Craig Bird fallen from the nest ?

[Primmy]

An astute observation, funny thing is, when Paul Kelly began with the Swannies, he was referred to quite frequently as "a human kelpie" ~ not quite a labrador pup but perhaps all canine recruits get put into #14?

Thanks, but I actually meant using very poor english, that Jude was the gallumping puppy. He used to go red in the face. I can see Kell as a Kelpie though, in under and nip the ankles. We already have a bulldog.

Craig is less of a fallumper; he kind of lurks and then makes quick decisions, but has a tendancy to let the more senior players take the lead. Not like Dan Hannerbry, who was born with his inner confidence switch turned up to full volume. Craig will find his way, with time.

in the games he has played i just don't think he gives a good enough 2nd effort, always seems to be around the pack waiting for a loose ball. (Yes i have seen him at the bottom of a pack so dont start "he is not a receiver")
To me he doesn't seem to be accountable, is he tagging someone or are the opposition tagging him and if they are, where the heck are they???????

U must be watching another game champ, he is always on his man when the opp have the ball. And for the amount of gametime he has his numbers are more than adequate

I'm a big Bird fan (as opposed to a Big Bird fan, more a Grover type...), has the potential to be a pivotal midfield player for us. Do hope he has the run with injuries that his talent/perseverance deserve.

[Nico]

It is pretty difficult to judge a player on his form from 4 games given he had a second foot injury, that appear these days to be the hardest to get over. Drew Petrie has been in the same boat.

No doubt Bird is a talented footballer but has his work cut out to be in the best 22 at the start of the season.
