Bye Bye Hird

Dissapointing loss, no finals chance... But 88 000 people were still at 'the G' to say goodbye to James Hird and Kevin Sheedy.

The post game footage of Hird and his 3 kids, and Sheeds walking around the fence is pretty moving.

Even during the game as they fought to not fall too far behind Hird was brilliant. That guy can do things with a football I've never seen anyone else do, he just always knows where the ball is, where his players are and exactly how to get it to them.

He's been my favourite player for so long. Right now seeing that guard of honour as the Richmond and Essendon teams line up at the tunnel is very fitting. A true champion of the game!
