James Hird has let rip on the AFL yet again, labelling some of the AFL officials as "ordinary people," who he has no time for.

โ€œOf course I think the AFL should take some blame for where this is at,โ€ Hird told radio station 3AW on Sunday.

โ€œThe way it was handled early on and the way itโ€™s been handled the whole way through โ€” media leaks. I probably wonโ€™t say any more.

โ€œThere are certainly some people within the AFL industry that I have no time for โ€” who I think are ordinary individuals and donโ€™t speak the truth.

โ€œThey have agendas and drive really hard towards their own agendas.

โ€œThere are plenty of examples of people who are working at the AFL now who have said the truth doesnโ€™t matter anymore, itโ€™s not about the truth.

โ€œThe truth from the start wasnโ€™t what was sought and the people who have tried to speak the truth have been closed down and havenโ€™t been allowed to talk about it. Or, a different form of the truth has been pushed out through the media.โ€
