RILEY & BODE

Or if you wanna see beautiful faces... http://bigpondvideo.com/afl/40221

Didn't know Bode came back from a disc buldge, just getting over one of them in my lower spine myself, not a pleasant injury.

DON'T JUDGE ME ON RECENT GAMES, SAYS COACH RILEY

That bulged disc could be the explanation for his apparent slowness and ordinary form in his first year at the club. After all, he was an All Australian at Under 18 level in 2005. Fingers crossed that e might have a good one there.

look riley is doing a great job i must admit! he is giving young players a go and thats what we all wanted to see. As much as i dont wanna see him coach us id rather see him stay with us and continue developing younger players like he has been so far

he really hasnt been playing many youngsters in truth.

you cant call bate, mclean, sylvia, jones playing the youngsters because they are in our best 22 regardless.

the only players he's developing are frawley and newton really. both who look extremely promising.

however he still continues to play the likes of pickett, brown, holland, ward (until this week) and keeps the likes of Dunn, CJ, PJ, Garland, Buckley and others rotting away at sandringham when they culd be gaining valuable senior expereience they would never get if we were vying for the top 8.

this has greatly disappointed me and his selfishness has meant that we havnt prepared our list for next season as well as we could have.

There is a in correct perception that the last few games are just "play the youth".

This is also to test out which of the NQR players should go and who should stay.

Nevertheless some of the selections but not all have been mystifying
