Aidan Riley, the unspoken about gem

Featured Replies

Saturday 12th April

However you may not get your wish as Robinson is not a regular starter at the Blues nowadays.

You may have to rely on Casey.

Love to see both Riley and Tappy play this match, hit him from every angle.

Seeing that germ flattened would be as good as a win IMO.

 

I think I speak for everyone when I say, on exposed form, Aidan Riley will be the finest player to ever pull on the boots for the MFC.

Astute observation RTG.

;)

 

Mind you, Mitch Robinson, although a thug and a cretin, unfairly cops it for branding MFC as "bruise-free footballers."

It actually came from a commentator (Dermie, I believe) and Robinson was merely asked if he agreed, to which he stupidly repeated the phrase and then gave a non-committal answer.

But he did belt a casey player, giving him a concussion.

Was it Bail?

Casey. Proper noun.

Constant analysis Moonshadow.


I made a similar analysis of Lucas Cook. It's fair to say that I rarely make mistakes.

Impressive record, RTG.

Please, no commentary or opinion on Hogan ;)

on the long term injury list, sounds pretty good

He was never going to play early. This just frees up a rookie while he completes his rehab and gets his fitness up.

So maybe you still hold out hope for him to bulk up, get balls, and be redrafted as our next saviour ?? :-)

I never understand why they don't do this more.

If Misson says 'he won't be ready till Round 10', why not put him on the LTI and give yourself more flexibility?

Clark was not on the LTI for ages last year and this was when we all knew he was done for the year.

Aiden Riley was recruited while recovering from a broken leg, what he does this season should be completely irrelevant to his career really. I am sure he will have his goals for this year but the expectations from the club for him in 2014 would have to be in the basement.

With Adrian Riley being placed today on the long-term injury list, which rookie do we promote in his absence?

Thats why I never believe anything that comes out of the MFC medical room.

Yeah, but it goes beyond that, when you have a player not on the LTI who you know will not play for two months or more, you are (forgive the pun) 'hamstringing' yourself by having less eligible players than other clubs (I was about to say 'normal clubs').

You can only pick 22. No point promoting someone if they wont play and therefore if you aren't going to promote someone may as well leave the injured player on the main list in case they make an early recovery. Also I think promoting a rookie comes with a pay rise so no point incurring the cost if you wont get any return from it.

By the way as Riley got injured in a game my understanding is he'll be getting match payments until he returns to the VFL so we will want him back as soon as possible from a financial point of view.

This thread put the mozz on.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
