If anyone thinks re-signing Riley was....

A good idea watch the last turnover kick across goal. A disgrace

[Moonshadow 17,676]

'Cause that one example is what a contract extension should be based upon. FMD.

[Coq au vin 755]

Have a look at all the games he's played in. It's a repetitive theme. He can't kick, runs around in circles and loses the ball to the opposition every time he gets it. Absolutely useless.

Pig dog is my fav new player, if you where watching the game you will he has such a big heart he got so many free kicks. wow I loved how he put his body on the line.. He has a style about him that reminds me of grinter. I think with another year under roos he could be one of our best players..

Pig dog is part of our future, if you can't see you are complete bline!! In fact I thought he was in our top five tonight and part of the reason we where competitive.

Finally I would like to say what a great decision by our management for resigning him, and I can tell you that our management know alot more about football than the person that started this pathetic thread.

Kind regards

Donny .

NFI.

Roos' philosophy is obviously: keep the hard working honest triers with poor skills, get rid of lazy supposedly-skilful no-hopers, and bring in skilful kids, but tell them they won't get a game unless they work as hard as the hard working hacks.

Bail, Riley, Terlich et al will get games until skilful kids replace them by showing they'll work just as hard.

Good post Don, couldn't have said it better. Aiden's game while needing some minor teaking reminds me of a young Rod Grinter.

[don cordner 204]

Yeah chookrat big future for him, I hate people who bag our player just because they make one simple error

I sense a theme in all 194 of your posts.

[chookrat 4,247]

Yes Don, pig dog was a good pickup from Adelaide and I think with a couple of preseasons will show why he was picked up.

[Strapping Young Lad 227]

This thread is [censored] stupid! Going by the standards set here, Bernie Vince should be canned and Dom Tyson too. Thanks be to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that you tards are not on the selection commitee!

[Moonshadow 17,676]

He came into the season underprepared after a broken leg. Poor skills late in the game will happen until he develops a tank. How many times in the last few weeks did Vince miscue kicks to opponents that resulted in turn over goals? I can think of at least 2. (Not dissing Bernie). Judge Riley at the end of next year after a full preseason and 12-15 games.

[Matt Demon 1,418]

Needs to work on disposal but I can see a future for him.

[bing181 9,218]

Rather have to be teaching disposal than teaching intent and hardness at the ball.

He'll learn, even if that just means learning to keep it simple and not do anything fancy.

[P-man 13,366]

Please stop making threads.

[chookrat 4,247]

Aiden Riley will be a star. Mark my words.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,825]

He works hard and is ferocious. He can also get the footy. These attributes aren't that easy to find and for that I think he deserves a spot on the list in 2015.

But he clearly has no idea what to do with it when he gets it. And his kicking skills are below A-grade amateur level.

2015 will make or break him. I personally agreed with Tony Shaw when he said, you kick like Riley and you won't play much AFL.

[don cordner 204]

Yes Chookrat I think we can both agree on this, I really think he will be our 2015 and onwards grinter type player who everybody loves and admires..

[chookrat 4,247]

Mods - add him to the banner!

Get a clue ffs.

No idea.

seriously have a look on video at every game he's played for MFC. He kicks it to the opposition or handpasses it backwards and turns it over or hesitates when in perfect position to kick a goal or at least to the top of the goal square so long that he gets tackled and loses the ball. Absolute waste of a place in the team.

[Coq au vin 755]

It's not one simple error. It's absolutely disastrous shocker cl angers week after week. Do you actually go to any games???

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,166]

I will rate his decision making and disposal once he has a full preseason and can run out more than a third of a game with the manic style he plays.

[spirit of norm smith 16,441]

Huge heart. Sure some clangers but he brings inside ball winning. Tell him to give it to Bernie...
