    Right. But he's just one player in a team. Loves the goal square but ordinary anywhere else. Defensive effort ( tackles ) ordinary. How do you rate him as a team member? Don't expect McCartney and him would get along at......all.

        In a team that was built correctly he'd kick four goals a week.

        Sure his defensive efforts are pretty ordinary, and need improvement, but just like most other players in the league he isn't perfect.

        I can't believe the tendency that has sweapt into the game that completely overlooks the importance of forwards kicking goals. It baffles me. Seriously, if a guy is a good chance to beat a highly competent defender and kick goals that is the major role of a forward fulfilled. The day we judge a forward like him on the basis of whether he gets enough tackles is the day the game has gone completely up its own arse.
        TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

              Modern footy is based around being able to play most blokes in multiple roles.
              Pavlich, Hurley, they can be played everywhere. Great team forwards. Reiwoldt is not one of these blokes. He'll bring the Tigers undone sooner or later.

                    Last night's GC win will have the newspaper sub editors giddy with hope that they can finally dust off their 'Ratt sack' headline.

                        It's given the vultures at the club and the media every reason to start circling. For what it's worth I don't think he is a bad coach.

                          Just watching the replay of last nights Swannies v Hawks game, what a beauty, but that free to Puopolo in the last right in front of goal was an absolute disgrace.

                            Fantastic game. Contrasting styles but I like watching both of them play.

                                It makes me happy that a team loaded with early draft pick players, that enjoy envious AFL financial compensation and are yet to really achieve anything...................................................g ot beat by Gold Coast
