Hirdy

[Footypunter]

Any chance to play this week?

 

[Longy413]

Wouldn't have thought so.

 

[Philzsay]

No

At training today he ran (well more like a fat jog) several half laps down one side of windy hill. That was it. He is on the mend but no chance of playing this week.

 

[Smokin]

apparently they said on SEN he may be rested for the season and will play on next year.

I didnt hear it myself though.

Not a bad idea at all.

 

[Longy413]

That wasn't quite what they were suggesting, not to leave him out for the complete season, but just to monitor him through this season and make sure he is 100% right for 2007.

Sheeds said pretty much the same thing, no risk will be taken. It now looks like he won't play until after the break.

 

[DaSawx]

Sounds like Hirdy's leaning towards playing on yeah?

 

[Longy413]

I don't think Hird's pride would let him look like he was running from a sinking ship.

 

[DaSawx]

If he'd had enough he'd enough and I reckon everyone would respect that, being injured a lot of a season when we are rock bottom is a way he would not want to go out on, which is great to see because most of us know we can have a really good team next year if we don't suffer the injuries we've been accustomed to lately

 

[red+black]

Why would you play him against the Crows?

Let's have him fresh for 2007 and our push for 15th.

And to think Sheedy likened resting Hird to Collingwood resting Buckley
