What happened to Hirdy Lance- I missed the news

copped a calf injury at training today. No-one's really sure of the extent of it, and let's face it, Essendon are not renowned for being overly forthcoming about the extent of injuries!

The fact they are saying he'll be named gives some hope, but not much given how it's panned out in the past. Usual time off for a calf is four weeks, and we all know Hird's not a young man in footy terms.

Just ********es me off, you know. If it is indeed his last year (and let us all pray to the lord almighty it's not) you'd love to see him have a crack at an injury free year. Already that looks like a pipe dream :(

If it's true it's a big loss (obviously), but with the timing especially. We need to win 5 of our first 7 to make the 8 because our run after that is horrible (based on last season at least) until we start our repeat matches.

I'm really hoping we're foxing. We've done that with Hird a few times.

He'll definately be named.

Lets just wait until he has a scan before we get too concerned.

Longy beat me to it, why am i not shocked.

Hird on the Footy Show said he's going in for an MRI scan in the morning. Felt a twinge this morning.

Hird out dont you beleive me?

I've said as much on another thread...you should know that, you are stalking me. I was down playing the concern regarding the four weeks on the sidelines. Like I said, lets wait until he has a scan (you might also like to note I mentioned that prior to Hird mentioning it on the Footy Show).

Hird all but admitted he isn't playing anyway. Want to take a guess at who's taking his spot?

Coleman out as well ( oh sorry Johns l mean)

I know, I said that.

He wasn't selected.
 
According to Doc Peter Larkins tonight Hird's MRI Scan went well. No tear so just general soreness and he even went for a run today. Larkins reckons Essendon will still play it safe and not play him this week, most likely he will play next week and worse case scenario round 3.

I'm happy with that.
