I don't think he should be continually battered in the media, but he doesn't deserve a lot of forgiveness and sympathy. We all have our views, and it should probably be left for individual discussion and debate from hereon in.Bombers4EVA wrote:How many ex players have made bad decisions and have been forgiven and moved on?

Which other ex-players are you referring to? Hird's crime was twofold - he sought an unfair advantage, and abused the trust of his players. His circumstances are very unique, and the potential for the 34 players to develop health issues later in life under his watch is something that warrants more than sticking his nose in the naughty corner for ten minutes and then moving on as if nothing ever happened.

I know that you can't compare what Hird has done to what the other players have done. And I am talking about the likes of Carey, Cousins, Kerr, Swan, Fevola, and that's just naming a few. I know these blokes haven't done anywhere as bad as Hird has done (but try telling Anthony Stevens that about Carey bonking his ex wife). But the AFL family have forgiven and moved on from those issues.

This is mainly for the cousins case, but it seems in this thread i have already read several times that exact sentiment... I actually have some sympathy for hird and especially his family. They have been put through hell from the media...

We all face decisions every day where we choose right from wrong, 99% of the population pick the right decision, the one that is socially accepted.
No matter how much good you do, you root one goat and the whole town knows about it and it it sticks forever, you reap what you sow IMO.

I've lived with worse secrets and I've never met a talking goat, so I'll take the first option.
