Forget Ingliss, Get Rioli

Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

Not saying he's bad but if he was at Essendon, some BTer's would have been crying out for the club to trade him a week or two ago...

:wink:
Yep, although the hype around Naitanui is much worse. He's played about 2 good games all year and yet the talking heads in the media had already awarded him the Rising Star after about round 3, with some peanuts also suggesting he was a likely AA selection and outside Brownlow chance. Fair dinkum, on merit he shouldn't even be in the top 5 in the Rising Star in my opinion - others more deserving include Hannebery, Bastinac, Rockliff, Scully, Trengove, and Ziebell, and Dustin Martin would be miles ahead of him too if he weren't ineligible.
Rockliff + Dreamteam = vingertje

Grab him if you don't already have him folks...
