Player Watch #10 Maurice Rioli Jnr Re-Signed 2026

[Tygrys]

He’s a Chaos King at this stage. Castagna-like but without the marking ability. I agree he could be anything though one day.

Castagna is the most overrated mark we've had since Ty Vickery. His flying can look spectacular but it is seldom ever rewarded with an actual mark taken. Anyhow it's nice to have a chaos king for a change that has the actual skill set of an AFL standard footballer

Comes straight in for Clarke when he needs a spell
We can’t go back to Castagna when MRJ is flying fit

So will he play VFL on Sunday, only ran around for 20 minutes last night.
Hope so because we pump as much footy into MRJr as we can and we will reap the benefit sooner rather than later.

 

[DeLaCon]

Id have him as a sub next week. When Geelongs pensioners have run out of steam at 3/4 time bring him on and he'll carve them up.

Absolutely

Play him for 3 quarters coming on either quarter time or half time

 

[RJK Tiger]

using him as a sub is like a cheatcode. he looked like a broken character in a videogame out there chasing all those tired blues in the last quarter

Thought similar having him injected late into the game was a master stroke (and good timing) heavy legs after a wet weather slog couldn’t keep up with him

He has been named for Sunday, yes.

Doesn’t need to get much of it to have an impact.
needs to play every game from here on in.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Huge feather in the kid’s cap to slot that goal, magnificent kick.

 

[Roachy8]

We look better with him on the park
Please do not demote…

 

[Daka]

Even when he was dropped every Tigers supporters said why? lol
We look better with him in theirs something about him.

provides pressure, what we have been missing.

If we're serious about winning the flag, Rioli, Stack and Bolton need to be our small forwards imo.

Would definitely like to see stack get a chance this week.

 

[Tiger2709]

Does a lot of unrewarded work with his pace, puts the opposition under pressure even when he doesn't catch them.

He's Maurice seniors son, that says it all for me, never to be dropped!

 

[Profop]

Need to start a running tally on the amount of blokes MRJ has caused to do hammies

 

[Marcel Proust]

Good prospect imho. Shown enough flashes to be worthy of keeping around the team imho

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Bit of composure and he will be a star

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Not the finished product but god damn there is alot of promise

 

[Daka]

He's pressure brings a lot to our team when we don't have him we lack the power to turn ball over in the forward half tonight we got repeat entries like we haven't had much this year.

 

[Grockadoc]

Might not contribute huge numbers stat wise but his work off the ball is insane and worth keeping in the side. I see him as our long term Edwrads replacement.

 

[French Tiger]

One day he will kick 4 or 5 , lots of almost there moments ! Played his role though tonight

Didn't see his Great/Greatest/Fabulous dad at the same age as he is now but bejeezus, MRJ is on track to be up there with his dad.
