He's done well for someone a bit wild off the field. Frankston have been providing some players recently: Dickson, Baguley, Hibberd and others I can't recall.SCOOP said:Michael Hibberd, what a good footballer he has become.
Plucked from Frankston and really looking like being a top 10 player in a finals side.
That is impressive as it gets from a State Leaguer.

Punxsutawney Phil said:Yep he is a beauty. Crameri has been very good as well. One up each end.

SCOOP said:Shane Nelson has started the year off very well in the WAFL.
30,30,24 and 28 touches.
Someone will give him a go.

Or even the NTFL. Any running about up there? With the relatively high prominence of talented Aboriginal blokes running around in that league, you'd think there would be a good chance of producing this type of player in Darwin.
About time we had another Rioli on our list!snaps truly said:Awesome young fella by the name of Willie Rioli goes alright 17 year old who kicked 5 in the NTFL granny recently. Will definitely get snavelled up in the main draft.

Is he playing for NT Thunder in NEAFL ST?
PJ in Osaka said:I remember reading about this lad, isn't he a cousin of Cyril? Do we have a chance to pick him up?
Leysy Days said:Can play that boy. Perfect rookie pick.
bullus_hit said:Yep, and he's already coping well with the extra attention the taggers are dishing up.
Dwyer, Frost and Martin are looking like inspired picks at this early stage, Hine would be well pleased with his decision to dip into the VFL pool.

Interesting story about Mitch Thorp.
It's no secret that Hawthorn is one of my most disliked opposition sides. Can't stand their smug supporters. Every time they pull the whole "Buddy Vs Tambling" card my come back is always Thorp Vs Reiwoldt, seeing as the Dawks took Mitch Thorp 2 or 3 places before Reiwoldt in the 2006 draft - Shuts them up . From memory Thorp was touted as the next big thing key forward player, but didn't really live up to the hype. Only played a handful of games given that word has it, he had a fair few off field issues, as well as injury troubles.
Reading the attached story though, he has moved back to Tassie playing in the Tas State League as a playing coach for South Launceston. Seems his body is now right and he has grown up and really matured. Unstopable ATM. Playing along side him is Bart Mculloch whom was also an AFL draftee, never quite making it as a ruck/forward for Brisbane, but also seems to have matured and playing well at South Launnie.
