James Hird rushed to hospital

[Dry Rot]

See http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/j...05-gtm8u8.html

Apparently reports on Channel 7 say it is a drug overdose

EDIT: from another forum: "7 just reported an intentional poisonous overdose. Did not say what the substance was."

Didn't I read somewhere he had marriage problems.. If so its a sad thing to do if it's intentional .. The kids are the most important thing in life. Hope he realises that quickly

Re: James Hird rushed to hospital

I was just thinking the other day how quiet things were about him and what's he been up to since all the stuff finished.

Call me skepitcal, but if the footy world doesn't invite him him back into the fold now with forgiveness and sympathy then the footy world appears heartless.

Footy world is pretty forgiving of the superstars. Look at Carey.

Hird would get back into media but it'll take 3+ years.

Hope he's ok and can get his life back on track.

It happened yesterday. He was discharged by the original hospital. But Ch9 report it as 'breaking'.

The hospital?

I hope he gets healthy and well very quickly. His children have been through enough and don't need to be worried about their dad.

The hospital?

The report says Cabrini hospital but he has since been moved.

Agreed, this smells of last resort PR to try and get Hird back into the football family.

I know it sounds callous but I'm just being honest - Hird has been completely left alone for almost a year now to the point where he is an irrelevency. This is a hell of a way to get back into the spotlight and to regenerate a lost career. Considering he has been proven to be a compulsive liar throughout this episode and has constantly placed himself above the welfare of the club, players and the game itself, I remain very skeptical about this latest turn of events.

True or not, skepitcal or not, (like Dusty Martin, Carey and many more) he's now set up to be the Cinderella story of overcoming adversity and rising back to the top of the industry if the AFEL media run with it. I will spew for a few reasons if that happens.

Re: James Hird rushed to hospital

It does sound callous, given scant information on the matter is at hand.

I don't like James Hird, but the coded language around this suggests it's a little more than a low key cry for help episode. Whilst I agree he's been found to be a liar and charlatan, if what is purported to be happening in his private life on top of the drugs saga then the possibility of this episode being more than a PR grab is a very real, and probably more likely one.

Re: James Hird rushed to hospital

It says in The Hard Way that due to pain in his face from that collision against Freo when his head was caved in that Hird uses a lot of sleeping pills to combat the pain keeping him awake. It could be an accident not misadventure.

Sounds like he has had some sort of mental break down and has tied to commit suicide. Reports say he has been moved from Cabrini, I would say he is in care at a mental health facility.

Don't wish anything like this on anyone and hope he gets things back on track for his and his families sake.
