Sydney v Brisbane Rd 1

[Rod_]

Agree Logan looked like a calf or heel… hopefully not a reoccurrence of last years issues.

Best case is that Errol was precautionary (hopefully) till scans confirm tomorrow

Issac with no ice, also hoping tweak only


Thursday is not far away.


Corey, McLean, Cleary and Adam’s on standby …

They said hamstring tightness for Heeney. When Errol walked around the boundary he let his arm hang loose and moved it. Maybe he just had a stinger and his arm in a sling was just a standard procedure. I suspect he will play next week. Pretty sure Logan played out the game. It looked to me that may have slightly twisted his ankle.

Injuries will be interesting - will test our lack of depth

There is a delta team within the swans best team but boy oh boy how quality is Heeney

first class !!!!

Chad did not seem to be his effervescent self tonight. Had a black arm band on but more comcerning is the fact that he was doubled up a at times during the night like he was struggling for breath, Hope he is ok.
The lions clung to Charlie like bees in a honey pot ad he did not have many chances where as they left Joel alone. TOnights games tells me that unless its Ladhams (who is shocking in his kicking) or Hayden (who I think is our best back up to Brodie, He can ruck some minutes giving brodie a break, like the time Brody was copped by that snipper Cameron and can kick gaola and mark up forward and is probably a better allround shot for Goal than Joel who certainly aint not back up ruck. Roberts does not pick up his mand nor does Jake L. Too often they were both metres away from their opponents particularly in the third and final qrts, They we ol when we we well in front and could run in front of the ball but this won't happen regularly we were too loose in quarters 3 and 4.
also did the reserves play a practice game against the giants and is o who played and who can replave Errol and perhaps Issac. Could Kyle replace Errol.

Two blokes had their best games for the club last night: Amartey and Bice. I know Joel kicked nine in one a couple of years ago but he the way he was moving, jumping, marking and even tackling was so impressive. And Bice’s run and carry was just brilliant.

I’m less bothered by the second half. We kicked inaccurately and could have easily piled on another four or five goals, and whilst Brisbane played keeping off for the third quarter, they never took the ball anywhere which suggests our defence down the ground was in order.

I’d probably give Lizard three votes, with McCartin, Joel and Bice not far behind. The other shout out is Gus. His disposal was a bit tidier but the main thing he’s improved this year is his ability to run. He’s covering the ground so much better.

And good to see the captain winding his way back into good form.

That was a significant win as it put us 8 points clear of Brisbane who will bounce back.

With such a good start to the season and only a 5 day break, can't see the club risking both Heeney & Gulden against the Hawks , even if optimistically their injuries are on the minor end. Need to play the long game, it's only March.

After the Hawks, we have a bye and then away against the WC. A handy break for both, particularly Gulden and pethaps also for Logan with his lower leg (saw him in the rooms chatting with Cox post game).

I.did take heart from Cox's presser that he new game plan is more about system than personnel. With this in mind, Thursday's game against the Hawks is another opportunity to put 8 points on another finals contender and put to test this system without super stars Heeney & Gulden.

The backline played well- McCartin and Bice and of course the Lizard. I thought Wicks was our least effective but in fairness he had Cameron who is a very difficult opponent. Lloyd’s spot is up for grabs, surely.
