Bird For The Brownlow
The Swans are excited about Craig Bird, and they have a lot of reasons why, as it won’t be too long until he is leading them in possessions and he will be one of the players they build the club around when the Kirk-Barry-Hall generation retire.
The Swans have given the number 14 jumper to Bird, a sign that they think he is a future star. The Swans also went into trade week with the intention of clearing out some midfield players, while moving out salary was one reason they did it another is that Bird is ready for a big role in the middle.
If Bird does follow what Paul Kelly did, then plenty of awards could be on the way to Bird in the future.
