Stealing this from BB as it just looks too good not to share. Tommy sure looks like a chip off the old block and is already scrapping with the big boys. So much for soccer!

Leftie. Good. We only have 8 on our list (9 if you include Mutch, and I'm not sure if Ham, Gown or Mozzie are off the top of my head)

Also a midget apparently, around 175cm. Only 17 so lets hope for a good 10cm+ growth spurt over the next 18 months.

Very plausible.

Be good if Tom can become a tall mid.

Scratch that, I'm just happy if Tom can become a footballer.

I am getting the feeling that this "Tom prefers soccer" was just a ruse from Jimmy.

Is he gonna play in the TAC?

 

[Bjchan13]

If he gets anywhere near half as good as his old man i will be so happy

 

[jmoo wan]

i hope he has a bit of fun and enjoys the experience.

Considering how late his dad went in the draft Tom might go at like 194

 

[Howard Moon]

already has a better ball drop than his old man

give him a ten year deal.

EDIT - surprised nobody noticed the huge pillow strapped to Francis thigh.. and entered into a long winded theory about how hes done for and career is shot

 

[VelvetSledge]

The Hird kids have been largely kept out of the spotlight over the whole saga bullshit. Completely shocked to see young Tommy look so much like his Dad.

Absolute chip off the old block!

Francis is cooked for sure. I blame the club for mismanaging him. Strapping that steak to his thigh in this heat was inexcusable.

He didn't lick his fingers before going for the ball once... Delist.

Spot on re.the ball drop.

We might have a player on our hands in Josh Misiti, seems he will be making Calders final squad as a 15 year old. Josh is already taller than his old man playing as a key forward for his junior club.
