Howdy ho Mr Hankey
Well worth the money IMHO.
I'm sorry, Tim is obviously in media black out mode given the shit going down at the moment with ouDA, so the shitty jokes are up to me. #FridayFunnies

Sounds like more political nonsense if true. auDA needs transparency and management who listen, not more of this.

HE used to shave his head before election campaigns and was accused of heading a Liberal Party dirt unit - meet Ian Hanke, the man in charge of James Hird's public relations.
As the Essendon drugs scandal has blown up, the under-pressure Hird has recruited a team of high-powered advisors.

That group includes Hanke, who started working with Hird in May.

He came to public attention last Friday when AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou suggested a caller to 3AW was employed by Hanke.

I just asked him on Twitter. No response yet.

It will be telling if it becomes cone of silence. The rumour is he is calling media trying to get puff pieces on auDA published.

I wonder if the rest of the board have even agreed to this, hard to believe that they'd all choose a path like that.
