Player Watch #17: Riley 'Stiffy' Hardeman - made his debut v Adelaide in Hobart

[WinterRoos]

Hardeman in, therefore Sheezel up the ground please.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Can’t wait to see Riles play.

All I’m hoping for him to show as a baseline:

-Sound/good one-on-one defending
-Neat disposal
-Some smarts
-Go when it’s his turn to

 

[Ligma]

Woohoo!!!

 

[winalotroos]

Congratulations Riley the first of your 200+ games for North.

 

[Scottroo]

Bit harsh making lmac do that video and then drop him

 

[r00boy96]

Finally a defender we've drafted playing defence! Our weakest area...
Go legend!!

 

[Liam Boy]

Hardeman in, therefore Sheezel up the ground please.

can't move Sheezel up the ground and leave Fisher and McKercher who are both worse defenders than Sheezel

 

[kool kangas]

so who will be out? maybe Biggie

 

[Gasometer]

A glimmer of light in a dark week.

Go Rooboy! Go!

 

[Bulge]

Hardeman in, Scott to wing, Stephens dropped please

 

[justroyal]

I want him to play and definitely think he should debut but at the same time. I don’t want him to be thrown into the baptism of fire while the midfield sort sort it out sort itsshit out shit out and the rest of the team learn basic skills.

Mate, if he has one of those he'll be our best defender (Sheezel excluded).

But considering that 90% of our list kick a football like they've never kicked a football, if he has neat disposal I'll back him in the team for the next 5 years. I don't care if he runs away from contact and gets thrown around like a toddler.

That's awesome. Go well Riles!

 

[Val Keating]

Go well young fella

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Was very good in the VFL last week - excellent run and carry and good foot skills.

Good voice as well, very confident.

This promotion was probably earlier than he thought would be the case but it is well deserved and we need his skillset.

 

[One Eyed Roo]

Looking forward to seeing this kid play. Great videos. Now to make Sunday just as memorable.

 

[dirtybird]

Well if his dad is changing his tips then so am I.
Good luck Riley.

 

[archereleven]

I was gonna give this week a miss, but now looking forward to watching Riley debut...

Congratulations Riley, I hope you have a great game, and we can finally get a win.

I liked the reaction from his mum

How long on one of these videos until one of the parents says ‘you poor thing’?

Can’t be far off.

 

[LB2Snake]

The video calls to the parents are always great. Can really see how much it means to the whole family.

Don’t be a downer, these calls are the only happiness us nmfc supporters get.
