Most players have had it drilled into them to go head first because these type of incidents have been suspensions in the past. Parker led with the hip and Impey came off second best.

If this is now ok then everyone can go back to leading with the hip again.
Run head first at each other? I disagree that it is as black and white as you see it.

I think Sydney are just the perfect example of a system team.

Build the game plan, get a good enough core to deliver it and lead it and then you can just keep plugging new players into the holes and they get lifted straight up by the rest.

As long as you can maintain that critical mass of core contributors, and continue to make the plan understandable to the rest, you are apples for a long time. Just keep cycling the right talent through via trade and draft.

That’s where we need to get to. Sustained, consistent execution of a game plan by a talented core. Then all the C graders that we lynch each week come into their own as role players. Going to take time to get there.

I am envious of no supporter base more than Sydney’s. Would they have gone to any game in the last decade without feeling like they were a great chance to win? Plus you get the Buddy show on top.

What a luxury.
I think Geelong & Hawthorn do much the same thing

I never really get this argument. We are what we are. No better or worse because of a result in a match between two other clubs.
To be honest I just want a win so we can’t break records and go winless for a season. That’s my main concern during these rebuilding stages. :p
