AFL Rd 13 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon

[Mav]

Yep, that’s a real possibility. The AFL has shot itself in the foot by saying there’s no issue with Hird assisting McVeigh. That makes it hard for them to block his return to Essendon. We can count on Caro to express disgust but there are plenty of pro-Essendon media people who will champion his cause. I hope there will be some courageous journos who are willing to interrogate Hird at press conferences about what steps he’ll take to ensure there’ll be no unsupervised injection programs again on his watch. And they’d have to be courageous as Essendon wouldn’t install Hird without first compiling Bevo-style dirt files on them and mounting influence campaigns to keep them in line.
