Thought a few might find this an interesting story. As i was walking away from the game today ran into James Hird walking his dog along Alexandra avenue opposite the botanical gardens. He actually asked us how we went and wanted some thoughts on the match. Found him to be really approachable and easy going which was quite refreshing and different from how he is portrayed in the media.We had a good chat for about 3-4 minutes as we walked along and he asked about Sylvia watts Clark jones and how port looked under Ken Hinkley. Also wasn't afraid to poke a bit of fun at the bombers when he said "at least you've got your bunnies next week must be a certain win for you guys". I thought it was great that someone who has been under so much scrutiny can just relax and have a bit of fun with a couple of supporters from another club on the way home from the footy.Full credit to Jim.

you're telling me that the senior coach of an AFL team that the Dee's are playing next week wasn't there to watch and analyse his next opponent?
Geeze we really are viewed as being insipid and not respected by everyone in the AFL if an opposition coach doesn't feel the need to watch his next opponent play.

I'm as disappointed as any, but I never cease to be amazed at how some people can take a light hearted thread that has nothing at all to do with the MFC and twist it in to evidence of how much the MFC suck. I am actually impressed.

I know a mid wife who has had to deal with many of footballers and celebrities.

She said James Hird was one of the best people that has came through the place, he was a delight.

He was a regular bloke and a genuinely good person, had all the time for anyone, I didn't like Hird before she told me this.

She said Sam Mitchell and Matt Newton were the opposite, both very arrogant, rude and I won't tell Mitchell's story, blokes a dirt bag.

Nasher The thread is supposed to be about James Hird being a down to earth bloke who despite all he has been through can still have a chinwag and a joke with a couple of opposition supporters on the way home from a game. Please don't turn it into yet another stupid dogfight

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
