After two years of finals heartache, Taylor Adams is in danger of enduring more pain in September, no guarantee to replace injured Swans skipper Callum Mills, who hurt his hamstring last week.
Swan Taylor Adams is in danger of enduring more pain in September, no guarantee to replace injured skipper Callum Mills.
One scenario likely to be considered at the selection table is moving either one of Jake Lloyd and Oliver Florent from the wing into defence, where both have excelled as attacking running backs.Running machine Justin McInerney would then take one wing, leaving an opening in attack for Adams to play as a half-forward who can pinch-hit on the ball.
The 185-centimetre Fox can play multiple roles in defence and has proven he can stand up on the big stage of finals. Neale was in a moon boot after the Lions’ come-from-behind win against Greater Western Sydney on Saturday night, in which he was held to 19 disposals by Toby Bedford. With Neale subdued, it was second-year gun Will Ashcroft who came to the fore and ended up leading the Lions’ charge home against the Giants.
“It’s not just the physical side of the game, it’s the mental side as well, in a final, when people can tighten up. “Yeah, not necessarily. He’s only in his second year. He’s going to have an impact when we manage those minutes, and we’ve been getting him in there quite a bit,” he said.
