Hirdy

[gotzy9 33]

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.

First thing that came to my mind

If we had won this would have been a great thread, but I just can't muster the will to make conversation about it.

Someone put me out of my misery.

I'm sure he'll watch a replay but yes you would have thought he'd be there to watch it in the flesh

The way we played today Blind Freddy could beat us.

An opposition coach that had not much on, football wise, did not bother to watch the team they play next week.

No respect from anyone at all.

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.

Should have asked him if he wanted a new job

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
