Player Watch #26 Riley (Miami) Bice

[bedford]

Yes, I know. He had a blistering start with his first 2 then tapered off. Is it now not permissible to make the observation?

Of course , but your not giving him a chance

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

I suspect after his first two games where he came from nowhere, oppositions started putting more work into preventing his game.

Hopefully he finds a way to make time and space for his strengths.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Of course , but your not giving him a chance

I am actually. As I said, he needs to play to his strengths ie run and take risks with his kicks. I for one am happy for him to make a few errors, just like zorko does. But if he plays within himself and just chips them around, then I think he will get no where. It's not his game and is not what got him a spot on an AFL list.

And for the record, I'm predicting a strong preseason and a spot in the starting 23 R1, playing to his strengths.

Bice needs to hang off every word that comes from Mal and become the second coming.

He needs to put on muscle, that's the first step to a starting spot

He's stringy, not skinny. Takes off like a rocket.

While everyone is buying tickets on other buses, I'm still sitting 1A on the jet that is Miami Bice.

Good luck. I am on Cootee.

Miami faces stiff opposition now to be a regular.

Isn't that how we want it? Everyone needs to perform to get/hold their spot. As Ollie discovered.

 

[Jimbo OZ]

Some people forget how little exposure this guy has had to professional football. His skills are elite, he is calm, he makes good decisions but he needs this preseason. This time 2 years ago, he was in Albury.

We need a table. DQ has Gus, Liz has Hetherton, Cootee for you.

 

[Punts]

IMO he will drop of even more

Won’t be a regular

Was found out after a few games and couldn’t adapt quick enough

Put me down for the Pou

He's not my favourite player but I seem to be this board's biggest fan of Will Green. I really think he's a ripper and people are expecting too much of him too soon.

And I think caesar88 has dibs on Snell.

This is the challenge for him and the coaches to navigate.

The big thing for him is adapting to the increased speed and intensity of the AFL as he has the pace and skill set to be a good player.

Put me down for the Pou

Me too

26th/12..Number 26..
I think his biggest asset will be playing with super confidence. Any uncertainty he will be right back. ..Be super attacking and work his butt off on defensive side to his game . Got to be able to defend, but attack with confidence. Be great if he can be like a Kade Simpson

Light frame, defended well enough, but really attacking.

Things already falling into place...

This is the guy I want bringing the footy out of defence along with Blakey (even though I haven't picked him in my team! ). Just need to get the balance right.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Glad to see Bice extended.

And also pleased to see he was told to work on strength and tackling - it cost him his spot in the side last year.

 

[Jimbo OZ]

My man! What great news. The bus ticket is valid until 2028 and beyond!
