Craig Bird

[bennyfrou]

Dicky Bird is 150/1 for the Rising Star on Sportsbet. Could be worth a small investment.

I might put a tenner on him.

Another swans supporter on your favourite site said they wacked a 50 on him if he wins it will be a nice pay day.

$50 might be too much but it will be a good pay if I put even $10 on him.

But I'm a bit worried though, he might not play in every game.

I have a sneaking suspicion he will. As long as he is fit enough for AFL level he has got to be in contention to start the H&A season.

I'll be putting some money on him for the rising star - something between $10 and $50 ha.

Would it ever! Seriously considering it myself, but I don't exactly have a "spare $50", so it's risky.

The smart money has already gone done. Currently he's at 80/1 with a bullet!!

$50 at those odds is still delicious!

That's $4000 baby

Yours perhaps?

I imagine at this stage of the season it wouldn't take much to shift the odds quite a bit.

You could buy a lot 2008 Premiership merchandise!

You get more than that for having a baby!

But it wouldn't last long! You should know how much those pesky little things cost and the bigger they get the more they cost. You're stuck with them for at least 16 years.

You know what they say about a fool and his money!!

I'm on the Bird bandwagon. I was from the moment I saw him on the field. For a 19 year old midfielder, he is BIG, but he's also very quick, and seems to have a great footy brain. I might just slip some money on him for the Rising Star myself.

I'm heading to the TAB at lunch time today.

Could I buy the cup itself?

I'm not 18 yet, but I'll be heading down on Sunday I reckon!

1000/1 for the Brownlow on TAB Sportsbet.

That is ridiculously light on!

TAB sportsbet are a disgrace.

[Old Royboy]

I get your drift, but they have given him no.14 and he just seemed to have the X factor on Sunday. He looks to have the goods beyond his years as far perception goes and thinks quickly.

I am sure deep down Roos knows when someone has genuinely got it at that age. He was a prodigy at 18. Besides he must know that our midfield needs regeneration NOW.

The last time we had a kid burst onto the scene like this was in 2003 when Schneider announced himself in a big way at an otherwise miserable NAB Cup game against Brisbane at Stad Oz. He very quickly became a first team regular. I expect the same with Dicky Bird this year.
