Hird best on ground?

[Bulluss]

What a joke 

[Fwoy3]

Yep...didn't even see him for most of the game...He's retiring though...deserves another token trophy 

[DallasCrane]

i don't think he was BOG, however it's hard to think of a player that was better than him, 10 players could've won it.

[Bulluss]

Lids, Polak, Hille, Stanton, Mcphee just to name a few.

Hird BOG is a disgrace.

Absolute joke.

Even Richo was bloody better, not to mention those Bull already has.

They gave it to Hird for that tackle near the end. Essendon won so they gave it to him.

How about his speech - "We know how Richmond feels". Yep sure you do James  .

[DallasCrane]

I'm getting sympathy texts from Essendon supporters, they are not being returned in kind.

Nothing more to say

I thought Lucas should have got it. All subjective. I was pretty surprised Hird got it. Might have scraped into the top dozen.

Hird BOG what a freakin joke he hardly was sited
Polak Bowden & Richo killed hird for BOG

End of game my daughter brought the phone out to me & said its for me
l could hear the Bombers theme song being played even before l had it in my hand so l smashed the thing & the family & everyone bolted they thought l was gunna have one of my explosive moments cause the rules of the game have taken there toll on me 
Visitors left & everyone in the house scooted its quite now l'm watching the replay as l typo 

[Life goes on]

Thought that Adam McPhee was EASILY best on ground.
His contested marks were a highlight.
Played both ends of ground. excellent game.

Essendon supporters on the Richmond Board at Big Footy couldn't believe that Hird got BOG.  I would have picked Stanton or McPhee over Hird.  But then a Richmond player probably would have been more deserving.  Just goes to show that James Hird really is the Golden Boy.  What a joke!!  Even the media were surprised Hird got it.

Nothing more to say 

Ditto

Until the last qtr was almost ineffectual

Lids vs Lucas for BOG IMHO

Er the tackle where he rode Meyer into the ground via his back 

How about his speech - "We know how Richmond feels". Yep sure you do James  .

Was listening to SEN driving home some bloke phoned up and gave Jimmy ther best spray for the above comment.

Jimmy has NO IDEA who we feel.

He has been absolutely blessed in his career to have played finals consistently, play in GF. He has sooked when they haven't won. Heck he believes they are a top 4 side this year.

Jimmy maybe a champion player but I'd like to know how he would have coped if he really had to put up with what with we have for the last 25 years.

Jimmy you have NO IDEA
