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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
