Well we will find out over the next few weeks how much Syd wants to rebuild his career and his life.

Hopefully he gets a head of steam up and gets into it.

I will always remember his 2019 Dreamtime game and the way he led the ceremony before the game. The joy and pride was something to see.
The way he plays is such a joy to watch but he has been so far off the rails it is very difficult to see how we will see it again in the black and yellow.

Flying is the word that came to mind when I saw the footage on Fox of Syd doing backward running , put razor ray to shame .

wouldn't expect him to be fit, he has no record of being able to stay fit while isolated. We will be lucky to see him in the seniors this year I reckon, but I'm happy with the club taking a punt anyway

I dont understand why people think hes a write off this year.

the grand final is 6 months away.

Why cants an injury free 20 year old get fit in 6 months,

following the normal process?

6 week preseason, 6 VFL games leaves 3 more months.

Im a bit confused? has he presented looking like Stewy Dew or Kate Moss?

The big unknown is that he needs to get his life sorted first, footy second, the forma much more of a challenge.

If it was just footy I could understand your confusion.

That's the question now I guess will he buckle down and do the hard work and learn.

Will the club play him in the practise match tommorow, just to see what level of fitness he does have??
I would

I’d make him run water to get amongst the boys, smell the lineament and work up a hunger for football ( not KFC )

Given he's missed preseason & going by his output in 2020 he'll be up against it.
It's not impossible but Syd's going to have to do a power of work to catch up.
