Interesting and your opinion appeals - hope, always the last thing to die. Like everyone if he gets another year I hope he turns a corner. With the injection of players in the midfield he won't be given a game he will have to demand it.

Welcome to Tiger land Riley Collier’Dawkins
- Thread starter rinso17
- Start date
Agree he would benefit with a fresh start but has to address his aerobic capacity & transition running if he wants to play regular AFL.
in all the excitement of the hopper/Taranto news I missed this. Astonishing how this has played out
Apparently doesn’t train hard enough and when given advice doesn’t take it. Thinks he’s fit enough. Also a bit of a *smile*. This is from one of his teammates.
He never looks comfortable in the team setting. I get the feeling he's a bit of a loner. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Has a bit of the FIGJAM about him? Yeah that and also the whole trade scenario on the night. Smells a bit
I think he’s talking about Stocker?
Stocker was delisted for never building the tank to play midfield like he wanted. Carlton played his as a small back but he could never defend the athleticism of a Bolton, Cameron etc.
Similar to Riley really, could never build the tank for his preferred inside mid position, but had limitations to place him in other positions.
For what it’s with I think both could get another chance, but RCD still has the bigger upside.
Had me confused too and going back through the trail of postsRoger thanks Checkers
Glad you asked the question
This was alluded to in an article last week when he was delisted.
Ego is strong with that one. Not sure that’s the best character trait for a list manager.SoS on trade radio this morning doubling down on his Stocker selection.
I'd have an attitude problem too if I thought I was going to the RFC and ended up at Carlton...
Unless the AFL introduce players can be payed for playing half of a game. Collier Dawkins hasn't got no hope..
McCrae has taught Collingwood how to run like Gazelles. Not sure a 22 yr old kid that walks more then he runs fits into his plans.
For what it’s worth, looks like Riley has appointed this bloke for specialist strength and conditioning training over the off season.
Ex Tiger Higgins used him pre drafting and was a big wrap for him although I know the bloke had a big fall out with Higgins running coach, Bohdan Babachek who is a legend.
Anyway looks like Riley has a rocket up him and wants to improve which is a positive

That bloke is an absolute dud and a loser.
From what limited action I have seen of RCD is he tends to switch off and ball watch when the going gets tough. A pity as in the right circumstances he could be a good player
@St Kevin it sounds like you have had some first hand dealings with Bohdan? but i think regardless of who Riley has chosen to take charge of him and drive him through the off-season is great, (not sure if he has done anything similar before?).
Hopefully it is not just a case of to put his best foot forward for a new club.
As I have said before I'd like him to
stay another year with Tige's but would understand if Riley or Richmond came to another conclusion.
