I guess I understand the sentiment of the post but I like watching them play - they clearly play with passion for the game (and each other), actively look to score goals (yes Geelong, I am talking about you) and generally crack in.

I am not on board the Reiwoldt train but to be fair he has done a fair job of turning his career around...a few years ago he was jumping fences and jumping aboard a train to avoid the media - now he seems to be a relatively respected senior figure in the playing fraternity...it's ok to mature as you get older.
