Riley - three things...

Featured Replies

Riley must:Give the inexperienced players a go and see what they have got.

Get the players to commit for 4 quarters

Get the senior players (who are not watching it on TV from the Epworth) to back themselves.

Riley will:

Try a few 'crazy things' (Miller down back???) to make himself look different to Danners, at least one of which will work.

Have different 'favourites' than Danners.

Have a plan B (please, please, please!)

Riley won't:Win us a flag this year (Ha, that was too easy!)

Wont fix the kick ins (has been his responsibility before with no effect!)

Be coach next year (too many 'glory boys' out there waiting for a shot....)

What do you think?

 
ost seem resonable

wont: tank games

will: send players for surgery

Must: Not be a clone of his good friend and, up until recetly, boss.

Only play those worthy of a spot and that are relatievly injury free, at least no major problems.

Test the entire list if injury permits.

Will: Keep Danner's structures largely in place.

Most probably win this week as teams under a new caretaker coach seem to win first week up more than not.

Want to win games regardless of priority picks

Require the use of Greecian 2000 or go grey...

Keep a low profile.

Be on a honeymood from the media for a few weeks, but not from Demonland.

Won't: Be too adventerous.

Win more than 2 or 3 games this year.

Look any better in a suit no matter how expensive.

Get the gig next year... seems to come from the same stock as Danners (to me anyway and I don't know any better).

 

Must be different to his predecessor because if he's a clone of The Reverend he'll be on his bike in 9 week's time.

Will persist with young players who are our future e.g this week's ins to include Buckley, Dunn, Frawley, Garland, C. Johnson and Miller.

Won't be afraid of some losses including big ones e.g in Neil Craig's period as caretaker the Crows were flogged by well over 100 points against Brisbane but the by the following year they were able to turn the tables.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
