"With Kieren out I guess I have to step up my game as well to sort of take over his role a little bit," said Bird.

What were you doing before Craig, just loafing about??

As opposed to swanning about?
Thought he was good on the weekend - seems to me that if we're gonna play with the big boys we probably need someone like Birdy to have a Jack-like breakout year. Give 'em the Bird, Craig!Comment

Similar article in The Age, with a bit of extra info:
Bird swoops on defensive role
Still a handball wizard!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)Comment

Birdy birdy bird.
The jury is still out here.
If you don't pick your socks up son and do something ... anything ....Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

I agree with thiat, i didnt think he was all that good at all on the weekend. Certianly ok, but by no means good. He has never really played a great game as far as i can remember, but maybe that says more about my memory than Birds performances....
On a side note i dont think our team as a whole was very good on the weekend, and hasnt been particularly good at all for the whole season, which i think is a positive as we could only get better... right ?Comment

I find Bird a very frustrating player to watch - he often seems to have no awareness of what is around him. I hope he turns into a star, but I agree with Annie's comment - the jury is still out.Comment
