AFL: Collingwood is yet to grab its first win of the season, with the disciplined Sydney Swans going 2-0 in an impressive MCG display.

When Luke Parker and Taylor Adams both got injured on the eve of the new season, Sydney had to drastically revise their midfield planning for the first quarter of the home-and-away campaign.

“But we’ll play him where we need him. We’re two games in. If we need him forward, we’ll play him forward. But at the moment he’s going really well midfield.” “We’ve been working on that a bit, whether it’s McInerney and Rowbottom and James and Warner, Heeney ... and you’ve got Gulden,” Longmire said.Sydney’s young key forwards also had a big impact against Collingwood with Logan McDonald and Joel Amartey both causing big headaches for the Magpies backline.

“So it was really important for Lance to be able to take those best defenders there for as long as he did and allow the natural growth of these young forwards to come through.”
