when i went to the stk vs syd match it showed the injury list on the scoreboard and it had ablett on it.
yeah, also said he was out for three weeks..
On Ablett, if he hasnt got a bit more fit, then i dont want to see him play.
He looked off the pace against the Saints, and with another dangerous midfield opposition we need able bodies..

How do you Sydney supporters rate Bird...
Is he expected to do big things this year? or in the future
How many game will u get out of him?

I reckon you will need Hall to step up to win

Bird had a poor first game but he will be a gun when he finds his feet (or wings :D).

In hindsight i dont really mind Bird having a quiet 1st game, if anything it might take some pressure off him for the long run.
Take for example Barlow brilliant 1st game then average 2nd&3rd, punters were expecting him to keep producing blinders after 3 games of senior footy.
Bird will at least have relaxed a bit, had a taste of the real thing, not to mention in a game that was super defensive.
With a bit more room to move im keeping him in my SC this week anyway.

We should have a competition of the worst pun involving Craig Bird. There's some absolute shockers goiong around. Very cringeworthy :p

So no changes, just the extended bench shenanigans. I'd like to see Barlow and Mathews included but will it happen?
i reckon big chance barlow for bevan
and maybe ablett's under pressure, although it's his 100th game, i believe, so will probly be okay for this week
but certainly, roos will be weighing up bringing in barlow

Definitely need his creativity in the field. Just hope they put up a good display on Sunday when we're all there, they've had the preseason so there's really no excuse bar Malch.

There will be at least one change. Just on Bird, I also think its a good thing that he had a quiet first game. Can you imagine the hype if he had a blinder first up? Lets ease him into senior footy.

on SEN radio David Schwartz claimed there is a problem with Roos and Goodes,when questioned by reporter Mark Robinson he refused to say more.
it might go back to the captaincy issue.

Goodes is a big enough man not to let that affect him.

Does anyone know why McLaren hates the Swans so much?
he did the 2005 GF and put the whistle away in the last quarter which suited us.
the only decent umpire is mat james,we only get him once a year but we get magots like mclaren and mcinerney every second week
