Agree - madness playing today & I’m assuming he wanted to.Pure madness playing Dan.
And if he was saying no I'm right to play, then we need a HIA type protocol and actually take it out of the player's hand.
Risking long term injury and we were not challenging for Finals.
Can understand him wanting to play last week for the send offs but just plain dumb playing today.
Just dumb.
So now can he get his injuries looked at?
""He's a superstar. Personally I think he should've been in the All-Australian squad. He's had pretty underrated year," Ash said."
I reckon DRioli's defence is being a bit underrated here too.There's a bit of discussion in another thread about what the best position is for The Prince. The best half-back flanker in the comp.
*Oh, Charlie Cameron would win eight AAs if he played half-back! But he doesn't, because he's too good forward.*
Correct. Charlie Cameron has kicked 360 goals from 202 games. He's topped 50 in a season four times. He's never dipped below 20 in a full season.
I love Daniel Rioli. Most of us do. But he has 103 goals from 160 games. His most productive season in terms of goals was 25 from 25 games in 2017. That's the only year in his career he has kicked more than 17 goals. (His 10 goals from the HBF in 2022 bettered his 9 playing most of the previous season forward.)
The Prince is demonstrably no Charlie Cameron. Neither were Gavin Wanganeen and David Wirrpunda.
I'm no medico, but last season game after game he seemed to go down then play out the game.According to caesar's training reports Daniel hasn't done much work. Obviously he's been an important player for us for many years now. Hope that troublesome foot/ankle isn't an ongoing problem but given the amount of work he's missed it's probably going to impact his season to a degree already.
Painkillers are great.I'm no medico, but last season game after game he seemed to go down then play out the game.
He started off like a house on fire. First half ok. Then dropped out during the second half.Very quiet thread this one.
Think Daniel's had a poor pre-season. Game wise anyway.
Does he look a bit heavy? and not running on top of the ground yet like he can.
Has plenty of credits and will hopefully flick a switch once the real stuff starts.
As one of the few that can really put the opposition on the back foot with pace and skill he's in the top handful of important players in our squad.
Ita crucial he's at his best.
