James Hird grand final medal up for sale

[Slartibartfast]

Jimmy “the financials are ready” Hird obviously did not think much about becoming runners up in 2001.
His 2001 Runner up medal is coming up for sale in Melbourne soon.
Not sure if he is the vendor or if a subsequent owner is selling the item.


Must say this is a crappy bit of memorabilia the AFL dish out for coming second, seen better at a primary school athletics event.
Which of you Dons fans are going to fork out a couple of K to have this ???

Perhaps a sign Hird is struggling financially?

Worth $0.

Ok maybe the metal is worth something negligible if you were to smelt it....

He'd be better off auctioning his worn underpants to bombers supporters.

Starting at $1500? Should be $150, even that's generous.

That medal is shocking. Reverse text might as well read "Way to suck loser. Here's a casting of two blokes sobbing we made on all the melted down tinnies we sank watching you waste your season". And then Ron Evans does a 540 kickflip as he exits the room.

Think it was all sold a year ago?

All pretty crappy stuff, none of the good stuff (flag jumpers, medals, Brownlow, B&Fs etc) went on sale.

 

[blitzer]

Didn't even know you got a medal for making a Grand Final but not winning. I'd sell that one too.

Shouldn't have played that day, completely selfish.

was he injured?

Not the last time Hird's selfishness would cost Essendon big.

 

[windyhill]

was he injured?

He could barely run, Mercuri the same. Groin issues for both. But hird being captain, ffs.

Thank you Capt. Obv.

I like bagging Hird but I wouldn't care less about this medal either.

I guess the medal highlights Hird's rather despicable speech in the post game presentation.

That medal reminds me of this:

He'd sell his trophies before he sold his orange tanning drugs

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I wouldn't want it if it came free in my cornflakes.

Not sure if he is the vendor or if a subsequent owner is selling the item.

Of course you're not. Cool thread though.

A good purchase for one of the hundreds of obsessive James Hird fanatics on this forum... and I'm not talking about Essendon supporters.

that medal is surely a troll and possibly this supposed auction and thread is as well

Is the chocolate any good?

This whole French mistress story is seriously taking its time to break.

The runner-up medal was presented post-match until Collingwood ruckman Peter Moore, who played in five Grand Finals without a win, threw his to the ground in disappointment after the 1981 Grand Final.
