Coaching Staff Former Coach James Hird

[JayDon]

The main board IS ugly.......whether it's been cleaned up or not.
I don't think any number of sympathetic posts that might come from the dregs who have posted for 4 years on this subject can right the wrong.

FWIW I have been there once. Never again. I like to be amongst our people. EFC is what I am interested in. .... the rest.

 

[JayDon]

Hope and trust the boys get behind him!

 

[Buckley is my hero]

I'm a Collingwood social club member. I'm so sorry for what has happened to James Hird. I hope he's ok. Please get better soon. My thoughts go out to his family.

 

[Schopp]

Must admit to being worried about something like this - there is only so much a person can take no matter how strong they are. Has 4 kids and a strong wife so he will be ok.

 

[VelvetSledge]

This is awful news. I'm not sure if Channel 7 are accurate but I'm not liking this at all. The media has absolutely destroyed this man.

Exactly this. These people all helped create the unwarranted turmoil in hirds life then feel bad when it turns ugly. Like those kids at school who would torment and torture kids then have no f ING idea when they got a glass to the face.

I hope hirdy can be strong but what he has been through is quite possibly a one way street.

 

[Snake Charmer]

I've always love Hirdy through the thick and the thin. Hope all is well. This bloke is the reason I follow Essendon and football it's self. Get better soon

Poor bastard was scapegoated for the biggest sham in sports anti doping, its an absolute disgrace what happened to players, club and Hird, i still hope the pricks that stitched this up are shown for average scum they are

When the karma bus hits I'm going to lock myself away at Revolver(is that place still open).

That's the last place I'd wanna lock myself in

 

[Rack Watts]

People are suddenly surprised after talking so much shit about him. ****ing pieces of shit.

It is and you can still enter Friday and leave Monday

 

[boncer34]

****ing campaigners on the s**tstain of a main board can go and **** themselves.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

C. Wilson you are a piece of crap

get lost, what a shit comment. This just trivialises suicide as much as any of the other crap. Don't even think about castigating someone for doing their job, blaming any individuals like that is rubbish

I hope this isn't a case of that and as I tried to write earlier, we have seen the end of the troubles and are now well placed to reek revenge which hopefully Hirdy enjoys as much as the rest of us will.

 

[Gambelic]

Separating the man from football, I hope he gets the help he needs.

 

[Harlequin]

This is a really sad story, no one here or anywhere knows what was going through his mind yesterday, so to blame anyone is wrong and yes as Lance said trivialises suicide

 

[damochandler]

Idiots laying blame on the media for what no one knows exactly what happened. Is just ridiculous. Just hope he gets through

 

[swifty]

There's a difference between doing your job as a reporter and bullying an individual in the public eye, believe it or not.

I agree with Lance but if someone was hard on Caro has she is with others, we would be hearing no end to the screams of its bullying and sexism, I appreciate Caro's job is to report on the footy but some of her behavior has bordered on bullying.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Gee i really hope 'sarah' has been watching the news...

 

[SydneyBomber]

Absolutely gutted.
Get well soon Jim

 

[Sir Skid]

Sorry for the intrusion peeps.

Very sad news if true but should not have been leaked either way.
Hope he and his family are ok.

I have not been across the news, but where has the suicide talks come from?
