Hi all hope I am not intruding. Just want to settle a discussion from the polls board. It was mentioned that James Hird during his career was trialled as a HBflanker. I don't remember it but could any of you give me any details of when it occurred, how long it lasted and how did Hird play as a HB?

Thanks in anticipation.

I think he did play there a couple times coming back from the facial injury. I have some recollection of him playing there vs the cats at Etihad. He played very well but was quite loose and a young Steve Johnson kicked about 3 goals on him.

Sheedy often spoke about it, drawing a comparison with Mark Harvey and how it prolonged his career. Never really got off the ground - probably because Hird hated being away from the action and because we couldn't afford him to be either. I think trialled is the wrong word in that, while he did play there and played well, it was never going to be a long-term thing.

Thanks. It was in context of a Hawk poster saying Sheedy trialled him there for about half a season around 2005 and he failed as a HBF. I didn't think it was right.

Was definitely not trialled there for any length of time near that.

Wonder how many names he'll get wrong..

Learnt everything he knows from Peter Landy. Imagine going to that meeting?

You'd just want to punch him in the face after about 5 minutes and let's face it, it'd be pretty hard not to.

He's emerged from Footy Central! Quick, someone twat the *ery out of him while he's exposed!

OMG It's the long awaited sequel to Andrew Walker's Hat!

via footy update / facebook:

SEN is reporting that Jeremy Howe had actually broken his finger playing Cricket for a local club, and not whilst playing frisbee with his dog as he has claimed.

Witnesses at the game state that Howe had hurt his hand trying to take a catch and immediately left the ground.

Howe is currently set to miss 1-2 weeks according to Collingwood.

 

[Stopher]

Was he banned from playing cricket? As it seems like a strange thing to lie about.

Probably scared that Liam Pickering would having a go at him.

Good way to start at the pies, make Balmey look like an idiot..

 

[Yoda_]

Didnt Hird win the B&F in his last year playing predominantly HBF?

With the news that Cometti is packing it in after this season, I'm worried about the spike in opportunities BZ will have for even more wrongness.

surely the media training is just a photo of rompingwins with "Avoid Avoid Avoid" underneath it?

List would be a bit more extensive than that I reckon.

He probably just showed them the 'I can't talk to you because I have my phone to my ear' trick.

 

[Blazeit]

'Dempseyyy-no-it's-Ryderrrr' * that was cringe. Game winning goal also

 

[Halorad]

Remember when baz got poked in the eye?

Probably the best thing a hawthorn supporter has ever done.

Barrett to fill in for Gary on the footy show, that'll make it easier not to watch.

 

[Doss]

Didn't know it was hard not to watch already.
