If T/Bird plays I'll be a bloody nervous wreck for the whole Freo match. Especially every time he goes for the ball.

I'm always the same every time one of our players comes back from a knee injury. I'll be even worse when Fish returns. I hope the medicos err on the side of caution with Bret.

That's stiff on the kid. Barely got air time last week and was pretty good against the filth.

I don't understand why he isn't given more air time during the game

Fitness I reckon. Is a typical impact forward pocket - will always struggle to run out a game.

Will benefit greatly from a run in the magoos IMO.

Well here's tomorrow - anticipation builds!

Also need to remember he came to the Club with poor fitness and a little overweight due to injury (OP?) last year, so starting a way back in his fitness.

He is also only in his first year, meaning he is young and will have a lot to learn, so you cannot expect him to always be at his best and he will get tired as the season goes on as most first year players do. I also reckon that if he proves good enough he will be developed as a mid-fielder, not just a goal sneak.

No problem with a run in the magoos, he'll be back.
