Player Watch #17: Riley 'Stiffy' Hardeman - made his debut v Adelaide in Hobart

[The acurate one]

As mentioned in the other thread, same guy who said Simpkin would Cpt us, said the same about this fella, doesn't mean he will, just means he has a great attitude. As alluded to by others.

I know there's plenty questioning al clarko currently, just need a little patience with some of the youngsters, just so many of them. In five years we'll have serious salary cap issues

 

[Jasemon]

Very excited about this kid's second year. Hardeman, a fit Goater, Archer, Corr and Comben plus McKercher and Fisher rotating should be exciting. We do need another tall option of course. Riley however appears to tick so many boxes.

Why would have cap issues, Geelong even managed a salary dump after their premiership, and Carlton are after Petracca. What am I missing?

I off course was being silly

Whew, I thought there for a moment this salary cap thing was actually enforced.

A concerning amount depends on Goater. Wouldn't it be a blessing if he came back with that explosiveness intact

Club is stoked with how Hards is tracking. See him as a long term half back who can also rotate through the wings.

Already punching out extra gym work to get stronger leading up the pre-season.

Loving all your updates mate, thank you. One I would be really keen to get some insight on would be Goad if you ever hear anything. Would love to hear how they thought he developed this year next to their expectations.

Love the update's, any news about Geordie Payne ? i still have a gut feeling he can become a senior player for us down the track.

I like to see him given a go but they will play McDonald before him.

Do you reckon it’s because of his Dad?

He did get a go this year and was a bit off the pace in terms of fitness & strength.

If he manages to make the improvements you’d expect he’s certainly going to put himself in the mix to get some games again next year.

 

[DunderHead]

Defends well can run and kick. He’s a keeper. Seems like an awesome bloke too.

You really should have your own thread for these. Would
Make things easier.

It’s tiring go through every player thread to skim the chaff and find the updates your posting.

Harsh. I thought Mr Hardeman was a good bloke.

Average kick at best.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Hardeman will be the big bolter improver next season. Kid will be a gun & has great leadership qualities too.

Hope so. We need these half back/back pockets to start coming on.

How many failures we endured in those positions? Too many to mention? Its been a thorn in our side for too long
