It's not that easy to change the way you play. Parfitt would have slowed down a bit. He could work on his fitness in terms of running and maybe do more match simulation training to help with making quick decisions instead of hesitating. Maybe it's a coaching problem.
I'd say it's a mix of everything, he fell outta favor last year and seems to have lost all confidence, he went from best 22 to being a fringe player and now is under even more pressure with Bowes and Bruhn fighting for midfield time.
Every player has things they cannot change ie: Physical Attributes
Losing Grand finalists have a poor record against their nemesis the first game the next season.
Rohan in for Stengle.
That's the article I read.
We beat Hawks twice in 2009
Is Bews free to play again yet?
Maybe that doesn't work for him- he needs to be part of the pace of the real game, and he should have time and opportunity to do so now.
Do a Mark Taylor and declare on 334 Not out....
Swans will be without Tom McCartin, Rampe, Franklin, Hickey and Reid. That evens things up when we are short Stanley, J Henry, Stengle and probably Bews. May even tip it in our favour especially down home.
Papley will lead MOC on a merry Irish jig I feel.... I hope im wrong and would luv Bews to be back but I reckon he's still in protocols.
If it is dry and we win in the midfield it should mean we win handsomely as our forward line should do the job on an undermanned Swans defence.
