Yeah, leading by example on the field, and dragging teammates along with you has nothing to do with leadership :rolleyes:

Can you still get suspended for staging? He should be out a season for that.

Are you such a sycophant that you'll gladly consume any s**t the club shovels down your throat? The guy was dropped after an extended period of poor form. Sando's words. He hasn't played a game for two weeks, yet now comes straight back in. How on earth has his form improved to the extent that...

Given the comments made by both Sando and Bickley to explain Reilly's dropping from the side, Sando now looks like a total buffoon and the AFC confirms itself as the only organisation on the planet more dysfunctional than the ALP.

No idea where you're getting your stats from macca, but Reilly is averaging a total of 4.6 marks per game this year.

Ha ha, I'm not worthy of comparison to the great man.

Stiffy played Reilly's role against Essendon and Port? Silly me, I thought that Sando had stubbornly pigeonholed him as a small forward these days, but I must have missed him being given multiple games in defence this year.

In 2010 he made his first ever B&F top 10 in his 9th season (seriously :eek:) after being given a lifeline as a tagger. Given the tagging role after nearly a decade on a list! Jesus H. Don't worry about grooming a youngster in the easy positions, we'll use them in an attempt to salvage something...

Absolutely agree. Johncock has been a vastly superior player to Reilly for a decade and I simply don't believe that that wouldn't be the case now, if he was tried in Reilly's role. Sheer bloody-mindedness from the coaching panel.

You've been a fan for a long time of a player who has suspect decision making skills? Right, I get it. Vader likes this. * me dead, you couldn't make this s**t up.

Yeah, but he lives our values.

Yep, Brent is the Neil Craig of the playing world. Despite him making the same errors again and again, it's really not his fault and the blame must surely lie elsewhere. These two blokes are seriously the most unlucky pair to have ever been involved in football. Circumstances just continually...

What's the difference between Brent Reilly and Jenna Jameson? Brent's been smashed in more positions.

Perfectly put. I was about to respond to that post, but you've nailed it. Defenders' DE% should always be higher than players in other parts of the ground, for the reasons you've mentioned.

Ha ha, Reilly has no left foot. It's yet another of his weaknesses as a player. They seriously said that about him? You can disregard any of their other thoughts about him then.

Sando's opinion>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AA selection panel's. I've saved you the trouble and compiled the list of defenders who made the AA squad while only getting coaches' votes in 4 or less games. Here it is:

Jarman Matera Reilly - Paris New York Kabul

I've already covered my disagreement on his AA selection and provided evidence to show why, which you continue to ignore and then mention his AA selection yet again as proof that he must be great. His career has been utterly average. There's no denying that. You don't get dropped in your 7th and...

Yep. Pretty much a year to the day since he last troubled the scorers. Maybe it's an omen and he'll play really well in the next 6 weeks, then go missing again :eek:

He's not IMO. If I was building a backline from scratch, to play this weekend I'd pick Rutten, Talia and Smith first without hesitation. I simply don't accept that Stiffy wouldn't be a better player to have in defence than Reilly either. Not sure how it's relevant??? YOU brought up his AA squad...

I've already posted that Reilly only received AFLCA votes in a mere 4 games last year, and none after round 7. Clearly Sando (and/or the opposition senior coach) rated Brent's early season form as superior to the remainder of the year, and that's exactly how it was. Once he was forced to be more...

I hope the wink means you were taking the wee wee. Reilly's inclusion in the 2012 AA squad was one of the greatest selection farces in recent years, and was based purely on his early season, sans opponent form. Once opposition coaches were alerted to the fact he was still on an AFL list, with...

And Reilly got votes a mere four times with zero appearances after round seven in the AFLCA award last year. Despite this some muppets on here and in the media thought he'd had an AA squad worthy season and still try and claim that he had a great year :confused:

You don't think a 12 year veteran should be doing a bit more than taking the odd strong relieving mark in defence? He does that well, but it's counteracted by his many, glaring weaknesses. And it's just absurd to bring Thommo into a thread about Reilly. That's just feeble clutching at straws...

Blind Freddy can see that Danger is one of the best, most damaging players in the league. Reilly isn't even the 3rd best defender in our backline. Try watching the games instead of relying on unreliable, nebulous rankings systems concocted by some propellerhead.

How many points are they deducting for a momentum arrest these days? I seem to recall you boosting Reilly after the Carlton game too. Funny thing is I don't remember you mentioning his supercoach score for that game. Must only be a relevant measure when your boy scores well I guess.

Exactly. The Reilly apologists have nothing of substance to hang their hats on, so they have to introduce the most feeble minded of red herrings, to try and shift the focus away. And this is about as feeble as it gets.

So I've awoken in Europe this morning and am attempting to digest all that's happened overnight with this saga (it's bloody hard keeping up with this thread and other developments with the time difference!). I haven't seen it mentioned, but I couldn't help but notice the stark difference...

Yep, by a handful of apologists who don't want to believe that there might be any truth in what she's written, because it's damaging to their beloved Crows. So they shoot the messenger instead.

Amen.
