Player Watch #17: Riley 'Stiffy' Hardeman

[Devington]

Good on both fronts. North of 70% tog to the eye and his movement was very good. Looked quick and hard, pardon the pun. Defensively solid.

By the sounds of it then his VFL recovery stint should be over?

Definitely the best he has moved for a while.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Hards 27 disposals at 96%, 8 marks, 3 intercepts.

The 96% tells only some of the story. Many were difficult long kicks to advantage.

 

[dus]

Straight back in.

Lmac or Cam can have a rest.

 

[Rampaging roos]

Not even a worry been injured early part of the season.finally getting some continuity back in his body and game..to valuable to rush back and break down again..hes bang on now.one more VFL game at the most..

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Must play next week. We are taking the piss if Logue, McDonald or Daniel play in front of him.

Correct. Straight-back-in.

 

[Jasemon]

Yep has to come in for McDonald. Our future. Macca thanks for your service but sadly you’re not.

yep he’s ready

Time to set our backline up for the next decade

 

[perplexed]

Why would anyone want to drop McDonald after his performance on the weekend? He completely shut out Rosas. Hardeman should come in for Daniel. We want Riley playing as a distributor not as a lock-down defender.

Yep- idk what it will take for Clarko to pull the trigger but Helmet can’t be playing HBF anymore

 

[Dinkers]

So , i suggest we want him in but are scratching our collective heads as to how we achieve this.

Now this imo is a concern.

Do they want some suggestions?

I can think of at least two defenders he will be better than.

 

[Dinkers]

Do they want some suggestions?

Yes but they must be A3 and in crayon.

Take your pick when it comes to plankton.

Daniels, Stephen, Konstantys, McDonalds, Logues, Zurhaars, Spargos and Simpkins.

Simpkins is only half-decent one.

Does anyone recall how little helmet went at half forward at the doggies?

Dinkers was dropped once the Dogs realised he has too many, pardon the pun , short comings. Give him credit, at his size he shouldn't be on an AFL list.

But alas here we are

Yes as they say, good things take time.

He was AA, went back to sure up their back half.
Honestly we should be playing hiM forward or not at all.

 

[My Left Foote]

Vote 1 for Not At All.

 

[Chadwiko]

He was there 9 years. Took them a while

He won their best and fairest and was an All Australian.

He's a genuinely good footballer who we aren't using to his advantage.

Get him out of our backline.

When was he AA?

 

[DesertRoo]

When was he AA?
