There was play in the centre where the ball was going to adams, but heeney intercecepted it and fumbled. In a flash adams was able to adjust and tap the ball back up over to heeney. It was incredibleAdams was in a few great links.
Also apart from the Tigers game everyone is running both ways, Hayward Heeney etc will be in a play on the wing then at a contest forward.

can we have Adams and Parker in the same team? Similar players and similarly slow
Serong got lots of the ball, but wouldn't say he was hitting targets and setting up scores? Young a Clarke provide run and are both good uses by foot, Serong is an accumulator that wins the hard ball and distributes to those guys. Always better to stop the outside runners that set up scores. Serong is a great player, but run and carry disposals from both the other 2 hurt an opposition team more than 30 from Serong.Just got home from the game.
I must admit, I saw it a bit different to most.
I didn’t see “manic Sydney pressure” as the press has reported. Instead, I saw a Freo side playing an aggressive running game that troubled us - but it did enable us to punish them on turnover.
And if it wasn’t for their wonky goal kicking, the score would have been very close at half time. It was not a dominant performance by Sydney.
Main positive for me - I’m now a JJ convert. He ran with Clarke, as well as spending some time on Young and O’Meara. And whoever he played on struggled.
The only question - can he offer more than a negating role? If he can - he’s going to be a real asset for plenty of years.
And Warner looked incredibly good when he played forward.
I found it curious that Sydney clearly saw Young and Clarke as the key men to contain - not Serong.
Overall, a solid win, but not a dominant win.
That’s an interpretation of the journalist, considering circumstances. There’s a legal process involving autopsy and police investigation. The coroner’s office will look at circumstances and decide if further investigation is required. Rightly, we don’t know the details. It’s not hard for the publication to add those phone numbers if there is any possibility.You can always tell by the listing of the phone numbers of Lifeline, Beyond Blue etc
I dunno, I feel like he is on a McLean trajectory. I expect (or is it hope?) for him to keep better bit by bit. He just signed a contract and seems a better player than last year. Though agree he is still patchy and has a ways to go.I just don't know with Joel. Get the feeling he's going to tease us for years until the next contract extension is due. I hope I'm wrong because if all 3 of them can come good I'll be wrapped.
Parker deserves a spot. Period.
People talk about him being "O'Keefe'd" forgetting that Ryno started the 2014 season and played poorly in 4 consecutive games, 3 of them losses.
Parker lost his spot through injury and is dominating in the VFL. He's a legend of the club who has stayed loyal despite multiple big money offers to leave.
If he comes in and plays poorly for a month, sure, but he deserves better than to just wait around until someone gets injured.
Along with his fitness, it’s him building confidence in himself, his game and that he believes he belongs at the level.I dunno, I feel like he is on a McLean trajectory.

That would suit me fine. Been very happy how McLean has improved himself and continues to do so.I dunno, I feel like he is on a McLean trajectory.

Parker is 100% a loss, an injury or one mid losing form away from playingParker deserves a spot. Period.

I suspect it's a combination of a number of things. No Buddy, plus Sydney getting smarter with their ball movement means that the best option is being selected more. Grundy coming into the team which means that more clearances and quicker ball movement is happening.Not so much full forward but looks like he is targeted more by the mids. I am sure there is a stat showing I am wrong
Warner also seems forward more which I don't mind
Yep, Adam’s was good in tough contests last night, it is similar to Parker, Adam’s is better by foot. The role he seemed be playing is one where the ball often goes past you, but rewatching some this morning, he does the tough stuff. I was disappointed w Robert’s last night, thought he was quiet and poor defensively, seemed to let his man off the leash and ball watch at times.Not sure about that
Yeah agree re Adams.Yep, Adam’s was good in tough contests last night, it is similar to Parker, Adam’s is better by foot.

Agree, Lloyd proved the saviour a number of times last night, great composureYeah agree re Adams.
Roberts yeah maybe a down game , still learning though.
Not that it's linked but thought Lloyd continued his good form after a slowish start with finding a role around Roberts.
And a fantastic goal to add to it. It's great to see, Lloyd could have dwindled down after a role change and made this his final year, instead, he's taken it on and had a great year so farAgree, Lloyd proved the saviour a number of times last night, great composure
He had a few bad possessions and missed 1 spoil. But McCartin is good for those in a game as well to be fairWtf soo much hate for Aaron Francis. Hes not Tom mccartin but he played his role well.
Currently watching replay.Wtf soo much hate for Aaron Francis. Hes not Tom mccartin but he played his role well.
Gulden loves a handball and sprint to create jmac also
