Surprise Surprise.

Clark sidelined for remainder of 2013

[mjt 640]

Wise decision hopefully he kills it next year.

[beelzebub 23,200]

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

[beelzebub 23,200]

Can i have a refund ?

[Sir Why You Little 36,675]

That injury cannot be good. I sure hope he plays again.

[beelzebub 23,200]

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

[old dee 23,506]

Now there is a surprise!

So eleven weeks now to recover in time to start pre season training?

[beelzebub 23,200]

Talk about snap !! Lol

[old dee 23,506]

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

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.

[Damo 3,254]

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

Over $100,000 per game.

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.

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.

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.

[Pipefitter 2,139]

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

[Pates 9,625]

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.

[ignition. 1,454]

I'm all for it, wrap him up in cotton wool for now so he can come into pre-season fresh and ready to go.

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.

[Allen Jakovich 516]

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.

[Lord Travis 10,493]

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.
