Craig Bird

[kilbluff1985]

How does he compare to, say, Matthew Suckling of WBD?

Bird is more like Ben Howlett

Think he means the Pie and your waistline mate.

Precisely.

Wondering if anyone has kept half an eye on him in the two Nab Challenge matches?

He has scored poorly in these two games (60 odd and 38) after tearing up the intra-club. Has had 62 and 67% TOG, with about 66%DE, was he playing in the guts or swanning around on the half forward line?

Was all over him when SC first came out but couldn't be more off him now. I've seen enough during NAB to confirm he won't be a good pick as he wont average enough to be a keeper and will make stuff all cash as a stepping stone.

Starting to think the same thing, my bias to ex swans players has resulted in me considering him longer than most...

I was extremely excited at the prospect of Bird savagely consuming the pill as a leader in our midfield, but he is off my radar for sure.
