Question

Hey, I was so upset the Eagles lost tonight. I tipped em, and I hate essendon. I would like to know who was on Hird in the last quater I mean 15 touches!! It was quite obvious after he cleared if from the centre he would run down the forward line and kick a goal. I honestly don't think you guys have any taggers or tall forwards or a good backman. Too bad, you've got a killer midfield.

I think Embley started on him but it was Rowan Jones on him when he did his damage.

Yes, it was Jones in the last quarter.

But the damage was done when Cox limped off. We lost the ruck and the initiative went to the bummers. Hird is a gifted player who played like a man with something to prove. With ruck dominance he was always going to be deadly.

I thought Embley started on him, then Hird went head to head with cousins out of Jones picked him up.

 

[coasting]

A huge mistake by the coaching staff. Embley was doing alright, at least keeping him in check. We gambled by taking him off and lost big time.

I dont know if Embley could have done much either...it's just Hird been Hird. Great player and he won them the game.
