Fairly sure it was the first quarter where he took that overhead mark running back with the flight with a dogs defender hunting him down, turned gave it off then Sloaney ended up with the goal. At the point I realised what another complete steal we got in the draft.
Yep he marked in front of Easton Wood who's an excellent intercept marker

I admit that when we called his name instead of Ben Brown, I was pretty pissed. Couple of years down the track and it looks like an inspired pick, actually looking like a very good draft year in 2013 now, Crouch, Knights, Cameron and Kelly on the Rookie list...pretty good effort by the recruiters in a year of draft sanctions

Triumph out of adversity.

Knight made him look like an absolute tit. Any attempt by Wood at all at a spoil would have completely negated that play. I'm glad Wood is so good at intercept marking that he doesn't feel the need to punch the ball. Fantastic piece of play by Riley, though.

Phenomenal game. Inspired pick. Can't wait to see him in action against the Hawks - seems these kids are just inspiring the rest of the team and giving us depth - seems weird but thats how it seems.!!
