Was just looking at some stats and what jumped out at me was Aidan Rileys numbers

Despite averaging just 50.9% game time he ranks -

6th in clearances (2.0 per game)

5th in centre clearances (0.8)

6th in tackles (3.8)

They don't call him pig dog for his ability to melt a girls heart.

No you are clearly clueless and didn't watch the game at all. Riley was one of our best. He had 8 clearences and 7 tackles and tried to take the game on and went in hard all game. While Mark Jamar w

I can see now why Adelaide fans were keen to keep him! Plenty of grunt, gets where the ball is and is creative. Lets see him develop into a very good ball winner next year! Well done today!

Would love to know Why? WHY this bloke who at least has a bloody dip and tries his guts out in the midfield was subbed today!

FWIW Tapscott was the one I thought should have gone!

Hnmmm would love to know the thought process behing this one?!

Was one of our best players then got subbed.

Lucky Roos is a proven coach

Ever heard of "player management"? No (or limited) preseason, recovering from serious injury, game with no influence on the club's chances (this year).

Quite possibly told that he would get limited game time before he even went out there.

I am glad that we have an experienced hand at the tiller, who sees the bigger picture.

Watched the replay last night. Just reconfirmed that this bloke lays a fierce tackle. He will strike fear into the hearts of opposition players. Viney, Jones and Tyson will enjoy having him around in contested ball situations. The opposition will always be hearing footsteps.

Pigdog doesn't need a preseason. He just needs a few weeks off leash on the outback....

He should be put in a cage during the week and only unleashed for 5 hours on game day.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
