Birdy has obviously worked hard on his fitness over the off season because if anything was going to hold him back as a bona fide AFL star it would be he tends to be on the rotund side.
A foot injury will not help him at all

That's awful. At the game at BOP (I love that acronym) my father and I were discussing how fit he was looking and he really seemed ready to go for the season. Booo!
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
If Twitter is a reliable source, that's terrible news for Bird and bad news for the team. He was among our best last weekend and promised to be like that for the season. I wish him patience and a swift recovery.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Spoke to his dad tonight, he said he was told to not run for 4 weeks and should be back playing in 6. Poor kids not feeling real flash, but like his dad said better to do it now than a couple of weeks before the finals
The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point...
It's rotten luck. Amazing how many young players suffer long term injuries in their first few seasons of senior footy. We've had Johnstone, Veszpremi, Meredith and now Bird all go down in last couple of seasons. There's been others too.
