That's a great win by Sydney. The best sides hold on, grind down their opponents, and then put them away.
I am sold on them and we'll need to be bloody good to beat them.

Has he been wasted for most of his career? Far better than Mills, Parker and Adams who he is covering for.

I still think GWS is the best in it. Not as sold on Sydney's defense or midfield vs the best in the comp.
Their flankers and xfactor players are out of this world good though. Gulden, Blakey, Warner, Campbell, Heeney, Papley etc

Have a bit of an in with Sydney. Has said he has struggled with his body most of his career. Hasn’t really been fully right at any time. Feeling as good now as anytime in his career.
We underestimate just how banged up these guys are most of the time. Only need to be 10-20% off to be brought back to the pack.
The biggest impact on “form” is carried injuries. The guns like Bont, Fyfe, Cripps, Judd, Dusty etc. don’t lose ability, it’s injuries that they are carrying predominately.
As an example, Cripps “form” didn’t dip 2022 after the blistering start in his Brownlow year, he pinged his string in round 4 against GC - only missed the 1 game the following week, the pre-season work he had done allowed him to comeback and put together another 3 to 4 games of quality before the niggles started to get to him. Hamstring related back & calf tightness, the on-going shoulder & knee niggles etc. Injury management is the biggest determiner of form for these guys.
Firmly believe if Fyfe’s body didn’t disintegrate between his Brownlow years of 2015/19 we’ d be having conversations about where he sits amongst the greats of the game.
It’s a cruel tough sport.
Most of us are even tougher in our assessment and expectations of the unbelievably gifted humans that play the game we love at the highest level.
