Much of this year is about trying to find out who\u2019s part of the team for the next 10 years, but sometimes when you experiment you find something that was perhaps there all along.<\/p><p>\u201cRory Laird was struggling. He was struggling since 2017 to recapture his form once the rules changed. He wasn\u2019t able to get as lose across halfback, his kicking was letting him down, there were a lot of concerns about where Rory Laird\u2019s game was at. He looks now like a potential a-grade inside midfielder.<\/p><p>\u201cThat\u2019s a fantastic story that\u2019s come out of the last couple of weeks and Matthew Nicks deserves credit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LISTEN:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/cms.fiveaa.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/rowe-FIVEAA-DAB-2020-08-12-07-23-44.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIVEAA\u2019s Stephen Rowe says Rory Laird\u2019s game for the Adelaide Crows against Collingwood on Tuesday night was \u201cjust amazing\u201d and better than any of Brownlow favourite Lachie Neale\u2019s games so far this season.
