Same thing reported in the H/S. Glad they've come to an agreement because it's obviously in both parties interests.
Hopefully he does a few special things tomorrow night to leave us with.

One more spear tackle, please Deano.
Glad it's all worked out and good luck to him.
The winning goal from a tight angle ;)

Not sure if you are serious or just playing around.
IF you are serious you want to have a hard look at yourself.

Or an attempted one, whatever that is.

Do you actually want him to Spear tackle someone?
ie pick them up and drive their head into the ground?

Lighten up, mate! He's not asking him to decapitate another player....just something physical out there for us to remember him by.

We know Rioli can tackle well- he doesn't need to leave the game with a reportable spear tackle.

Head down, shoulder driven into the opponents chest.
That isn't reportable.

NO what he asked for was a spear tackle, that is why i actually asked the question we he joking or serious.
You guys are answering for him saying this is what he meant, that is what he meant, well if he meant something physical why didnt he say, shirtfront for example?

Dean Rioli has a trademark tackling technique, which I described above.
Spear tackle may not be the most appropriate title for it, but it seems most other people knew what I was talking about.
It's fair, it's physical and it's damn well exciting.

There isn't a clear definition of a spear tackle, not in our rules, not in Rugby.
From what I can gather, what you described is normally refered to as a dangerous throw, in Rugby anyway.
It's open to interpretation.

Here we go, Ill give you something to reply to. I want Rioli to grab his nearest opponent by the head and ram it in the the nearest turnbuckle. As his opponent gets slung back, I want Dean to scoop him up, hold him and point to the stands, then drive the poor sap into the ground for one earth shattering piledriver. To finish off, I want him to tear his guernesy down the middle to the sounds of Hulkamania from the loudspeakers. A spear tackle will pale in comparison to this finale.
Wonder how the tribunal system will view this incident....

Last time i saw him do it (vs st kilda last season) he had free paid against him despite getting the guy in the chest. Hit the bloke so hard the umpire felt sorry for him and gave him a free. Crowd were might ****ed off.

There are not many unfamiliar with Riolis' tackling technique- even he would be loathe to assocoiate it remotely with a spear tackle, which you have done. You may withdraw your description at any time. .

Judging by Wikipedia, it appears I'm not the first.
I've got nothing to retract because I was not portraying Dean in a negative light. It was meant in good jest and it seems it was taken in that light by the majority of posters in this thread.
If you're not happy with it, report it to the mods and they can remove it. Email it to the club or Dean Rioli, block me, or just shutup.

Someone told you to lighten up the other day, looks like you took his advice and it wasn't picked up by some- unfortunately it didn't last long.
Not many people know this, but the rioli came from a rugby background, and was fairly talented... He got selected for both Rugby and AFL representative sides and had to make the choice of which to follow due to the fact the team trips were held at the sme time, the only reason he chose AFL was because the Rugby team was going to sydney, where he had already been to. The AFL team was coming to melbourne, where he had not been to - so he chose AFL
Thank god he chose AFL! and that probably shows you where he gets his tackling style from also
Now Im having a laugh....a simple rev up for some Deano tackling has become a discussion topic.
Some people need to get over themselves. Why tell someone to lighten up when his tongue in cheek comment was totally taken out of context.
These threads aren't making me laugh, they're making me shake my head

I have to agree, and I'm the major contributor.

Well, it was yours truly who suggested he lighten up, but I felt I had to put my two bobs worth in when a simple comment referring to Rioli's brand of tackling became an issue for some. I stated my opinion as this is after all...a forum for opinions
I have to agree, and I'm the major contributor.Well not really your fault in the first place. It was obvious your reference to a spear tackle was in fact a reference to Rioli's trademark tackle and not a call for blood.
Perhaps the person who criticised your comment in the first place has other issues with you. Just throwing this out there but perhaps that person doesnt agree with your view on say avoiding the wooden spoon, and felt the need to take you on in another unrelated issue. Hypothetical of course. *nudge*

I started this thread and questioned Longys comment on a spear tackle.
Not sure if you are serious or just playing around.
IF you are serious you want to have a hard look at yourself.
It was a question based on the request for a spear tackle.
It's obvious now that Longy didn't mean what most would think a spear tackle is.
I don't have any issues with Longy at all and find he makes quite a lot of sense and generally presents quite a well balanced discussion, although we dont agree on everything.
As for the spoon argument i have made my views clear as have many others here. The difference between me and a lot of them, not all, is they refuse to see it from another point of view and label it a disgrace etc wheres i don't agree with them but can see justification in their view point.
I don't hold any grudges from guys on the internet and if i did Longy wouldnt be one of them.But i'm also not going to be one of the ones to agree with him or any one else if i feel they are wrong or i have a different point of view.
I think this was just a case of interpriatation on a spear tackle definition and i didnt accuse Longy i only asked for clarification if he was saying what i thought he was saying.
I'm sure hes got broad shoulders.

Congratulations to Dean Rioli on his 100th game. I'm also glad that both Dean and the Essendon Football Club came to terms on his retirement agreement. Well done to both parties and all the best for the future Deano after Saturday night!:thumbsu:

Other issues are irelevant- the guy said he wanted Rioli to lay one of his spear tackles and the other guy deemed it inappropriate; which was fair enough.

Would it be appropriate to include the phrase 'Only in America' ? Its gone froma spear tackle, to a piledriver (my mistake) to a clown' and now a ********. Smells like chinese whispers to me.
