Prediction Riley Knight - The world's his oyster

[97-98]

Very vanilla.
Poor man's Angus Monfries.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

He does the little things better than Mackay, impossible to have every player getting 20+ disposals a week.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Needs to string a few games together. Never has had the chance to

He's a stop gap. Pretty good one.

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Explain how?

The way he can actually tackle?

Make good decisions?

I really don't see much similarity...

And he can kick clutch goals

 

[Cleric]

People have short memories.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Reckon he needs an extended run of games to get back into the swing of things. His first 5 games of the season were great.

 

[Squiba]

He’s always slow to get back to speed. Got to give him 3 games straight. But he does need to learn to accumulate at some point or impact the scoreboard now.

Pressure doesn't get you a long term career at the top.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Needs continuity and match fitness before we can really make a call on him. He's shown some impressive stuff over his relatively short career. His first SANFL season with crows was really good, didn't he finish top 3 in B&F?

Walsh commented on his gut running and good skills, we've seen glimpses of that but it's been hampered by injury. Really hope he gets a run at it now.

 

[1990crow]

He's better than Mackay. Just needs to get involved more.

 

[Drummond]

He's better than Mackay. Just needs to get involved more.

No doubt.

I certainly don't dislike him. I want him in, and he brings good attributes. Just needs to accumulate more.

 

[hey shorty]

People have short memories.

Unfortunately with Riley, those with short memories will barely remember him playing.

I love his intensity, and when he does get the pill he is generally very constructive. But he does need to get more of it, or hit the scoreboard.

 

[marvin]

At his best, he's a walk up start in my best 22 - but he's playing like a player who has struggled for continuity in his footy. Not surprisingly.

Which is traditionally what he does. He has far more good games than bad. And he wasnt bad last night, just didnt get as much of it. What he did was good.

Absolutely, as with Cameron.

Must persist.

 

[Archie87]

At least when Knight isn't getting it he isn't a complete defensive liability like DMac - give me a Riley Knight pressure act or tackle over DMacs every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

 

[Golumless]

Yeah even at this output Knight is better than Mackay.

 

[Interloperer]

Disappointing that his main route to goal, getting whacked in the head within scoring range, has dried up lately.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

He is best 22 as far as I am concerned. He may take a game or 2 for him to get up to speed but a fit and firing Knight will be an asset come finals. He's proved himself to be a big game player something which Mackay has failed at.

 

[Wouldbetackler]

He was averaging 18 touches 4 tackles and a goal a game in his first five games before he got injured and was getting better after each game. Back him in for a couple games and he will repay

 

[Cleric]

Very vanilla.
Poor man's Angus Monfries.

People must watch different games than I do to have this opinion.
To me I see a hard at it, ball winner who hits the scoreboard. I see a young kid who has stood up in big games and high pressure games. He will be a match winner when he gets more games into him.

How good was he tonight.

The club selection committee stuffed up badly dropping him.after 1 game back.

Cleaned up JJ tonight & set up so many goals, including tap on to Betts.

Always gives his all including his attack in the ball.

marty36 your call he is soft is so bad, you should offer a formal apology!

 

[dplggr47]

He's always been hard at the ball and player; nothing like Mackay, who is 100% outside run only. Knight is also a better mark and kick at goal, therefore can play forward. Love Knight's passion! Even if it means goal celebrations like the chainsaw.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ps. How much better is the balance of our forward line the last 2 weeks with Knight & Gov back, with more space & more pressure on the opposition.

 

[Paladin]

I have a huge mancrush on Knight. Will be the next Sloane.
