Player Watch #17: Daniel Rioli - Requested A Trade To Gold Coast

[mcuzzy]

Surely Rioli is better than Sheds?

Sheds 2015 form before getting injured probably had him on track to lock in an AA spot, so if Rioli can be as good as Edwards at his best, then that's fantastic.

Looking forward to Daniel Rioli proving me wrong- But for the moment I'm on the other side of the fence.

 

[pebblestone]

That is not a highlight package its 1 game

No shit. Thanks for explaining that to me. The package on the club website is impressive. The first half of the youtube one is terrible. That's all I'm saying.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Welcome to Richmond.

Happy with this we have had some safe picks over recent years.
I have never seen a Rioli put on a Richmond jumper and can't wait.

Looking forward in 2-3 years when we have 2 of them running around.

Has there been a dud with that surname?

Resurrect number 17?

 

[peternorth]

i think he'll be a terrific servant of the club

 

[Groupie_]

YESSSSSS!!!!!! GOMMY BOY!!!!!!!

is this the first time a grandson will play before a father/son selection?

THIS WILL BREAK THE CURSE!!!!!

inb4 Maurice jnr gives it away to work at Melville K mart

The Essendon one was serviceable, that's about it.

 

[tora tora tora]

welcome

not really expecting new draftee to be able to walk into the team

(but hope he can )

we need a star in this position

 

[juss]

Happy to take a risk on x factor, exactly what we need.

 

[BKM78]

Welcome to Tigerland Rioli!! Sounds awesome.
Looks a good get. Kid is talented. Will make an impact.

 

[Groupie_]

The Essendon one was serviceable, that's about it.

Maurice = star, best aboriginal to play the game
Cyril = very good player
Dean = VS Executive series II

Didn't Hardwick once say he expects his 1st round draft picks to be able to play from round 1 or Year 1?

 

[Nostradumbass]

VS Executive series II

I had one of those, clocked up 600k's in it. It was a good car never let me down.

 

[Groupie_]

So is Daniel Maurice's older sons son ?

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Very happy with this pick. Just what we need.
Welcome to tigerland Daniel!

Sent from my brain using ESP.

 

[VaultWanderer]

balic is sliding

I had one of those, clocked up 600k's in it. It was a god car never let me down.

I had a vs statesman and the auto and motor (supercharged v6) shat itself at 130,000kms

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Damn it, watched the highlight package and now I'm covered in ectoplasm.

Seriously though, exactly what the doctor ordered IMO.

• Elite pace and stamina.
• Contested ball winning ability.
• Loves to tackle.
• Silky skills.
  
• x factor.

This does not bode well for Stevie Morris' hopes of being a small forward in 2016....

Only thing I had to replace was the starter motor. It was ****ed by the time I got rid of it but it served me well.

 

[I Rock]

Your not happy with a Shane Edwards type from a pick 15 in a poor draft?

You my friend overrate draft picks.

The drafts not poor as there is not such thing. It's shallow, the top 25 from this year are just as good collectively as any. This draft is just not rated as it goes further along.

 

[captain cotch 9]

How does he compare size wise to Cyril when he was drafted?

 

[I Rock]

Ive got an idea lets bag the kid before he plays a game to ruin any confidence the poor kid has. What a bunch of absoloute co ck suckers we have on here. Go support another club you flo gs. Get a ******* life and give the bloke a chance.

Wow you mad. I would be worried if a player loses confidence after reading a forum board. Imagine how he will go with a packed g and 30 to 40 odd opposition supporters booing him. It would drive him to near suicide.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Haven't watched any highlights yet I am waiting for the draft to be over.

Are they really that good?

 

[Bazzar]

So is Daniel Maurice's older sons son ?

EDIT- I was wrong, not Grandson

Daniel is the son of Brad who is Dean from Essendon's brother, and they are Sebastion's sons. So maurice isn't his grandson

 

[Tiger2709]

Seriously, how good is seeing his name back in the Y&B

Spot on, loving this pick.

The kid could become the x factor we lack.
