SAAFL - Division 4

[Iron Fist]

we are talking about d bird
yes we are talking about north haven
has anything been said around portland.
we will be rather happy if he leaves,
the lonetivty in my eyes relies on the skill of d bird!
will portland crumble if he leaves with laslett and others following
i believe him and hicks are good friends????

sports beat - "birds of a feather flocking to north haven together"

[Iron Fist]

FM great call
i think the up and coming portland seige is crumbling like it did 2 years ago!!
can your B players step up and take control felch???

[Felch]

You are working your way back in form FM, slowly, but surely.

OI I DONT RECKON BIRD WILL LEAVE
NOT WILL ALL HIS MATES AROUND THE PLACE

[Felch]

A reliable source has told me Haven have offered Bird $400 a game to defect. Could this be to replace the expected departure of Hood and co ? Hmmm....something to think about......

[Iron Fist]

i dont think it is that much felch!!!!
what is the b grade now a grade ruckman like out at portland
heard he is ok, but has a tendency to loose his temper???
who in your opinion is the best team so far in Div 4???

[Felch]

Maybe you can ask Birdy about the Portland ruckman when he comes out to your training Thursday night, Fisty ?
Too early to calling best teams yet mate, only played 3 of them - of those 3, Pooraka was the better one, obviously.

[Iron Fist]

maybe i will
but isnt this a forum where we discuss things about div 4 football
there is no need to be smart in the response u give felch
i was just asking
I heard he is good???

[Iron Fist]

what club do u play for MMC????

[Micky McFinnigan]

you wouldnt like my answer to that one fisty, went to the same school of smarts as felch

[Felch]

True Fisty, this is the D4 forum, but it also seems to be a cess-pool of rumours and innuendo, and alot of game playing. Mind you, thats why i like it

[FootyMad]

Boys lets stop with this teasing, someone explain to me how on earth Bird could get a clearance (even if he wanted one) to play for Nth Haven? Especially seeing as though they are in the same div? Not going to happen, Bird will not leave Portland in 07 although if he's getting big offers, he is a young lad with a lot of footy left in him and Im sure the money will make his eyes roll back in his head..

[Felch]

You are well and truly back in form now FM - thats some of the most common sense stuff that i have ever heard, not only from you, but on this entire forum !!!

[Micky McFinnigan]

i want to hold an intervention, if this thread goes legit it will lose its sizzle, if serious sports talk is what people are after kg and cornsy are a good option

[Iron Fist]

im not up to date with all the bylaws of the SAAFL
but please tell me why he couldnt
if he is financial, i personally dont see why he couldnt get a clearance FM
this is my understanding but im not sure if this is corrrect

[Iron Fist]

i must agree with u MMC
knowing that portland are going to loose there best player puts a smile to my face!!

[FootyMad]

He'd only get a clearance if A) he is financial B) Has not played a senior game at Portland in 2007
This being said, the league has made similar clearances previously but this is on a case by case basis so he'd need to show a damn big reason and have a good strong tie to Nth Haven.
Personally I just cant see it happening - Bird wouldnt leave and if he did (for whatever reason) the league would probably stand by Portland FC and not clear him - but Flech would your mob hold him up if he wanted a clearance?

[Iron Fist]

fair enough
sounds like bird may have to play the season out under suference at portland!

[Felch]

FM, if he wanted to go, what good would it do to stop him, as long as the club wasnt financially disadvantaged. I know Birdy can handle himself, but it would be good to see how he went with 21 blokes wanting to have a crack at him.
