Craig Bird injury

[Doctor]

An angry, angry young man near me was booing Adam and calling him a "dirty traitor", I was about to say something when a Saints fan stood up and shouted at him "His heart was with Sydney, it always has been. He was traded because of the salary cap. Learn your facts! He is a premiership player for you, show some respect! Support your past players."

The angry young Swans fan was quite upset by the outburst, the majority of other Swans fans in the area were quite pleased!

That's fantastic and good on the Saints fan. I couldn't have said it better myself. Thankfully noone was booing him near me that I could hear, although I could certainly hear the booing from other parts.

now we have extra room in the salary cap, should we poach him back?

Would that be possible ? or is that tongue in cheek Personally I would LOVE to see him back !!

Yes, when are we going to get our booing conventions down pat? It was my understanding that Schneids was bitterly disappointed at being traded. Good luck to him in what is emerging as a career best season for him. I for one will never forget his incredible final quarter in the 05 PF, ironically against the Saints.

OK to boo - Rocca, Gaspar, Grant and ROK had he left.

Not OK to boo - Schneider, Dempster, Stafford, Troy Cook, Licuria (but then again Licuria went to Collingwood so its acceptable to boo Collingwood players regardless of how they arrived there because it shows a lack of moral judgement, ie wouldn't you rather give footy away than playing with the scum?).

This is how I feel it should work.

A lot of people were booing his shot on goal at the CS end. Nothing to do with who the player is - just that it's a set shot. Boo boo chewy on your boot etc.

Back to Bird. I think we are superior side with him in.
Hopefully can get treatment and not too serious an issue that can recover well and be back for preseason.

A bird with a clipped wing, will learn to run faster.

Bad luck to Birdy.

Guess it's time for Braba to stake his claim unless Bucky is back from injury.

Thornton was also impressive for the ressies playing in the midfield on the weekend.

Scratch that Bucky is out for the season with the knee now!

@@@@ that's rotten luck for him.

Oh God NO!!!!!, will always thank him for his efforts as he is a premiership player but at best he is what he is now a inconsistant Half/forward who will always add something to a team like StKilda or Sydney in Priemership mode looking for some x-factor to top things off and add variety.

Yep, exactly right.

Ok, but just to clarify was it ok to laugh at Stafford?

I'm detecting a sense of on-field groupie envy.
