Game Day: Adelaide vs Port Adelaide

[PyroCrow]

Could say the same to you, because you clearly missed his brilliant intercept marks and the position he was actually playing. But wait, my opinion is wrong isn't it? Play on. I'm not blind, I saw the game and I thought Radar played well, and I know I'm not alone here. I couldn't give a flying **** if the Reilly haters disagree.

You are not

You forgot the pear were shit.

I assume you mean Port...

I guess that goes without saying.

In terms of importance to a side, Talia should have the Rising Star award stitched up.


For us he is a vital part of our defensive unit. Without his workrate and ability to shut down each sides key forward each week we could be struggling to stay in the 8 right now. He is fast becoming an important player for us.


But instead the award will go to some mid or flanker who averages 20 easy possies a game and 80 DT points.

sad but probably true. I can confirm he is getting a bit of love over in Melbourne so it may not be a write off yet

It's highly unlikely but if he somehow managed to win it would he be the first KPD to do so?

defender, yeah probably... Just doesn't demand attention. His nickname of Presti is probably a good thing... Pricks the ears up of the ignorant Vic media

did he win? Slow year huh?

Seriously? Not a knock on Rivers but were there any any other real contenders that year?

Key contender would be Toby Greene, who can't win it having been suspended. Coniglion, Cameron and Shiel have all missed games. Mitch Wallis has been decent but too has missed games. Presti looks increasingly likely.

 

[cmndstab]

Wait, really? You can't win a rising star if you've been suspended? When did that rule come in?

Not sure when it was instigated Stabby, I just know that players may still be nominated (like Greene was last week) if they are suspended (or otherwise receive 100+ activation points), but that they may not win the award - a Corey McKernan situation would hence be possible. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Talia win it from second (not the first time he would have won an award in that fashion!).

The other favourite, if memory serves, was Aaron Davey until he missed the end of the season with injury.

Yes . The Pear are shi.t.(sad but true haha!)

 

[Don Muraco]

Talia is the next on our "sign up list" and if our club can manage this we are laughing.

That doesn't come across in your posting.....

What do you mean fast becoming?

He is already!

You do not walk alone. Reilly is an important part of our defensive unit and plays his role to perfection each week. He will be an important part of our finals campaign.

 

[cmndstab]

He's fast becoming our best defender.

2 weeks ago tony shaw said he should AA, but sadly won't cos he's too young.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Nick Holland
Adam Goodes
Justin Koschitzke
Nick Riewoldt
Jarod Rivers


and Ben Hart won it in 1992 before the award become official as the AFL rookie of the year.

Well said. Reilly was good last night. And so was Douglas, especially in the first quarter....

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Brent Reilly would be in our top 5 of the B&F at the moment.

Dangerfield, Thompson, Jacobs Reilly and Walker (in no particular order) is my tip.

He's been amazing and very reliable this season.

Sloane would have double the B&F votes that Reilly has. Reilly has had a much improved season and played some very good football. Wouldn't call it an amazing season however. Actually perhaps we can considering he has never looked anywhere near this good.

Possible, make it top 6 then.

One of the other favourites for the rising star in Jeremy Cameron was also reported today. If he gets suspended I really can't think of too much other competition for Talia to win it
