After a quiet performance in the reduction to Hawthorn, Sydney manager Dean Cox concedes that Charlie Curnow, a growth recruit, may need time to adjust to his new group’s game plan.
Curnow, a key forth from past Carlton, was dangerous early on Thursday night at the MCG, kick two first-quarter goals.
After quarter-time, he was blanketed by Tom Barrass, who only allowed him to score three handpasses and went unforced against the Swans, who lost 14.15 (99 ) to 13.4 ( 82 ).
It came after Curnow scored three goals in the Blue ‘ season-opening triumph and held the Music to one without a goal in a follow-up triumph over Brisbane.
After their first reduction of the year, Cox said,” Charlie is also working his way through at our football club.
” At all times, strive as hard as you can and try to learn the signals up the ground when we are bringing the game through,” is one of our mantras.
There are some contradictions throughout, and we need to operate on this as we go along.
Brodie Grundy, who has given away two free kicks under new ruck regulations introduced this year, will have to make some changes, according to Cox.
Grundy gave the Hawks center clearances by crossing the center line before engaging his opposition, which sparked a quarter-time conversation with his mentor.
It was just about being crucial with your strategy. Do whatever you decide to accomplish, Cox said.
Simply put, you can’t cross the line if you want to sit down. You are aware of this, then you need to make the scheduling adjustment.
It’s usually learning, and he gave away a few next week, so they’re just trying to get used to a different concept. He made a great repair for that.
Cox lamented Sydney’s inability to win the game in the next quarter, when Hawthorn won 89-57 in a one-sided battle ownership count.
But he refrained from putting the blame on Errol Gulden and Isaac Heeney, who both had wounds, for their presence.
Heeney ( hamstring ) is a promising player for the short term, but Gulden ( shoulder ) is expected to miss four months.
” At periods, you’re going to lose your people that don’t play,” Cox said.
” But we went into the game very convinced that the 23 that were present may accomplish the goal, and for some of it they showed that.”
Sydney will get a 16-day crack before their next match against Cox’s past side West Coast in Perth.
