Bird lands on number 14

[TheGrimReaper]

Apparently on bigfooty someone posted that the number 14 jumper will go to Craig Bird! Is this true? If so, well done to Craig Bird.

No idea, if it is true. But it is about time they dusted it off.

[TheGrimReaper]

I agree. I wonder what other changes have been made.

Bird handed historic jersey (FOX Sports).

Next step is for Veszpremi to get Maxfield's 11.

Could he be our next long term Captain, given both Skilts and Kells captained the club for 10 years each?

I hope the young fella just goes about making the number his own.

I thought that folks on here had already identified that this should have gone to Paul Bevan?

[TheGrimReaper]

Hell yeah boy!!!

Expect him to play next year.

There's a lot of history in that number, hopefully Birdman will wear it with pride.

Shouldnt this be in the "The biggest joke of the year thread"because it bloody is.

Why?

Have you seen him play?

I'm just happy they are giving it to someone. IMO it was a bit silly not having someone wearing it for 5 years. It's only a number.

Theres only 3 players worthy of it IMO Goodes,B2 and Tiger.That number has been worn by the two greatest players ever to wear the Red and White not some bloody rookie.

Why? Skilton wasn't a champion when he first wore the number 14 on his back, and neither was Kelly. They both developed into outstanding players, and Bird could do the same.

I'm just happy it's going to a NSW boy Good luck, Bird!

It will be good to see the No 14 again. Swantastic, good players rarely change the number that they have made their name in. The No 14 would never be worn again if we waited for someone "worthy".
