Pleasantly surprised. Seems to have all the tools of a good player but none of the confidence. Hopefully a run of games at AFL level convince him that he belongs.

It was shithouse. He demanded it, then somehow wasn't ready for it, then was surprised a Footscray bloke came near him, and bottled it. Anyway. Shorty's had better moments, a few of them tonight.

Very pleased with Riley's game. Spoke to one of his mums after the match. The one who had her phone off. She's lovely, and rightly proud.
Yep the poor ladies looked exhausted , what an awesome but bloody stressful experience it must be

Anyone notice his character when the boys pushed him to lead into the rooms and just quickly walked down on his own before realising the rest are way behind? Probably the reason he's taken so long to debut along with some of Dimma's doubts when he gets asked about RCD. Just looks like he's a bit unorthodox with the team protocols.

Wait until his body fills out.
At times he went head to head with the Bont and was not overawed.

I may have read too much into how long it’s taken , and as a result had low expectations

He went much better than I expected

15 Centre Bounces Attended. Most in the team.

We waited a long time, pleasing to see that Dimma gave him a bigger role than a standard first gamer.

Long term he is the perfect player to rotate between midfield and deep forward.

He was camped in there! Impressive, first game and a hot game.

RCD really didnt want to give it to him either.

Shorty pulled rank and bullied him. Unrichmond-like.

I love shorty these days, but if your gonna steal a kids thunder,

you better *smile* well make sure theres some lightening.
Serial offender.
I’ve seen Shorty bully Dusty on a few occasions too.

RCD is now probably the most famous person to come out of Salesian College since Ronald Ryan

He got better as the game went on. There were a couple of really clever things he did as well. One deft palm to a free player that won’t count for a stat but I believe led to a goal. And he probably would have had a running shot on goal if not for the three quarter time siren. He’ll be a player.
I noticed that. Sublime and wouldn't have been possible if we didn't have the big frame in there imposing on the outcome. I reckon Kingsley will be relishing the potential RCD brings into the mix,
