Confirmed, well the calf injury not the hammy...
From the bomberwebsite:
Hird sidelined with calf injury
Monday, 3 July 2006
James Hird’s wretched run with injuries has continued after he was forced from the training track this afternoon with a strained left calf. The latest injury – which comes just two weeks after recovering from a hamstring injury – will sideline him for at least the next three weeks.
Hird, 33, has managed just seven of 13 games this season with soft tissue injuries plaguing the Essendon champion. Should he miss three weeks, he will return for Essendon’s Round 17 clash with Brisbane at the Telstra Dome.
The injury was sustained in the same calf muscle as the one that sidelined him earlier in the season. Hird was in the middle of a simple training drill, leading out to take a mark when he felt something grab and left the track immediately.
Well I doubt he'll play on next year now. :(

Our finals chances are now in serious disarray. And to think Lloyd was due to return in September.
Dam. Although we would love to see him play on again, i think its time he does hang up the boots, such a shame, by far the best player i have seen. been watching footy since 1996

I got the email from Essendon several minutes before you posted on the main board, so the article would've been on the site for about 10 minutes before you posted.
Also he did his calf not his hammy.
The awful truth

****. Hopefully he can come back vs Bris and play the rest of the season out. His body is falling apart, no point going on again next season imo as it's likely to be more of the same :(

Looks like he should be nursed very much through the rest of the season to enable a fitting farewell at seasons end against Footscray with a big crowd.

Agree. No one deserves a proper farewell more than Jimmy.
Don't want him going out like Carey.

Unlike you I don't see news and rush to Big Footy to post it so I can appear to be the first one with the breaking news. Small, silly things like that don't concern me.

Yeah you're right. A troll with Essendon as his club to try and get us angrier. Must be a top bloke in the real world.
Edit: Supports Collingwood.

LMOA - Do you think I can get a refund on the $10k I laid at Centrebet for the flag?

Would have given you 1.5/1, in the running with equal favourite Richmond and not far behind Hawthorn.

Well they are both in your leg but i wouldnt say the same area ;)
As for posting it some of us get plenty of info but we dont feel the need to try and be a hero :p

omfg DaSawx we know what has to be done.....
I absolutely admire Hirdy and have the utmost respect for him as a player. But I'd have to agree that he should give it away at seasons end, but make sure hes fit for the last game. He's given us so much over the years, but hes now 33 and his body is failing on a regular basis.
As much as he doesn't want to leave the club while we are struggling, I think hes given his all, and I wont respect him any less for leaving the game.
Understand that he does not want to leave the club when the wheels are falling off however I agree his body is telling him it's time. Maybe he should be thinking about next year in terms of how he could contribute to the rebuilding in a off feild role. I'm sure there are plenty of young players (even more after the draft) at Essendon that could learn so much from just having him there!!

Done, but I don't drink beer sorry Longy, I drink bourbon ;)
clearly not our year is it. would have been good just to see him play out they year and a have a few good games. Hopefully he can play the last 6 games of the year and gets a good send off. I know its sounds strange but he should take it easier on the training track, but from all reports he has always been to proud to do that even when injured. I think someone should tell him that he has done enough.

This could be the end for good old Jim bob Sh*t The bombers need some luck and there just not getting any. Dustins out to isnt he???:eek:
Im really beginning to think our position on the ladder wont affect Hirdy's decision at years end. His mindset is not dissimilar to Lloyds in that if he feels he still has something to offer the game, he'll go on.
Im hoping he goes on, but in saying that...would prefer he sit the rest of the season out n get himself right for next year. Despite his mental toughness, doubt any player could deal with the constant frustration of braking down every 2-3 weeks n having the football world watch him on the boundary line, then be scrutinised by the media week in week out as to what he might be thinking. Ill be waiting with eagerness for his next articles in the Herald-Sun n bombers website
