RYAN LESTER - PREMIERSHIP PLAYER!

That has a nice ring to it.
 
Great to see Joe Daniher carrying his son around on the ground after the Grand Final win. Even greater to see his son with number 35 on the back of the gurnsey he was wearing.

Outstanding result for Ryan in our B&F. He is right up there as one of our most important and consistent players.

It’s all here, including LESTER’S RUN and some brilliant defensive spoiling and tackling.

I was thinking about that run... It requires enormous trust, on a few fronts.

1, obviously you have to trust Hugh to be able to hit that kick, which required him to pinpoint Froggy on the move in the middle of about 5 Swans players.

2, you need to be able to trust the rest of your team mates that if the kick doesn't come off and it gets turned over, that somebody is going to be covering your man and performing your role, at least for a few seconds.

3, you need to be able to trust the coaching group that they won't roast you - either Hugh for messing the kick up or Froggy for running off his man in an attempt to create. In fact, they'll still back you to do it again, in the belief that the majority of the time it will come off. I guess that comes back to the goldfish mentality they tried to adopt late in the season.

It's a classic example of how having a strong and stable defence demonstrably made us more potent in attack. There is no way we'd have even attempted a play like that back in say 2022.
 


I've long had my doubts, but fair to say he's solidified his status as a bona fide no.1 pick, which really is a standard and expectation held by others. He's a gun and a proven match winner and superstar, we just want more consistency which we saw more of in 24.

I like how you've put a post about 3KZ is Football's favourite player, in a thread about his other favourite player. Clever.

Also rate the Nickelback backing track for that clip 👏
