Afl Twitter site saying Craig Bird is open to a trade, would be good at the right price.

    Great, now I have Peter Griffin stuck in my head on a loop.

    Thanks.

    But I'd be all for Bird coming to the MFC.

    Bugg Bird... character from the NZ production of Sesame Street.

    As I heard yesterday, Bird had approx 6 straight games where he was in the best for swans reserves at the end of the season, when the Swans suffered midfield injuries, yet he still couldn't get back into the side during finals.

    Apparently something has happened where the leadership group at Sydney has blackballed Bird, demanded he not be selected, and he will not be returning to the swans regardless of what he wants.

    I'd offer a 3rd round pick. Bird can play, and always looked well conditioned. At the very least he is a professional, could be a good replacement for Cross.

    I am glad you know who he is. I did not know he had any best days or any days at all.

    I don't rate him. Looked out of place in Swans midfield as a weak link in their depth. That unfortunately probably puts him thereabouts with Meilksham, Bugg & Kennedy. No thanks. Slow, not great skills and can make bad decisions. Used to be very reliable but seems to have lost pace and dropped behind a string of younger midfielders at Swans.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
