If they sacked Hird like they should have done from day 1 (instead of giving him a 2 year extension) and admitted that they faarked up instead of trying to bully the AFL through the courts then that would go a long way to saving the players.
Maybe the club believes it didnt give the players anything illegal, that could be why they are contesting so hard.
Or perhaps they are just trying to cover their arse, who knows.
Ive said all along I dont care if they were given 100 injections per day just as long as the stuff was legal
Most likely sacking Hird would have legally required a reason, and that reason would have been an admission of guilt opening them up to severe sanctions and legal action. No win situation for the club, although hard to be sympathetic when they've brought it upon themselves
