Bombers, AFL stalemate over Hird pay

THE tense impasse between Essendon and the AFL continued with neither party budging over the James Hird pay row.

Hird, recently back from business studies in France after being banned from coaching in 2014 over the Bombers' supplements scandal, seemed a light year from the drama on Saturday as he ran with his son and dog.

But the ongoing feud between his club and the league over whether he is paid during his time out of the game continued its stalemate.

An AFL spokesman confirmed there had been "no developments" since chief executive Andrew Demetriou stressed during the week that "he's not allowed to be paid".

But Essendon, which also offered no comment, is defying the league directive and has continued to pay the coach's $1 million salary during his ban.

It's also understood the Bombers are paying suspended football boss Danny Corcoran's salary while he serves a four-month ban over the scandal.

Essendon's stance is a direct challenge to Demetriou's authority, with the league having issued a "please explain" notice to the Bombers on Thursday.

The Herald Sun revealed this week that Hird had been presented with a series of inducements - including a guaranteed salary during his suspension - amid secret negotiations between Australian Sports Commission chairman John Wylie and Bombers chairman Paul Little.

This was four days before the AFL Commission was to rule on the sanctions.
