gday boys, just thought i might let you all no a bit more about birchall if ny of you blokes are interested, i live down in devonport tassie!, old birchalls home, well he actually lives in shearwater! im his best mate and actually just was speeking to him last night about his game on friday, now im not a hawks supporter but i got a soft spot for em now lol, he said he did really well played on hirdy in the first half and struggled a little but did good enough to keep clarko happy, then got in a bit of a tangle with angus monfries lol, then moved onto kepler so he tells me! I got no doubt he will do a good job with you blokes, tall, athletic, similar game to pavlich if he matures as well as i hope! played seniors all year last year at devonport, mainly playing in the center and doing his job for the pies, was a great player and will be a big loss for them!, also represtented australia in Irland, and played tassie mariners! I see him devloping into a centerman by 2-3 years time, but you will be seeing him this year on the half back flank or that area anyway he tells me! a similar set up to what the dogs did with ryan griffen! anyway boys just thought id let you no a bit, if you wanna no any more just ask me!

no worries at all mate, just thought id let you all no a bit about him.

He barracked for st kilda befor he got drafted and was a fanatic supporter, me and him used to have some 3 hour convos after saints and doggies games, on the phone just discussin what went wrong and wat we gotta do next week lol!

He was rapt to be picked up by the hawks, he had a couple of meetings with them befor and he new if he was still available for there pick then they would take him, but it was his preferred choice team to go to, and it made it better to for him because you guys play in tassie a bit so if he cracks it to the big time, he will be right at home!

Ha, you've noticed my ugly mug on some of the other boards Hodgey? You are a smart man, it is all in the name of Dream Team research. :D I picked up Andrew Lovett last year and the extra 150 G certainly came in handy. :thumbsu: A couple more of those this year could come in real quite useful. Perhaps Grant isn't my man.
