Aidan Riley - I like what I see

picket fence

Featured Replies

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.

    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.

    If he isn't already, I see this kid developing into real cult favorite for us. He'll be frightening after a few more preseasons.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
