#49 Tom Hird

I hope he wins a norm smith in a winning grand final after tackling Sidebottom as he tries to seagull a goal, takes it the length of the ground kicks a goal slamming the ball into Fat Eddies face.

I want him to wear the Big V in an interState game. No-one else in his family has achieved that.

“I was honestly shocked that he chose to play for Essendon. It was an unexpected decision to stop following his path in soccer, and play AFL.

Adrian and Tom must have been regularly catching up behind the scenes because I had no idea he was going to go down this path” James Hird on the podcast.

Not the best time to be a category B rookie with all these talks about list cuts from 2021 onwards

Would be a whole lot worse if your last name wasn’t hird.

Surely he gets a chance this year. Clearly had a big 2 months pilling on kgs.

Surely he’ll improve rapidly under Stephanie’s tutelage.

Wouldn’t expect much from him this year, especially with no VFL available. But at least covid has allowed him to catch-up a little after starting so late in the pre-season.

COVID is a disaster for draftees and rookies alike.

Jake Long played 5 games. Will be interesting to see if Tom plays more than that.

I’m not even sure he’s a real Hird. Where are the ears?
