  1. Premiership player, pinpoint kick, smart footy brain.
  2. That can't be right...some experts on here who have never seen him play rate him very highly & think we made a huge mistake in not taking him. Edit: it's good to have an opinion but at least it should be a little bit informed. Our club recruiters who have a good record of picking talent didn't take Riak & now 'goodwindees' tells us another clubs experts don't rate him. They could be totally wrong of course and the kid could go on to have a great career but you have to trust our recruiting department especially when all you are going on is the vibe. Anyway, good luck to the 2 kids mentioned above I hope they do a Teddy Whitten to those who doubt them, particularly Ricky.
  3. Hopefully they're lining Kozzie up and he baulks leaving them to collide with each other...that would be a right whack.
  4. I think it was John Northey who set that up a few years earlier than Neil...had a mate hiding out.
  5. I'm thinking top 3 would be Goldy, Lize and Kate...not sure past that. Forgot Chaplin who would also be in the mix. Blaithin would have been up there but for the injury.
  6. Campbell will be a star...
  7. How many games have you seen Riak play?
  8. Have either of you watched a few games that Riak has played in?
  9. Is Lindsay a bit quicker?
  10. He's a little bit quicker than Pendles. ...but does have a bit of class about him.
  11. I think it has nothing to do with the topic being discussed here. ...but it does have a lot to do with community attitude and yes what they would post on social media. A lot of social media is a cesspit but unfortunately we have to live with it. A professional sporting club need to use it. Me...I'm a bit more selective.
  12. Daylight saving has ....... them.
  13. I'm not so sure of this...it's not my age group but influencers are influencers for a reason and attract a lot of product placement. I think the club need to be on the front foot as old media is dying out. Broaden the base so to speak.
  14. He could have gotten the year right...
  15. Sharp has been brought in to play the wing, releasing Windsor to the midfield.
  16. First thing I noticed 'Dee'... As you say hard to judge fitness from a photo, but he's looking pretty good to me.
  17. Is he training with the forwards or backs?
  18. I think he's one I would give more time before making a call 'old dee'...has some really good positives and will take time. Just not sure what position yet but wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in a KP.
  19. He talks a good game when I've heard him interviewed on the radio. Storm are a great organisation. Could be a good fit.
  20. Great effort from Maeve...well deserved on a great season. How McNamara missed out on the squad is baffling... edit: will probably have more midfielders playing on the specialist wing position as per usual.
  21. Early 60's anyway.... After '64 the decline set in setting up the long walk to 1987. How I still follow the club is a miracle after going through this period. I guess you call it character building.
  22. I would be surprised if we don't finish top 4 and give it a real shake in 2025...
  23. She's already better than Birch...
  24. I'm thinking the same 'Robbie', Lil has been great for the club and really important around the group. ...but she hasn't had a good season and has struggled a bit at times before that. With a lot more athletically gifted female footballers who have been well trained before they come into the system, it's going to make it harder for some of the older players. Particularly those who don't have stand out attributes. I think Lampy is another who has struggled. The game and talent level is improving quickly and some will get left behind. Mick is going to have to make some very hard calls. Interesting times ahead.
