes it a more significant workplace issue, in the context of most contracts requiring senior people to disclose these sorts of activities. Probably a situation that would have you question the judgment of your senior executives.

We can only hope that the replacement head of football shows some sense and dumps this idea and Hird back in the toilet.

It is the AFL's way of saying f*** you to ASADA and WADA and the drugs in sport code.
The AFL signed on to the code to get massive wads of money from the federal government but they were never really committed to the drugs in sport code.
That is why Essendon and the players got off so lightly until WADA stepped in and took the case to the international arbiters.

I will boo the cheating team tonight.
What a pity Jobe won't be playing but he will hear me from his seat.
I will boo the AFLs executives in September along with the excrement Hird.
And it won't be racist.

I agree with you on this one Ace. Lets get Ben Johnson to present the gold medal to the mens 100 champ at the olympics while we are at it.

And Armstrong to present the Tour medals!

The afl will now contrive to get the cheating Bummers to the GF, ensure they win it so Tird can hang the NS around Digger Watson's fat neck. They'll move Anzac Day to GF day in a one off celebration of the red and black heroes who conquered adversity.

Some really big overreaction a here, it's not that big a deal. He won it in 2000, hence he should do the role that every other norm Smith medallist has done in the past.

Would take some very large kahunas for him to get up in front of everyone like that though

Feel sorry for Billings. Not fair that all he can hear is the booing when he collects his Norm Smith later this year.

Cannot believe this guy is getting welcomed back with open arms. What next, a global pardon for Adolf Hitler? Goes to show that club (and the AFL) has no standards :evil:

They used to introduce Jack Hamilton of the AFL on GF day - until he got booed, then he just appeared on stage without any announcement - so no chance to boo.

This is what they will do with Hird.

Such a shame to see 100,000 people booing one man. I don't like cheating, but I like Lynch mobs even less.

People dont like cheats, especially drug cheats. Did you hear the booing when 2 time drug cheat Justin Gatlin beat Usain Bolt in the World champs overnight. The average punter knows he shouldnt be there. 2 drug offences is normally a life ban. The paying public has every right to voice their objection

Hird confirmed presenting Norm Smith

But I won't be booing, as he'll be presenting it to Luke Dunstan for a matchwinning 3 goal 36 disposal game :D

Yes but those oversized kahunas, and possibly other enlarged organs are all the result of "supplements". Don't forget that Jimbo was reported as having suffered some very indelicate side effects from his narcissistic desire for a better tan.........

Agree with Jiggingsaint and Prophet on this one. Maybe just don't clap if you don't like him but booing??? It denigrates the actual medal to whoever wins it. Yeah I know, the AFL have already done that by allowing him to present it, but why perpetuate it?

Perhaps the most dignified way to show disapproval or otherwise, is to simply be silent.

Being silent is pointless.

Booing loud and proud shows three things
- The AFL needs to understand what a stupid decision this is.
- Hird needs to understand just how much he is hated and loathed by the vast majority of the football public.
- and what better way for the fans to work off some of that rage that built up during the years that Essendon turned our beloved game into a soap opera.
