    The jury is still out for me bb

    There is nothing in that statement that actually says anything about his injury.

    My fear meter is rising with every non comment.

    2 years at $800,000 and he has played 15 games.

    Over $100,000 per game.

    Not bad is it , Scully earns that, it could also lead him to be a cripple later in life, I was a bit nasty on him in few posts earlier on but I just hope he makes it back, he be a handy addition next year.

    i know there's not a lot of love for James Hird on this website. But he came back from a serious foot injury and eventually led his team to a premiership. Let's hope for the same result.

    My memory is foggy but Hird was out for a full year , Clarke is now been out way past that I think.

    No doubt someone will tell me I am delusional.

    I seriously doubt that will happen at the dees he will need to play for another 6 - 8 years.

    I think he's got one more crack at getting it right or he'll retire. It's Matthew Egan all over again. Feel so sorry for the bloke. He's a champ!

    What happens if he is finished do we have to pay all the last year?

    Stupid question I guess the answer is yes!

    yeah hirdy went to Germany and got calves blood and god knows what else injected into his system

    I'm trying to stay positive with his injury, I can't help but think we made a mistake bringing him back before taking his screw out. Hopefully they can manage this and get it right.

    My memory is also foggy, but I think Hird was out for one year, came back for a game or two and then broke down (and into tears) and went out for the rest of that year as well. In all, I think he missed the best part of two years.

    This shatters me. It's like Stephen Tingay all over again.

    I hope for his sake they can work out sooner rather than later whether he can come back or whether he should give it away.

    So devastating for the bloke.

  • Quote

    Let's hope he can return next year. If he breaks down again next year then you'd think that's it for him. It will be a Matt Egan type scenario. Such a shame as he was killing it when he first came across, but now his career is in the balance and we're wasting a ton of money having him just sit there. Sucks for him and the club!

    I agree with resting and getting it right.

    The thing I don't understand is how at rd 6 they were saying he'll be back in 6 or so wks, it's been more like 6 mths!!

    Me too

    That is what worries me the most.

    I don't think anyone knew then and I still don't think they do.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
