Delisted #24: Craig Bird - Not offered a contract for 2018 - 24/10

[Kakkle]

Welcome!


Essentially a swap for pick 44.

 

[katana]

looks like a cricketer for some reason.

 

[Zach Package]

Plays off the front or back foot, cannon of an arm as well

 

[Don Won]

Welcome!


Essentially a swap for pick 44.

Thought we got a good deal but now I think we blewett

 

[BrunoV]

Most majestic pull shot in the game.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Hope he's gotten over that incident with Ambrose.

 

[hurlygurdy]

******* love this trade! Give's the young guys a serious challenge to overcome if they want to break into the side. Plus it's not impossible that he may find his niche and get ahead in the pecking order.

 

[Doss]

Most majestic pull shot in the game.

Was very vulnerable to the old jag back between bat and pad though.

Welcome to Essendon, Craig!

 

[ant555]

Greg Blewitt

 

[Summer Nights]

When was the last time we had a Craig on our list?

 

[Mootsy]

Some hilights...

 

[DapperJong]

lol kakz

 

[Jesse Custer]

Haha Greg Blewitt was a gun

 

[Pweter]

This guy landed us pick 5 for Carlisle. For that he's in the good books from day 1.

He's a tough, honest footballer who doesn't take any short cuts on the field. Woosha will love him I reckon and as such he'll be best 22 if not best 18 from round 1. Blokes are going to have to earn their stripes next season.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Good addition.

 

[Rack Watts]

Can apparently accumulate if not played as a defensive mid.
That's really good!!!!

 

[Mootsy]

Bird is also the kind of player who can kick to leads...

[eth-dog]

Welcome mate. Like him because he nests us pick 5 and he'll release Hocking as a tagger.

 

[Bombers36]

pretty impressive stats;-

ave disposals - 17, tackles - 4, golas - 0.4, marks - 2.6

plus more importantly 137 games and lots of finals experience...

He'll go well I reckon

 

[rumply]

Welcome Birdman, handy addition

 

[BrunoV]

******* love this trade! Give's the young guys a serious challenge to overcome if they want to break into the side. Plus it's not impossible that he may find his niche and get ahead in the pecking order.

Because that is a method that has served us well.

 

[Darealrath]

From memory he's got a decent turn of foot over a short distance; I wouldnt consider him slow.

Takes the spot of Ambrose or Howlett for mine, and is a clear, if unglamorous, upgrade.
