Clearly anything to do with Essendon puts you into hyperbolic overdrive - my guess is that plenty of other coaches would have had issues with the David Hille incident - Leigh Matthews, the Kray twins, Clarko just off the top of my head.
Then is no hyperbole in the Hille story about Sheedy berating him, it's been written about before in the media, nobody denies it and I know his father personally.
