I'm still going to bag him for fumbling.Maybe you need to listen to what people like Justin Leppitsch on what Daniel Rioli brings to the team and what his "Role' in the team is
Or
Maybe listen to what Shane Edwards said on sen yesterday (its on the podcast)on how our game plan was developed nd the coaching staff accredit the game style to Daniel Rioli and his ability to run chase tackle and harras and close up space.
Please have a listen maybe you wont be watching just what you see on television where the only camera angles are where the ball is.

I still bag Dusty for not tacklingI'm still going to bag him for fumbling.
LOL >>>>>>>>>>>>> OPSM that wayWhose Greek fish and chip shop is he working in?
lets hope he can turn it around. Not only his career is at the crossroads, but his whole life IMO.
He can play, but his immature behaviour has no place in any type of professional organisation. I hope he can do it for himself, his current situation has him about as rock bottom as you could ever imagine being as an AFL player. Reputation is mud, completely out of physical shape - has lost endless amounts of peoples trust - he has a massive mountain to climb
This will probably be the hardest 2 months of training he has ever had to do to get back to the teams level
Does he have it in him to put in that work ? Who knows but he will find out if he has the attitude to make it at AFL level
But if he cant i personally doubt another team would take the risk on him after this for a long time.

Plenty of players have come back from much worse. The way you paint this picture you'd think he was running drugs or something worse.
From what I've heard he's put his head down and is focusing on training. He's not his usual extraverted self around the club like many were used to and he's just intent on earning the respect back from club.
Teams were trying to get E Taylor a few weeks after bashing his lady apparently.

Don't think i made it out to be any worse than it really is. Lets be very honest about Sydney.
He was not drafted as a quality talent as he had huge question marks over his lack of maturity and ability to adapt to professional life.
In his first season with us, he played extremely well, but his exuberance, which excited fans - also bordered on being pretty immature. Once he got injured he struggled - which was fine as he was injured and most likely not fully fit, but the fact is he failed to perform in any VFL game in the back-end of the season.
Last season, even prior to the COVID issues - his performance was very ordinary. His fitness was below par, plenty of chat forums insinuated that the he was very childish and not really endearing himself to his teammates in hub life. His preparation was below par. He then broke a govt sanctioned hub to go to the strippers. got in a fight. Got arrested. Got suspended for 10 weeks. He then got himself arrested again 3 months later for doing the exact same thing in Perth & spent Xmas in jail. Last thing this kid needs is people acting like he has chances left - because he doesn't. He needs to get his sh*t together. I'd personally like to see him just spend the year in the VFL, seems like the kind of person that if all is good and well & life is exciting and he is the centre of attention - he is on cloud 9 and excels - but once things get a lil tough and boring, he struggles. Sounds pretty close to someone with ADHD tbh. I want to see him put his best foot forward for a year irrelevant of the reward and attention - do all the team things & do it without expecting to be rewarded for it immediately.
From "what you have heard" - where did you hear? From what has been reported he has only just returned to training and was very unfit. Admitted himself he is miles off match fitness and from what was being said - he hadn't really came close to maintaining his fitness to an AFL standard when left to his own devices.
Last year he was handed games when quite frankly i dont think he deserved them. I dont think that helped his cause. Time to let others pass him and see if he can do what it takes to catch up. For Sydney its not a talent issue, its a character one
I don't need a history lesson mate I think we're all aware of what we're dealing with.
A connection I made at a recent Club 80 function told me how stack was doing. I've got no reason not to trust them and not fussed if you don't believe me or not.
Sounds like you've made up your mind up about the kid anyway. Even dished out a diagnosis. Bravo.
North dont have the support staff to deal with stack and they know thatTeams were trying to get E Taylor a few weeks after bashing his lady apparently.

The answer is he doesn’t return to wa for some timeJust an observation...seems it was more than once he had to come back from being dropped or a club sanction in juniors or rep stuff over in WA and he was able to when it was really clear that if he stepped over the line during that period it was all over and he managed to hold it together to get to Par and allowed back with his teammates.
It’s when there’s no-one on him and at him that he come off the rails with distractions...I dont know what the answer is but he doesnt seem to have ever been successful in a regimented enviroment without really closed in parameters.
Hopefully he can settle, when his confidence is up out on the ground he’s one outta the boxThe answer is he doesn’t return to wa for some time
I sincerely hope so , Stacky is blessed with talent to burn that under the new rules will prosper , the rest is up to him, he needs a more professional approach than same time last yearHopefully he can settle, when his confidence is up out on the ground he’s one outta the box

I think you are being a bit loose with some of your interpretations.
You think his exuberance was immature. Bashar Houli said he was surprised by his maturity and interest in his life and religion coming from a 18 year old. Nobody at the club had ever sat down and talked to him like that before. Yes his social media stuff and exuberant personality may not be to your liking, but he was a breathe of fresh air in that first year. And his footy was at a mature level beyond just about any 18 year old I can remember.
Hub life as an example of immaturity. Go figure a kid who has probably never sat still in his life, a kid with no real home life experience, who had to bring himself up since he was a kid struggles to adapt to being locked up except to play football. Go figure. How did you go sleeping on couches as a teenager.
Granted his venture into the Gold Coast nightlife was not his greatest moment.
You don't know about his fitness any more than we do. Of course he is underprepared, anyone who hasn't done a full AFL preseason is underprepared much less one who spent three weeks locked up. Have you any experience with that, if so how did it affect your mental health and motivation. You and I have no idea.
He played 3 games of VFL, was promoted and played 17 AFL games. He injured his ankle, syndesmosis, had surgery, and missed the next 5 weeks.
From memory he was played in the middle that day and was BOG at half time before injuring his ankle. He returned for the VFL grand final where he re-injured his ankle. How do you figure he failed to perform in the VFL at the back half of the season. He only played a couple of games.
Fine to have a negative opinion of a player, we all have them, but a bit of balance and research wouldn't go astray.
