Re Riley Dean, I heard this morning that he's gone off the boil recently and that some Fev fans aren't too disappointed that he's leaving ??
He played very well for Fev in the early parts of the season especially when he was partnered by Johnno Ford. He had taken a lot of big hits as the season went on and wasn't quite as effective in recent weeks when partenered by the promising but inexperienced Thomas Lacans.
He has some of the attributes you need in a good half back (understands shape and how to create openings, has a cut-out pass, can be a threat running the ball) but he isn't yet the type to take a game by the scruff of its neck or be an onfield game manager, and his defence is very weak.
