I care. I'm glad Jim got out of this dark time in his life. I went through a deep dark depression back in 2015 at the age of 23. When I thought I wanted to end it all... This guy is a legend of the Essendon footy club. Will be revered as such.
I'm a wce supporter..but all that aside... What a brave and insightful interview from a champion of the game 💯👍
James you are truly a remarkable person. So pleased to hear your story.

James Hird as a Bomber fan and a human.... I love you mate and you are one of the strongest people.
Hopefully one day I get to meet you.... but thank you for everything... you have been a huge part of my life as a footy fan.
I'm so sorry the media treated you so poorly... sadly humans can be the worst animal on this planet.
On a side note a your wife and kids are so amazing..... and so strong and they are like that for many reasons but 1 is you James....
Again thank you and stay strong your a super hero mate....
Awesome interview so raw and honest
Suffered through it all with you and Essendon. Always hoped you would survive it, but we don’t get much Aussie news in the US. Watching this video was a joy. You are and always we’ll be a legend and an inspitation

@user-gu4tv4hp6sIf soccer is such a great sport why are you watching an AFL interview?
Just amazing. You are a true hero and gentleman James Hird. You are an inspiration for me 🙏
Great interview Crawf, certainly changed my thoughts on James Hird at this point in time!
So much respect for this man. Glad you're doing much better now and that you got the help you needed.

Well done Hirdy. Inspiring so many people through your football career, and now long after it sharing your journey and lessons of resilience and perspective 🖤❤️
You are a man of great Integrity James and I believe you and the 34 players were treated very unfairly. You will always be a Legend in my mind and great interview Crawf, Thanks.
Kudos to him for being so open about events. He was certainly a gifted player. Whatever his involvement in the scandal, for a well-adjusted person to plummet to that level shows what sustained pressure and media scrutiny can do to a person. Thank heavens he recognised his predicament and sought assistance.
James is a great guy & so likeable, feels like he always needs to be pedaling hard for success. Only now is realising that sometimes U can just sit, relax & enjoy the ride while gliding on that bike..
So glad James is back on track. I think they used one of the strongest clubs in the league to make an example of
Well done Hirdy. You will always be a great of the game in my eyes.

As we wait to hear the coaching direction at Essendon, I can only hope the club realises the power of redemption.

We need you back jimmy!
I'm so glad that he's come out of his dark place. He was one of the greatest footballers I ever had the pleasure of watching; but to overcome his demons and move on from his mistakes, suggests that he's an even better man.
shows how healing talking about things can be. Including working through all of your past behavior, stresses & problems, to overcome them
Continues to be a gifted and brave person. His honesty is clearly part of his healing.
Good on you James. Very proud of you mate. Also Crawf, great interview champ.
Our General. Welcome back. Essendon premiers 2025
What a great interview Shaun. You haven’t done too more of these interviews.
Hirdy is a champ of Essendon. You have drawn out the essence. Go Hirdy and and go Shaun. Do some more.!
You need to pursue a career in the media with in depth interviews.
Hirdy, what a legend 👏
Beautiful conversation by 2 fantastic blokes. Well done Hirdy. Always a champion in my eyes.
Good chat guys!
We are all hoping hawks and bombers fly up together again riding the bumps with a grin for the greatest grand final of all time. Two of the greatest Crawf and Hirdy.
We love ya Hirdy!!
Happy that James has come through the darkness and is in a good head space. Great to see his two sons at Bomberland also.
Always liked James as a young kid watching him run around for Ainslie.
Great bloke, honest and well done Craws for a good interview.
Craig Go Tiges
Ohhhh hail James Hird the Essendon king ❤️🖤
Love ya James!
Great stuff Boyz. Still love you as a person hirdy, all the best for the Future.
The higher you fly. The more pressure you receive
Tough as nails Hirdy. Good on ya mate.
What a heartbreaking story, the shame and loss of identity driving James to swallow a bottle of sleeping pills and try to end his own life. I'm so glad that he is still alive, if you ever read this, you have a lot of support and people who love you Hirdy, probably more than you know.
Stay happy Hirdy, God knows you deserve it!
anyone else feel eally sad for hird?
Always had your back hirdy
Crawf has packed on the kegs
Hird should read Plato
James Hird did not deserve this shit storm of events he did nothing wrong at any point..sports science department funked up not him
I had zero respect for JH previously before this interview, his arrogance was a big part of what led to the downfall of his club, his players and his health, BUT he deserves a new start, he owns his shit here, and he is not the same person following this self inflicted trauma, he's a stronger better person now. His message now is inspiring to all who have made mistakes and own them.

Herd you were told to STOP, but YOU continued. You’re only sorry you got BUSTED. LOL
