He fked his ankle on a paddock playing in the 2's.

didn't he have like 20 touches to half time in that game or something absurd? was going great guns in the middle from memory
When Sydney starts covering 12-14 kms a match then consider him in the midfield.
In a recent club photo there were 4 players in the photo 3 had good muscle definition in their quads Sydney did not so he still has a bit to go to reach that fitness.

To put it bluntly, I remember it as him kicking 4 goals up forward, then it went to his head and the very next week he immediately dropped all the team things in pursuit of kicking goals for himself, trying to be a flashy superstar, and not having the energy left to chase and tackle.
He still kicked 2 goals or something after he kicked the 4, but his priorities looked different (lack of tank forces you to make a decision) and it wasn't long enough until he was dropped.
That's why I slightly worry that if he plays forward too soon, he might lose sight of some of the great team stuff he does down back.
He'll be fitter now, so hopefully those grounded, level-headed team instincts become a non-negotiable part of his game in any position.
I had the same observation of Shai Bolton early on, so it's not about selfishness. I've come to the conclusion that when players are young and their bodies force them to make a decision between showcasing their talents or fulfilling the team actions, sometimes the future matchwinners are the ones who are more keen to showcase their talents right away.

To me there are two ways to look at it.
Where is his best position? I would lean towards the backline where his anticipation and delivery is a major asset.
Where is his best value to the team in 2022? Probably forward given the other options we have in the back half
Luxury problem, he could play either. I just hope one day he gets super fit and has a big tank because then I would stick him in the guts

Amen. Season of Redford only 30 days or so away. Hang in there Poking Faces.
Add the back flip to the reel and tell cornes to gagf!
Live your life Sydney.
Can only assume Cornes never drove a car in pre season, never crossed the road. Assume he stayed inside all pre season and dud nothing of risk. Actually explains more about him and his general struggle to interact with other homesapiens.
Certainly explains why he couldn't make it as a fireman.
I still maintain it's the greatest debut season I've ever seen by a Tiger.
If Syd is fit, he's a game changer.
You watch those highlights and you wander why he’s not a superstar by now.
If he gets back to that type of form he’s a game changer in the mould of Dusty or Bolton. A very important year ahead for Syd.
Sydney plays with bravado.
And lives with a bit of spunk.
If you try to squash that, you may end up with nothing.
Cornes is a maggot.

We don’t know Sydney’s personal risk at doing that move. My guess is it’s low risk for him and he’s done it lots and is good for him mentally.
What would peoples’ general views be on higher risk activities?
Should players forsake some individual freedom for team benefit or not? Sounds like a similar topic of conversation. We are already expecting sacrifice in terms of diet and exercise so the body is in a good condition. We also want players’ heads in a good space too - so not feeling overly restricted is important - at the same time doing an ACL waterskiing could screw up the team completely….
