Thought Syd was very good yesterday.
Did some of his best work during warm up! 4 shots from the forward pocket boundary fence, for 4 goals.
Can’t wait to see him have a full year

Built into he game nicely did young Sydaknee. There's a kid who does not like getting beaten in a contest, plenty of second n third efforts.

He got to a few contests he almost didn't have a right to get to.

Bit different to Houlihan who used to have a perfect half step to just get there that fraction late! A trait that seemed to run in the family.

The maturity this kid has gone through over the past 12 months is phenomenal. This was evident tonight during his interview on the Australian Story.

Marlion should be very, very good for Stackman I would have thought, seems to idolize him already.

Syd loves the limelight and may be open to the pitfalls of instant fame and fortune.

I am sure Marlion is the one person he would listen to if he ever required a bit of grounding.

Agree, but I think the club does that just fine. I had big worries that Shai would become a glory hunting, limelight chasing pretty boy, but he's changed and is now playing a team game without much fanfare.

We're just so *smile* great that I can't understand why anyone would support any other club.

I were not talking about on field exploits, as far a that goes happy for Stacky to bring out the trumpets, trombone and the whole brass band ;) I were referring to possible off field influences and choices.

Yeah, me too. Shai struck me as being a bit too big for his boots when he started off and there was a risk he'd go chasing the glamour and $$ early.

Stacks doing the complete opposite atm. Off field he looks extremely stable and well grounded.

I think he was heading that way early last season, I've no doubt he was firmly set straight after a couple of selfish acts.

The moment in the Grand Final when he gave the ball off and ran to shepherd was a huge step forward for him.
His shepherd up in Brissie to allow Daniel to run & bounce & goal was a thing of beauty

Was it Adams that sat over him on the ground wanting to go on with a tackle in the 3rd? I'd have punched him but Stackie just rubbed his head and got up and took his free kick. Showed some maturity/control there did the lad.

Thought Syd looked a bit lost in the 1st quarter, but was pleased to see him get back to last seasons form after that.
