Seems like a good deal to me, paid next to nothing for him. He will immediately improve the side, and provide a good example to the young recruits.
Averages 4 tackles a game, hard but who can mark a kick.
Definite starting 22
Good addition. Four or five young blokes this year and the same next will have us in a very good position.
Bird, Watson, Myers and Hocking sure make for a big strong bodied midfield (albeit slow)

We can get away with this if we’ve got fast outside players (Hodge, Lewis, Mitchell are all slow but surrounded by Smith, Rioili, Hartung, Hill, Poppy)
I’m not sure we have enough outside guys with legit leg speed tbd
Birdie num numWhenever I see that I think of that great band "Mr Floppy" and then end up with "Darren, where are the yellow pages.... I packed em" going through my head.
I'm like a bird, I only fly away I don't know where my home is, I don't know where my soul is.Nelly Furtado. She’s a good bird.
Quality album she released with that song also.
I prefer Folklore.

I guess that’s what everyone has been talking about with our lack of leg speed for the last 5 or so years. Zaka? Not overly quick. Cooney? Close to done. Fantasia? Seems to be earmarked as a defender. Not slow. Gleeson? Maybe. Evasive more than fast but still maybe. Jerrett? Not slow. What about Langford and Laverde? Long and McKenna?
Lots of maybes and ifs. No stand out candidates yet.

Zacka, Colyer, Merret, possibly jerret, cooney (if ever fit)
Building
Fanta, gleeson, lav perhaps
Hardly the only place we've got maybes and ifs. We've certainly picked up quicker guys in the last 3-4 years (Merretts, Gleeson, Fanta, Conor McK). None of them are established yet, but they've all shown a little. We haven't drafted a real clearance mid or a proper tall at all in that time span.

True. Apart from Daniher. Very true.
Don't fill this thread with Bird crap puns.What do you do when a bird drops one on your windscreen?
Never go out with her again.
I won’t stick my beak in this thread.
