The team we love

And from what we've seen and heard, they all love the contested ball, and relish laying a tackle. No backward steps from these blokes!!

http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/video/2015-10-30/draft-prospect-darcy-parish Clean hands, not afraid of the contest, nice kick and knows how to find the footy. Could compliment our young midfielders nicely.

You'd think any pick under #30 would be a win from where he is currently.

The journo's chatting with Harford on SEN said they believe Toumpas will play his footy somewhere else next year. Not sure on what the were basing it on but, just made a passing comment.

David King was just on SEN talking about the best set shots at goal this year (minimum 20). Hogan is the fourth most accurate at 68%. In comparison Jack Riewoldt at 52%. Posters have commented on his stagnated run up. If he keeps nailing them, he could kick on his head for all I care.

He is in the top few players for leg speed at the club. Don't you goevery week.? Numerous times he has easily beaten an opponent to the ball in a foot race to open space.

Watched Friday's game again. He is so strong through the hips that even when he is tackled he is able to stand up, get his arms free and dish off to someone else.

What we were really lacking in the last few years was structure. Note that Neeld referes to 'structure'. If you look at the better teams, they have structure in defence, in attack, at stoppages, at kickouts etc. With the young talent we have, we will be a better team if each player plays a specific role and we have a structure as a team. We're yet to see this talk transform into good football, but I think the new coaching staff will give us every opportunity to succeed. Bring on 2012 and beyond!
