NEWS: Birchall has been named in the previous 2 Rounds and then been a late withdrawal just before the matches with a knee injury. It has been very frustrating for owners. He is surely very close though if he continues to be named and is being taken out just before the match. We suspect he will go in Round 6. | ||||

NEWS: Hawthorn football operations manager Mark Evans told AFL.com.au on Tuesday night "He did some training today. He got the point of someone else's knee into the side of his knee, just below the joint. So it's been a little bit irritable and swollen for him underneath the knee. It's not actually in his knee." | ||||

NEWS: Birchall was a late withdrawal from Hawthorn's Round 4 match against West Coast on the weekend. Birchall was subbed out of the game late in Round 3 suffering a knee injury and wasn't able to get up in time to play. Birchall is questionable to play in Round 5 at this stage. | ||||

NEWS: Birchall truly came on in 2011 at a young age of only 23, he is entering the prime of his career as a similar type player to that of Corey Enright. We have big wraps on this kid, and think he is a terrific buy in a shallow defence list this year. He plays in a likely Top 4 side and we still think he has more potential to give, especially when some of the Hawks shutdown defenders come back from injury and free him up further. | This is a 2012 outlook article. | |||
