I have no idea what the context of this story is so I'm only judging him purely from a football discussion point of view.

Riak has had to overcome some real adversity with his injuries over the past few years. He's finally had a good run of games late and has showcased hos raw potential talent.

Thank you DL. I made comment the other day that in my opinion he's been wasted playing as a backman. I can see why they have trialled him there but his potential and athletic ability reminds me so much of Sam Darcy.

I'm hearing that Riak Andrew is mounting a good case for potential rookie list spot with some of his recent performances. Still a fair bit to in terms of list management decisions etc.

They can't make finals.

Not a bad cricketer too. Would casually just belt a few centuries here and there.

I've learnt over time with some of his arguments to either shake my head or just laugh and ignore. I don't know who me said it before but let's not give it air time and take away the good news story.

Jesus I don't agree with all things @DeeSpencer but the pile on has been a bit pathetic purely for having a different opinion. If you doesn't agree, cool, either ignore him or make a counter argument instead of dropping the nuffy response of "go and support another team". DS is clearly a passionate supporter who clearly doesn't see things through the rosy red and blue lenses like some on here do. He just calls it as he sees it and I think it's a good to have different sets of opinions even if you don't agree with it because it gives a different perspective on the topic. Now on the Max signing, the way I look at it is that they're now putting a transition timeline for our next hire apprentice. We'll clearly target a young ruck either this off season or next and with Kalani White also coming through he'll have at least 2 years with Max as an apprentice. That's great development right there! I would like to think that if we are to start a transition plan then that means Max will slowly start to phase out to a forward instead of a starting ruck giving the next person more opportunities as a starting ruckman and Max as the secondary chop out. Max will also finish the year on 224 games. This means he'll surpass 250 games which is just a remarkable effort considering how slow he started with his AFL! Personally I just didn't think he'd get there at all just with all hid injuries he had earlier on. All in all a great signing for the footy club! but please let's give him a chop out with the media commitment when [censored] hits the fan. Max shouldn't have to be the face of the club amongst everything negative.

Watched the replay last night. Clearly Goodwin told the players that the shackles are off and it was time to just go and take the game on and have a bit of fun. I thought whilst Rivers was poor by foot, he Bowey and Langdon were the ones that really got us going with their run and carry. They were top 3 for metres gained. Please Simon, implement this game plan over the off season. We looked dangerous when we take the game on and get it quickly into our forwards. No coincidence that Petty, JVR and Turner had combination of 10 goals between them because they got one on one contests due to quick ball movement instead of being bombed on their heads in a pack. Thought Koltyn Tholstrup played a good game and had 24 pressure acts which is impressive for a first year player. Have said this before on here a while back, but Daniel Turner up forward reminds me so much of David Neitz in the way he moves and jumps at the contest and his kicking action is eerily similar. He's aggressive and hits the contests hard. Everyone thing you live as a key forward. Sam Collins started on him and by quarter time they had to move him of Turner because he could stay with him. Collins is no slouch and one of the better defenders in the league, so that's a huge confidence booster for Disco going into the pre season. There is something to work with there. He needs a huge off season in terms of getting his fitness levels up, but if he trains as a full time forward over the summer then reason why he can't kick 30-35 goals next year Blake Howes played his best game for the club. Looked far more composed and assured with ball in hand. Could be a smoke for rising star nomination. Liked Marty Hores game as well. He's worth keeping on the rookie list as depth and experience. Always puts himself in good positions to take an intercept mark. Gold Coast are an absolute joke to the competition. The amount of talent they have on their list to then perform the way that they have this is just pathetic. I'd be going full raid on their list to pick off their young talent.

Too old.

It's incredibly hard to back up that kind of intensity each and every week. Especially with thr position he plays being a battering inside midfielder. Taking into fact that he is 30 years of age and it is an absolute grind each and every week in getting your body up most weeks.

Bringing out the receipts after one game of the year where our talls decide to kick actually goals. Don't worry, I also have a heap more saved under my belt as well. Only took 23 rounds to finally fire a shot. If Goodwin is correct in wanting to build cohesion with Petty, Turner and JVR then why sign Jefferson him to a contract extension. Based off those comments he'll barely crack a game next year. (Sorry Pickett)

Wow! Been out all day playing local footy, I turn my phone on after the game and fist pump in front of everyone. Congratulations Goody and to the squad. Thr amount of heat and stress this club has been under this week I thought it was going to be a tough day. Well lads and everyone involved with the footy club. Can't wait to put my feet up and watch the replay tonight 🍻

Can someone provide a run down summary

Anyone give me am update on K Brown, Adams and AMW please.

Remember when folks use to ask why we never trialled Weideman down back? Tonight will explain why.

He's reported as facts just like the rest of his information is now seen to be correct. He's clearly talking to his player manager which has provided him with the information that had he not be contracted he'd ask for a trade which I absolutely believe given how disgruntled he is.

Funny how he was actually correct with his information and everyone on here accused him of false claims huh..? How do you know what the facts is? You're saying it's not dealing with the facts when you yourself don't know deep down. Morris was right all along when he broke Petracca story. This is backed up by Pert or Goodwin not even refuting the claims that he was unhappy. Everyone knows he's unhappy and I have absolutely no doubt if he was out of contract then he would request a trade exactly how Morris confirmed. Well said mate and please post more.. it's head in sand stuff with some folks on here. Its up to the footy club now to implement the changes that is required. Destiny is in their hands now.

Instagram shows they were flying up this morning?? Jack Viney was still at home as of last night as well.

Head in sand stuff with Wayne. Always has been, always will be. You'd have Raygun dish up the same performance in the next Olympics and he'd still tell you it's a 10/10 performance.

Illness

Team selections gave been an absolute disgrace for the best part of two years. Utterly bizarre that you can name Jefferson who's actually got the forward craft as an emergency for two weeks straight in a side that's struggling to kick goals knowing that finals is completely out of the equation. Don't change Goody.

Likewise, Geelong have kept an eye on Oliver all season. Privately, the Cats think they could accommodate Oliver and Western Bulldogs’ Bailey Smith in its salary cap for next season, but a deal for both would be enormously difficult.
