Spitting image of the old man!

Welcome aboard Tommy. You've got some incredible talent in that blood of yours.

lol

 

[Donakebab]

Being allowed to sign Hird as a cat B just feels ridiculous, but no complaints here. Welcome Tommy!

Holy tornado batman!

Great news. Let’s hope he’s an even better bargain than that guy we got for pick #79!

 

[Runk]

Um.......is he even any good? Pedigree aside.

Well he was good enough to get into elite soccer in Europe, but for whatever reason hasn't stayed in elite soccer.

Free hit anyway, he's a Cat B.

Another Hird! 4th generation.

 

[Milanista28]

So happy, Feels right, I'm liking 2020 so far, next step... FLAG!

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Can’t breathe

 

[Milanista28]

eDPS Have you seen much of him? Has he played much junior footy?

 

[Kakkle]

We gave Jake Long 5 years, so I'm looking forward to seeing Tom play in the VFL for the next decade while earning an AFL wage.

He has played no form in the elite junior pathways only local football like the EDFL which I don’t go to watch, at the very least has spent the last two years playing soccer exclusively

 

[Highly Evolved]

Wow. I know nothing about him except that he is James' son. Welcome to Essendon!!

Would be incredibly if he turned out half as good as his dad but was selected as a Category B Rookie.

I created this username 12 years ago...

For a small fee, I’ll also give you this weeks powerball numbers.

I mean, if he's another Luke Lavender we can cut and run. We tend to underuse our Cat B list anyway, so even if he sucks I will support the decision by even using it.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Is this guy any relation to the great James Hird?

Excellent, for a moment there I was worried we only drafted him due to his name.

 

[Runk]

First we beat West Coast in a per-season game, then Connor came back and now this. Time to cash out 2020.

 

[Howard Moon]

I get it...fake a soccer career for 8 years so he can be nabbed as a cat b.

Shrewd move dodo, you are in rare air
