    A lot can change in 10+ years.
    Coincidentally that was around the time that Hird was working with Share Charter as his personal trainer, who aided his miraculous recovery from a career-threatening navicular injury

    Guess Hirdy was "naïve and idiotic" wearing the black armbands below the elbow that day - if only he concentrated as hard on trying to get a kick instead of getting smashed by Brad Scott

          Better than we liked him playing against us anyway.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              Hird was on channel ten news tonight. When questioned should they start playing kids his answer was "History shows that you have very little chance of winning if you play 8 players or more who have played less than 50 games". You mustn't be paying attention to our games Jimmy!

                I think he'll change his tune if they lose to St Kilda and Melbourne.

                    Yep, they're a developing side, that's why they've been pumping games into hot, young (?), sub-50 game prospects like McKernan and Ambrose all year.

                    They're so stuffed, ASADA or no. Name an exciting young talent on their list other than Daniher that will be there next year. Merrett? Langford and Laverde went pretty high, they might be good?

                      Merrett has been proclaimed as better than Bonti by Essendon Supporters dirty on losing their first rounder.

                        He said after one of their losses they had 6 players with less than 50 games which makes winning very difficult. We had 13 that week and won

                          Carlisle looks very very unhappy to me. Looks like he's just had an absolute gut full and is waiting for the last siren of the last round and he's OUT. Just my observations of his body language.

                            It only makes it difficult if you're a shit coach and/or you can't get the best out of your players.

                            James Hird is a shit coach who can't get the best out of his players.

                                He's got a point.

                                You're not allowed to point him out as a hypocrite. Unless you want to be sued of course.
