Wise decision hopefully he kills it next year.

No.....never saw it coming guv !!!

I know O D and I have wondered this. Will he ever play again ? Its not a flippant question as some might think. :(

Now there is a surprise!

Talk about snap !! Lol

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.


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!!

Fingers crossed then

Me too

That is what worries me the most.

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
