2012: Summary
A knee injury early on kept Birchall out for his only 2 misses of the year.  2012 was virtually a carbon copy of his 2011 season, 3 120+ scores and a handful of sub 80 scores. 

2013: What to expect
Prediction:
Has Birch hit a scoring wall?  He didn't improve on 2011.  Yet that doesn't mean don't pick him: you wouldn't be disappointed if you picked him last year and there's only one way his PPG can go, up. No doubt I expect to see him in a lot of draft teams, he seems ever-reliable creating the play for Hawthorn and has truly become a bona-fide playmaker for the Hawks off half-back.  There is a concern that Suckling and Guerra etc could eat up his R50 numbers.  Yet whilst the Hawks are winning they'll eat a heap of the 3300 pie and Birch looks like he loves pie. 

PPG: 97
