Fiora was a pick 3. I really hope Birss does find a club because he was integral in St Kilda's revival last year in the forward line alongside Riewoldt. I think someone like Geelong should take a look at him.

Birss could provide something for a team lacking in the midfield but I am sure a younger 18 year old would be a better pick especially with the Gold Coast coming in. I think the top 3 would be: 1) Watts 2) Rich 3) Nit Nat btw on a previous post I looked at what each club would be looking for. http://www.kick2kick.net/afl/what-does-your-afl-club-need I doubt Fiora will get a 3rd chance after failing at both Richmond and St Kilda.
