Congrats to Mark Riley who bowed out of coaching with a premiership at St Bernards on Saturday. He's contributed a lot to AFL and community football for about 30 years and was treated pretty shabbily by our club at the end.
Well done to Adam Bentick who played under him and at 34 years of age, had 48 disposals and 21 clearances.
I watched St Bernards play Old Carey earlier this year and Bentick just trotted around the middle of the ground like an old school centreman and collected his usual 30+ possies.
At the Old Carey game, I went out and listened to Riley's first quarter address. He's the most relaxed, uncomplicated bloke you could ever listen to but he could dish out a decent spray in his day as well. All the best in retirement.
Thanks BV. How was he treated shabbily by us? (genuine question)
