I think bojangles is not in tune with the bigger picture, and that is that Essendon do not belong down the bottom of the ladder, and come next year will not be down the bottom of the ladder, while his beloved Richmond will be down the bottom.

I dont blame them

Hird is a fairy, and has been getting charity free kicks for as long as I can remember

Yep, its one of things where we are expected to idolise him even though he really isn't all he's cracked up to be.

If he looked like Cam Ling, instead of every suburban Mum's wet dream, he'd be remembered for what he is - a very good players, ntohing more.

been trying to say that for years but they won't have it - he has sunbeams emanating from his O-ring as far as his fans are concerned.

Sad thing for him is that we will actually get something out of this season....a top 5 pick...richmond again will finish 9th and get ***** all from the draft, and be back down in the bottom 4 next season where they belong
Well off the mark, the first 8-10 players in the draft this year are all that strong that even finishing 9th, we'll still get one of these top players. Of all years, this is the year that playing well will not punish you heavily on missing one of the cream of the crop kids. We finished 12th last year and got Pick 8, this year without the priority picks before the draft we'll finish 9th or 10th and still get Pick 7 or 8 in a much stronger talent pool.

No chance Richmond will be bottom 4 next year, Essendon will be contending for another spoon though

Wha's that make Buckley then? Hird>Buckley.
If Hird was playing for Collingwood, he would be one of the greatest ever in your eyes.

Didn't say he couldn't play, who knows how many goals he would have kicked by now in a decent team?,But, It's all me,me,me with Richo, he is a selfish, tantrum throwing sook.............and not in Hirdy's league.........by a loooooong way.
Bemused by Hirdy's brilliance......Amused by Richo's petulence.
No need to sign off your post with your real name, your username is fine.:D

Apart from being a champion footballer hes also a ripping individual.

Nothing wrong with showing some passion.

Same situation as us, and, with the inclusion of a few players, can come good next season. Can't deny it buddy, you're going to have to get over your obsession with the Dons.
Collingwood had 5 wins on the board after rnd 14 in 2005, then proceeded to shut up shop to take advantage of the draft system

Essendon had 1 win on the board at this stage, and wont receive the same type of assistance even tho they are pathetic

but yeah dons sure things for top8 next year

Don't worry about this knob, he knows nothing. all his posts are made up crap.

1. They beat the Bombers, even though Bombers had 6-700 more games experience - WRONG

2. Hird only got booed, after constantly getting soft free kicks - WRONG

I used to love it when they'd boo Carey. I'd just yell at the booers - 'You'd have him in flash if you had a chance' - to which no booer ever disagreed.

So, you are saying that the Roos would have Hird in a flash, well maybe not now, but say two years ago?

If you think 2 over the hill players are the answer to the Bombers problems then you really are delusional.
Essendon are not a good side having a bad year, they are a once great team on a very long journey of rebuilding. I can only hope the brainstrust over rates the list as much as the supporters do so that they attempt the quick fix and it only prolongs your misery.

I was at the game and thought I saw Hird get more than one free kick, that was the only reason he got booed. Perhaps the stats man paid the mark to Hird that resulted in a goal.

I quoted a stat that was given in the media during the week, the quote was actually accurate except I didn't know you'd lost 600 games experience in your outs because I don't care enough to pay attention to your team.

My team is travelling along fine and trust me, I'm having a good look
The fact that we've beaten you 3 times in a row now would perhaps suggest that we're improving. Just like you think a top 8 spot is owed to Essendon, you think we are owed a bottom 4 spot, it doesn't work like that, you just need to open that one eye of yours.

You were at the game, yet you thought you saw Hird get more than one free kick, OH dear, you are sadder than I thought.

You quoted a comment by your coach, who was going on our team the previous week, which makes him look like an amateur coach, that he wasn't looking at the team that he was playing this week, sad, sad, team, no wonder you are always ninth, your coach doesn't have a clue.

Well, it just shows how feral and uneducated Richmond supporters are. Bloody disgraceful


I'd say it probably had to do a little with the softest free kick in history being given to him wouldn't you? A vintage acting display by hird. That said, he's an out and out champion and ive said this on many occasions. You needed to be where I was sitting to see the best example of feral bummber fans.
