From half back?
High half forward. Pushes into the mid but then gets close enough to goals to do damage. 20 and 3 for the year sounds achievable.
But the Beagles fade in the last quarter and that Subi boy steps up and kicks his only goal for the gane

Noticed his nipples too. Bodes well.
Crystal balling a bit, but the way the ladder is currently there is a very real possibility that last game in Brisbane will make no real difference to our ladder position.
Perfect game for him to play in really if that's the case

Would rather play him in the WAFL if that’s the case. Get a bit of touch in for the Beags but not hurt himself to then come in for a finals tilt.

because you’re intrinsically motivated, professional and not shy of hard work. The weights don’t lift themselves, the 400m repeats don’t get done by someone else

Im torn...
Between wanting him back in to excite and maybe rejuvenate the club.
and
Keep him out the side and punish him by doing a full tough pre season coz hes an idiot who helped ruin our last 3 years.

Just play him. Our forward line is dysfunctional without him and Ryan.

Or if players don’t want him back anyway it will have no effect..
He isn’t going to do anything this year to change our fortunes so he can play in the wafl.

Why cut off your nose to spite your face?
He's nearly finished his punishment.
Doubt he will turn us around as a team, but he still makes us better.
Are you saying that the abence of Willie Rioli, with a grand total of 38 games to his name, over two season is the reason for our poor run of form? If that's true, we are totally borked.
The guy has been punished and served his time. If he's fit and ready, he plays.
There was a time when I looked forward to the return of Rioli, but now with the current team implosion I am
extremely 'Meh' about most things team/club related. Would he make much difference with
no match fitness given the way the team is playing...

Not just punished, severely so. These international sporting bodies make a mockery of their performance enhancing oversight by going after pot smokers. Like that US sprinter who missed the olympics. No, Willy has more than copped his whack.
I agree that being heavy handed with marijuana use is a bit of a joke, but let's not gloss over two key issues.
Firstly, Willie was being tested for PEDs, not recreational drugs, so marijuana use wouldn't have even shown up on the test.
Secondly, Willie received the lengthy punishment for the sample tampering charge, not the marijuana use. The use of marijuana was essentially deemed a lesser charge and allowed to be served concurrently to the tampering charge, ergo it was basically dismissed.

If he is fit and qualifies for selection, let him play.
Some people are saying Willie should wait until next year to play, just because he hasn't been punished enough. To me, that is like saying a person who has served their whole jail sentence should remain on home detention for 6 months before they can work... He's done his time, let him live.

I don't give a **** if the player don't want him. **** them and trade them out. They are professionals you grit your teeth and work with them. If they can't play then get out of the team. Also supporters as well.
And why should he be descriminated against? He gets treated as every other player who is available for selection
This is real life not everyone gets a medal league.
This is by far the stupidest take i have ever seen. If you want to make stupid extreme takes here is one.
The whole squad and you should look in the mirror and realise how weak you are. Blame shifting making excuses for piss weak performances. I know you love blame shifting and accepting medicority that the reason we arent performing is because X y z. Go look in the mirror and face facts. We are a mentally weak team with supporters like you whom make excuses for simmo.
Here's a extreme take in other direction. He gets promoted straight to leadership squad if he plays well on his return game

Its not a stupid take its an opinion.
One part of me would be excited to see him back the other side ****in hates Willie and his self inflicted crap.
Not that hard to understand and really nothing to do with Simmo loving.
Im firmly in the camp of get rid of Simmo if he cant turn things around.
