	James Hird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Hird (born February 4, 1973) is an Australian rules footballer, formerly the captain of the Essendon Football Club.
		James Hird was recruited from the Ainslie Football Club in Canberra, in the 1990 AFL draft.
		James Hird made his debut in 1992, but it was in the 1993 season he first began to make his mark on the game.

	Hird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the reign of Håkon IV (1204 – 1263) the Norwegian hird was no longer exclusively focused on the military function, and had aquired several subdivisions on continental patterns, with squires (kertilsveinr, literally "candle-men", which were ceremonially required to hold candles at hird ceremonies), men-at-arms (hirdmenn) and knights (skutilsveinr, literally "table-men").
		The upper levels of the hird were a recruitment ground for numerous royal officials, and most external officials were also incorporated into the hird.
		Emphasis was put on the Norwegian king's hird as a community of equals, a chivelresque corporation of warriors in which, technically, the king was the first among equals.

		Hird was obliterated in last night's semi-final against Port Adelaide by the dogged determination of a man who has spent most of his career playing for survival at the elite level.
		Hird's frustration grew, and he was dispatched to defence for a period, then to the front half, and later back to the coalface.
		Hird was scarcely alone in his troubles, for Matthew Lloyd was swamped by Darryl Wakelin and restricted to a single goal.

		Her dad, James Henry Hird, was manager of the Royalty theatre, and later of the entertainments on the pier, where a weekly ticket admitted holidaymakers to a pocket opera company and Madame Rosa Vere, who dived off in red tights every high tide, after which her mother passed the hat.
		Hird s first appearance before a live audience was when her mother was playing a village maiden seduced by the squire s son, a liaison resulting in an illegitimate baby which was required to be produced on stage.
		James Hird, who was directing the melodrama, dispensed with the customary bundle of clothes to represent the child and told his wife to carry the sleeping Thora on instead.

	Beneath the calmness, desire burns even stronger within James Hird - www.smh.com.au
		James Hird, giving the keynote address at a leadership conference hosted by Essendon earlier this year, said leadership to him was about honesty, no matter how much the truth might momentarily hurt others.
		Hird's way is not so much to lay down the law as to lay bare the reality.
		Hird has the same high ambition for his captaincy as his standing as a player.

		Funny that James Hird should have a whinge about the umpires and to claim that one in particular was bias against essendon.
		If Scott Mclaren had taken James Hirds comments like a proffessional and not made a public statement to the effect that he was deeply hurt by the comments, then the public would probably have respected him for being strong enough to take a criticism and move on.
		James Hird is a disgrace and should be expelled from the AFL.

		Hird alleged on prime time television nine days ago that McLaren was biased but he remains a hero because of what he was able to achieve at Telstra Dome on Saturday night.
		McLaren might feel marginally deflated by Hird's sentence - $20,000, should he personally pay it, barely touches the sides of an annual football and media package totalling close to $1 million - but the truth is that had the Essendon captain been suspended or deregistered the umpire's on-field life would have become even more difficult.
		If it wasn't the talented, handsome, well-spoken James Hird who attacked an umpire who had a bad night, you would be forgiven for believing that it all boiled down to a bad sport calling the referee a cheat.

		Hird came into the match having spent the previous five weeks recovering from a torn hamstring.

		Playing mainly off centre-half forward (and I say "off" because most of the time you can see him in any pack forward of the centre, and even in the backline!), his vision sets up many of Essendon's attacks on goal.
		Whenever you see an opposition forward having a good day, more than likely Sheedy will put Jimmy on him and you won't see that opposition player for the rest of the game - not only that, but you'll see James running off the backline to continue to set up attacks for the Dons.
		He took out the Best and Fairest for the second consecutive year in 1995, and he is continuing his winning form through 1996.
