James Hird was back out on the track this morning after a 'bug' sidelined him from Monday's session. The skipper is a certain starter for the Wizard Cup semi final against St.Kilda. It was close to all hands on deck at the team's 90-minute skills session. Damian Cupido and Mark McVeigh are close to full training and despite wearing a brace on his right hand to protect his ruptured finger tendon, Dean Solomon is still in the thick of the training action.
