Agreed. Swan is the one who can take you apart.matrixcutter wrote:he'll come in and tag swan, davis, thomas, or lockyer.....
swan for mine i reckon.
damaging player.
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Birss should come on... Was good against the Dons and was a shock omission last week...
Wouldnt drop Gwilt tho... Had 3 good games before the Cats, and he wasnt alone in having a poor one there...
I'd drop Eddy and Charlie for Birss and Armo... If Blake isnt right, M.Gardiner maybe??.... Tough week for selections...

Thanks for raising this Fugazi,
ever since Sinday I have been wanting start a Birss thread.
Initially I was happy that X was named, but it seemed that it was at the expense of Birss.
In the end this seems to have been a mistake, as I believed posters reports that X was carving up the VFL. But he looked rusty and not up to speed & I dont subscribe to the better for the run arguments.
So looking back at the year, what has Birss done? Is he a bad trainer? Bad clubman? Parks in Westaways carpark? Why is it that he constantly gets dropped after what I consider more than serviceable games???

he wasn't in the best for the VFL. The VFL for christ sake

Your boy Gilbert will be lucky to keep his spot.
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

I dunno mate...Heath Shaw barely got a kick on him last time he played against the Pies, so I'm sure forms got a lot to do with it. I know his no Greg Williams, but I'm not sure we're talking about the same Birss here???Gilbert=Legend wrote:what is f*** is wrong with you people?

I don't give a stuff about gilbert, he head was on the chopping block months ago. (name reflects a joke to a friend of mine)
Well of course he couldn't get on the best without playing, but lets see when was the last time he got in the best 5. Every week its armo, stevens and mac with Allen up there as well. Not birss.
Birss has the strength of a 5 year old and the sprint on a 80 year old.
Go back to the first magpie game. Shaw bumped him off it 5 times.
Essendon Game. bumped off by their first gamer!!!
Same aginst adelaide, port adelaide, and brisbane, and melbourne and that bulldogs game was a joke.
He is weak and a massive liability.
'evertonfc' "who would i bring in" armo, stevens.

Thought he runs more like Donald Duck to be honest.Gilbert=Legend wrote:Birss has the strength of a 5 year old and the sprint on a 80 year old.
Anyway...bumps or not...pantsed Shaw in that earlier game, and has a lot of upside. Generally good (confident) disposal, can kick a goal, and I agree, better than Armo

That's the match I was looking at...Swan chops us up time and again. Birss has been a reasonable stopper against the Pies, that's where his value is. If he can do that and push forward for a goal (as he's done in the past), why not??? Can't see many other possible inclusions suiting this game as well.perfectionist wrote:His lack of pace is well suited to a number of Pies players, especially Swan. Swan is a deceptive player however, he has a very good second effort when he looks buggered.
