    Don't wish anything like this on anyone and hope he gets things back on track for his and his families sake.
    It's possible, but I'm keeping an open mind to all possibilities considering we are talking about a pathological liar who has placed nothing or nobody ahead of his own personal reputation throughout this saga.

      Hird’s condition is still unknown, however the Herald Sun understands he was transferred from Cabrini’s on Wednesday afternoon to a specialist mental health centre where he is still receiving care.

        I posted up from a Geelong Football club source that he had gotten a French girlfriend pregnant, which didn't turn out to be much of a scoop as others on here had heard the same.

          James Hird's credibility stocks are so low they make the theory that this is some kind of stunt seem plausible. However, the reports I've read say close friends have been worried about him for some time but he rejected offers of assistance. That could be taken any way. It's just an awful mess that keeps coming back to haunt the EFC.

            It's like the penultimate act in a Shakespearean tragedy where the audience speculates about how the play will end. I hope for his children, his parents' and his friends' sakes he is able to recover and lead a fulfilled life. Preferably well away from the media.

              I agree Josie, though I fear that due to his burning of Evans and his clear selfishness throughout the whole saga the usual element of cronyism that allows people like Hird to secure cushy jobs in the businesses of friends, acquaintances or associates is unlikely to transpire - and there's no football club that would be willing to have him on the books.

              What does that mean in the long run? It means that Ch7 awaits, with the likes of Bruce fawning over him like he does over the Duck, the domestic abuser and adulterer made good. Hird will be on our TV screens within two years.
              TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                Well the papers and Social Media are now all about how poor James has been bullied unmercifully and the current state of affairs is because of this and the pariah like treatment handed down by McLachlan and others.


                Message for James

                If you truly want to get on with a happy life, accept responsibility for your actions including a full, open and honest disclosure of everything that occurred. An apology to everyone that has been thrown under a bus by you would also not go astray.

                Stop trying to play the blame game and seek victim status.

                Furthermore if you can find a time travel machine, you could perhaps travel back to that day in February 2013 and admit everything at the outset of the investigation.

                If I had done anything in my industry, as damaging as James has in his, I would be banished forever from being involved further on any level.

                  Re: James Hird rushed to hospital

                  Has there been a bigger fall from grace in Australian sport? From an absolute legend of his chosen sport, hugely respected and one of the giants of Essendon to a disgraced former coach recovering from an alleged suicide attempt.
                  Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                    None. Although plenty of attention if his suicide attempt fails.

                      Yes, Nathan Brown when he left for Richmond to play in premierships. Shaun Higgins a close second who left to play in premierships.

                      Both of course really landed on their knees with those decisions.

                        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          I won't mention the names but there is two at GWS and one went to the bombers and I don't think he was exactly happy there either.

                            I just checked and I used up my forum allocation for posting about James Hird. I don't think I will top up my account.

                              He did enjoy the soft floor at Essendon though. It was spongey

                                Indeed. You have to wonder what sort of POS would leave his 4 kids in Australia, and an alleged 5th in France, without a father because he couldn't cope with his loss of adulation from the Victorian public? He still has money, he still has his kids, he still has employment opportunities through Essendon nuffies, and most of the Kool Aid drinkers still worship him, but apparently that's not enough for James he needs total and utter god like status from all and sundry.

                                Or this was a pathetic attempt at becoming portrayed as the victim of unjustified bullying.

                                I'm not sure under which scenario I'd hold more disdain for him.
