    2021 Sydney Player Highlights (29/09/21 - Isaac Heeney)

    Damn Buddy is still incredible, long after he has no right to be so good. He looks like he has 5 of his best years ahead of him. With Buddy getting picked in the All Oz 40 for the umpteenth time, in the 9th year of a contract than began when many thought he was already past his prime, and in a...

    Toast Complete Champions for our Club

    Craig Bird. 2012 Premiership player. It's no coincidence that we won the 2012 GF with Bird (equal 4th for effective disposals) but lost the 2014 GF when Bird was used as sub. When he did come on he had an immediate impact, picking up 8 disposals, 7 of them effective and half of them contested...

    Past Jordan "I don’t think Sydney fans should be nervous at all" Dawson: Grand Theft Completed, traded 2021 to Adelaide

    Oh fantasic, my very own stalker. Seriously, why not pop off back to your Adelaide Cows now Sunshine. Racist Walker and Soggy Stalker. It's got a nice ring to it. You were meant for each other. Go cool your heels. Perhaps you can pop back here for a brief stint as our whipping boy, after we...

    Past Jordan "I don’t think Sydney fans should be nervous at all" Dawson: Grand Theft Completed, traded 2021 to Adelaide

    I would hardly call a few lines an essay and I certainly didn't label anyone as insane. I merely suggested that someone who took such a parochial view of Adelaide probably lacked a wider world perspective. By the standards of most world cities, Adelaide is rather dull. I've never known anyone to...

    Past Jordan "I don’t think Sydney fans should be nervous at all" Dawson: Grand Theft Completed, traded 2021 to Adelaide

    The only personal attack was the aformentioned poster's questioning of my mental health. My only crime, in his eyes, was to describe Adelaide as a terribly dull city, a view shared by almost every sane person who's ever had the misfortune to visit the place. Most would consider visiting Adelaide...

    Past Jordan "I don’t think Sydney fans should be nervous at all" Dawson: Grand Theft Completed, traded 2021 to Adelaide

    I don't hate Adelaide anymore than I hate the skin that forms on a cup of hot milk. Hanging out on another teams' board just in case you need to defend the honour of your little town is hardly healthy behaviour. Get out and see the world, live somewhere else for a few years and you'll see...

    It's not a personal thing at all. If you don't like the truth stay off our board

    Past Jordan "I don’t think Sydney fans should be nervous at all" Dawson: Grand Theft Completed, traded 2021 to Adelaide

    So taking into account both Dawson and Ladhams tradea we're down about 30 points, or a pick 44. Given Horse's ability to shuffle the deck and restructure the team even better, and given how many good youngsters are knocking on the door, we'll do just fine. Revenge on Adelaide will come but we'll...

    Past Jordan "I don’t think Sydney fans should be nervous at all" Dawson: Grand Theft Completed, traded 2021 to Adelaide

    Quite why any player would join the Crows, for any amount of money, is beyond me. Jordan's partner must have put some sort of ultimatum on the table. He'll look back on this decision with regret, as it dawns that he's playing with a bunch of bottom-dwelling racists. Nicksy's a great bloke but...

    Player Watch #20 Sam Reid

    Perhaps he could have been dual premiership has he not been injured through 2016. Reid's always worked well with Buddy. We missed him in the 2016 GF, relying on Kennedy to kick 3, our best score. Buddy got the one but so Nick Smith. Tippet was stuffed by then and Xav RIchards had only played a...

    Player Watch #20 Sam Reid

    Perhaps there was never a compelling need but With an under-sized ageing Ramps, an under-sized Fox, and even McCartin a bit under-sized, plus Brand gone we might have a rethink on using Reid, particularly if Melican is unfit and/or we want to move a play-maker like Fox or Lizard to cover the...

    Past #23 Buddy Franklin - Thanks Buddy

    I don't know whether this link ever made it onto our board but for those who haven't read it (like me) it's a very thoughtful and insightful analysis of Buddy , how he competes, what he brings to our team and to the game as a whole. He's a far more remarkable talent than he's usually given...

    Player Watch #20 Sam Reid

    IMO Reid would make an excellent tall defender. He's always been the first choice to swing into defence in the dying minutes of a quarter. His kicking for goal is probably his weak spot but he can mark, spoil, read the ball in flight and he's handy when it hits the deck. He's also not afraid to...

    Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom

    He never looked quite right after the injury in round 1 against Brissy. That strange hyper-extension where one of his legs seemed to do its own thing, as if his brain had issued instructions to every part of his body but forgot to inform that one leg. Oh James, knees are only designed to bend...

    Review Pre 2021 Trade Period Discussion

    I agree. I've said it before, there's no real advantage from adding established players to fill key roles when a club is still buidling a solid base from the draft. As our premiership window opens and we ease our salary cap space a bit next year we can start to look to fill any gaps. When I see...
