James Hird - You Are a Genius (Part 2)

Here it is, the long-awaited sequel to my James Hird highlights package I created almost a decade ago. I give you James Hird - You Are a Genius (Part 2)!!!
Re-live some of the most amazing goals, marks and passages of play from one of the greatest players ever to wear the red & black. Not only was it ‘what’ James Hird did on the field, but it was also when he did it, often saving his best moments for the big games when everything was on the line. I’ve tried to cram as many of his scintillating snaps and marvellous marks into this video as I can, and I hope you enjoy my latest tribute to a legend of the Essendon Football Club.
(Thanks again to my brother for designing yet another killer intro!)

oozes class. makes it look so bloody easy. Legend!

[@dw29392]

He certainly did!

[@thegame4690]

Thank you for this awesome video as a Essendon member all I got too say is James Hird you are a Champion ❤🖤❤🖤

[@dw29392]

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed watching this superstar player!!!

[@deanno7067]

So many times he made his opponents look like idiots, but they weren't, he just made it look easy to find space and keep his feet.

[@dw29392]

No one else had as much time to do things on a football field as he seemed to!

[@deanno7067]

@@dw29392 100% he would move in slow motion it looked like. No one to replace lloyd since he retired and certainly no one to replace Hirdy are we screwed? Lol.

[@lukejohnston7785]

You just shake your head at how easy he made some freakish plays look.

[@dw29392]

Everything looked easy for him, even the most outrageous plays!

[@Les_Grossman80]

The two Shepard's from Pevrill at around five minutes mark was special.

[@robery4008]

I like how it's not just goals. I love the 1%'s more than the goals

[@dw29392]

It can be quite hard to add the 1%s into highlights packages sometimes because they can happen so fast the coverage doesn't capture them properly, or the commentators don't do them justice. But Hirdy had so many of them he gave me plenty of great ones to choose from!

[@evilbron666]

thanks for this mate :)

[@dw29392]

My pleasure!

[@howiecourt3445]

Time slowed down when Hirdy got the ball

[@dw29392]

No one seemed to have as much time to do things on the field as that man!

[@petermcculloch4933]

None of that soccer style theatrics with Hird.No wonder he is exalted so at Essendon.

[@avatar5991]

Noticed you haven't yet uploaded a highlights package from a past match against Richmond. Did you run out of matches or what?

[@dw29392]

Ah well spotted! Don't worry I definitely haven't run out of matches but now footy is coming back my uploads are going to based on the new 2020 fixture rather than the old one. So hopefully tomorrow the first part of the new fixture will be announced and I'll be able to work out which upload is coming next. Stay tuned!!!

The GOAT

[@dw29392]

Couldn't agree more!!!

[@rogerramjet7246]

A genius on the field . A scapegoat off it . He deserved better

[@dw29392]

Couldn't agree with you more!!!

[@ianwaight554]

"Genius" doesn't seem an adequate enough word to describe James Hird.

[@dw29392]

Agreed!

[@thechos9291]

The Master at Work

[@dw29392]

He really was a genius!

[@darrenkoglin3423]

For me I put Hird just a nose of Gary Ablett Snr & Wayne Carey these 3 players are the best 3 men play the game,and I rate Hirdy slightly in front of Cyril Rioli &Dustin Martin and probably equal with Michael Voss,I still get shivers and emotional goose bumps watching the class of James Hird playing this game called Australian Rules Football.THANKU VERY MUCH as the king Elvis would say

[@ukmedthegreat]

@15:56 hird touches the ball 7 times. 7 bloody times. Second effort after second effort and then kicks a goal. Sensational.

[@ianwaight554]

You could do a dozen of these Hird compilations and still have stuff left over.

[@danieldavidisson9906]

Hird had the gift for naturally giving himself space. Neil Daniher was another. I was at the game in 1980 when he was thrown into the forward line in the last 15 minutes of the final quarter and literally stole a win over Carlton. When the siren went, there wasn't a sound as supporters from both sides were shocked in disbelief. Standing 6'3', he could have been anything. His career was cut short, and then his life. Some people just can't cut a break.

[@kennethreid8632]

An Absolute Magician, Thanks for all of the memories James.

[@ethangoding7265]

Legend 👑

[@dw29392]

He certainly is!!!

[@jibba0jabba1]

Absolute legend

[@dickiesdocos]

I'd love to see him get another go at coaching. I reckon he would've done alright.

[@dw29392]

Unfortunately no club, including Essendon, will ever be brave enough to give him another crack
