Lachlan Keeffe is an emergency for GWS.
Grundy just tore Gawn a new one in the Sydney v Melbourne game. Nothing new in that - Gawn's career W/L record against teams with Grundy in them is just abysmal.

I guess on the “winners are grinners” principle, we can’t lament losing Ollie Henry too much in part-exchange for Mitchell after 2023, but I think we’d have been a 2-3 goal better team with him now. Like Checkers, he is a just a natural AFL player.

Agree. I always thought Henry was a bigger loss for us than most want to admit.

In other news, Ginnivan is still getting his head ripped off and missing out on frees. Someone suggested on the broadcast that he needs to ditch the long sleeves so the umpires have a harder time recognising him :lol:

^After all the publicity this week, I expect them to recognise him to the extent of at least 3 goals from free kicks. Following Gather round, normal programming will resume and he won't get a free for the rest of the year. :x

James Aish is in his absolute prime now. Played another high quality game against Carlton (which the umpires assisted in both keeping them in the match but also winning it)

Taylor Adams played his first game for Sydney yesterday, and scored a goal before being subbed out late.

True story? Buckley blamed it all on Eddie's interference...

You know something beyond or contrary to that?
