Geez I hope the saga has squat to do with us picking him up and I hope he avoids discussion on the subject all together.
He’s a footy player, let’s focus on his skills, talents and achievements. He doesn’t need to gain redemption for the father, that’s a horrible thing to put on any young man.
I wish Tom (and his family) all the best.
I hope he will make a great player, we will have some insights in 2 years time. He moves like a player, is smart, athletic and has great genetics. He has been in a professional (soccer) environment.
Until then, there’s a lot of hard work to go on.
Glad he’s on the list, exactly what Cat B is for.
Can you image the crowd for his first game in a couple of years. Hope it’s on Anzac Day and we smash the pies by 60 points
I’d almost put my left nut on the AFL having already directed their Accredited Serfs that that subject is completely off limits.
Is that better? All is right in the world again!
I think you’re right. The articles about Tom have barely mentioned the saga.
All saga aside and media nonsense. Does anyone know how he went in his junior days?
Sometimes gets a bit spuddy.
Lot of kids under a lot of pressure
I am sick of the Age writing click bait articles about Tom Hird and Daniher. However, I wonder how Mrs Donohoe feels?
Didn’t Adam Yze have a trial at Man U at a similar time to Brad Green?
Any chance the club see something special in one of the younger Hird boys and figure throwing Tom two years on the rookie list is well worth it to bring the family back to Football?
He’s well worth the punt and if he puts on size like his dad could be a very well built player in a few years.
Athletic. Check.
Elite coachability. Check. Is a good boy. Check.
Can play multiple positions. Check.
Comes from a good family. Check. Leadership qualities. Check.
What private school did he attend? In the past that has been important to Essendon?
Long sleeves too.
Is that also the patented Hird finger lick?
Good set of hands for a soccer player
He gets a game just for the finger lick
Very smooth like the old man
