Seriously you couldn’t follow that analogy, I think you are purposely being a jerk now.
DeeDee made the role of the captain perfectly clear as was the chain of command.
Your attitude in some of your posts really hisses me off sometimes
Yeah yeah, Hird is just the cabin boy
You do realise a senior coach isn't a member of senior management of a football club? That James Hird has a boss, who in this instance is the football manager Paul Hamilton?
And that the head of high performance (or whatever Robinson's title was) is an equivalent employee to Hird and also reports to the football manager? And manages Dank?
And that the CEO, Ian Robson, the actual Captain of the ship manages Hamilton? And that is before you even get to the board.
All of these people are on deck all the time in the footy season, they aren't based on land while the ship is at sea.
The image you have of a senior coach dominating the club and barking demands at all and sundry is from another era.
So Hird just turns a blind eye to what's happening to his entire playing group? (Zaharakis excepted)
Turns a blind eye to the club doctor Bruce Reid who was there his entire playing career?
Turns a blind eye to offsite injections?
Please. Any decent coach/human would have intervened.
He didn't.
Hird thinks his players are receiving cutting edge sports science, conducted by an expert, that is compliant with WADA and ASADA codes and will maximise their performance so what exactly is he turning a blind eye to?
I've addressed the Dr scenario up above.
Why would he question off-site injections if an expert told him they were required? Hird isn't medically trained, why would he argue if Dank says to ensure hygiene standards are met it needs to be done in a clinic? It's not like going off-site for a medical procedure is uncommon practice.
I'd still love to hear what the suggestion is that Hird should have done to intervene? Was he supposed to investigate Dank and check his qualifications? Or was he supposed to find out which substances were being used and investigate them to determine if they are appropriate? And clear them all with ASADA and WADA? Is the expectation that the senior coach needs to check the work of every employee who deals with his players?
