Maybe they'll try turn him into a midfielder like Flogarty next..

Or trade him and pay half his salary

Carey’s top 10: where Jack Riewoldt ranks among the era’s best forwards

I’m focusing on the year 2000 onwards. Some, like David Neitz and Fraser Gehrig, didn’t quite meet the 10-year threshold I’ve put in place. Others, like Barry Hall and Eagle Josh Kennedy, are desperately unlucky to miss out. So, who makes the top 10?

Atleast Carey rates Tredders above the ones there shouldn't be any question about.
Always thought Carey was the one commentator who gave Tredrea his dues. Being the best CHF (and personally the best footballer) of the modern era, that actually means something. I suspect working for the Vic media, you are always going to pick St Nick and good old Boy Jonno Brown ahead of him, but atleast he had him in the realm of where he should be. Most ******* Vic commentators would rate him somewhere between Jon Patton and Nathan Albett cause he bowed to the crowd that one time.

The Age Poll still managed to place Tredrea and Pavlich in the 'other' section.

Talia is unrestricted, so they won’t get anything.

How does his wife Jenny feel about that?

They've brought Flog, Ted, Himmler and the other Tom Lynch into their squad, so they're going all out to better last week's score.

Pick your poison:

Finish 4th and play Geelong
Finish 5th and play West Coast at Adelaide Oval

I'd rather miss the finals than finish 5th and play West Coast at Adelaide Oval - it's effectively the same thing just minus the pain.

Come on West coast can’t beat anyone even Norf at home
They will be lucky to win another game this year.

But they would have no trouble against a Hinkley-coached team

That fixture is cursed. Can't see us ever winning it.

I reckon Matthew Lloyd under-rated in that list.

Yeah I'd have him in front if the 2 Richmond clowns, especially Reiwoldt.

Every club's bogey ground: Where does your team NOT want to play?

While nine clubs haven't won at Kardinia Park in years, one team struggles at its own home ground

www.afl.com.au

YOUR CLUB'S BOGEY GROUND

Adelaide: 11 straight losses at Kardinia Park
Brisbane: 12 straight losses at Kardinia Park
Collingwood: 3 straight losses at Kardinia Park
Melbourne: 3 straight losses at Kardinia Park
Port Adelaide: 7 straight losses at Kardinia Park
Richmond: 5 straight losses at Kardinia Park
St Kilda: 9 straight losses at Kardinia Park
West Coast: 8 straight losses at Kardinia Park
Western Bulldogs: 10 straight losses at Kardinia Park

It bugs me that nobody's bogey ground is Adelaide Oval - teams love coming to Adelaide, and leaving with the 4 points!!!

Gold Coast's is.

With the Crows being shit and us being us does it surprise you?

Kardinia Park is clearly the biggest home ground advantage in the league. It is half the comps bogey ground. And in many cases by heaps of games on the trot.

Its an advantage for the big Vic teams to never play there.

Yeah but Gold Coast has every ground as their bogey ground, although maybe they're starting to turn the corner slightly. Geez I'd LOVE to see them knock off the Dogs this week!!!

 

[Festerz]

Yep. Not forgetting that Geelong has all their training sessions there- unlike the crows and us when it comes to Adelaide Oval.

Slow media day for the Duck. He did this on channel 7 in 2016 and called it Duck's Dozen. Obviously it is all related to Jack Riewoldt playing his 300th game.

He has axed Hall d Roughead from his top 10 and added Jack Riewoldt at 7 and Hawkins at 9.
He flipped Tredders and Pav between 4 and 5.
He flipped Buddy, Brown and Riewoldt between 1,2 and 3
Richo moved up to 6, Lloyd down to 8 and Fev down to 10.

Why? he doesn't explain. makes sense that some of the players who have played the last 5 years have improved but not why the flips.

 

[Papa G]

He works with Richo now but doesn't with Lloyd so that would explain that. Pav was also working at Ch 7 a few years back, so again that may explain that.

 

[edgie]

Could you imagine how much they'd try to overlook Franklin if it wasn't for a Hawthorn half of career?

Pav has worked for 9 for at least 3 years.
