Player Watch #17 Maurice Rioli Jnr Re-Signed 2026

[Meteoric Rise]

Put it this way if name was not Rioli he wouldn't even be playing Afl

Club should run seminars to educate its supporters that 18 goal kicking kick chasers won't win a footy match.

Flogs when he plays: Did nothing! Only getting picked on his name!

Same flogs when he doesn't play: Where was our forward pressure? Oppo just waltzed out of the fwd 50 with the ball all day!

 

[lizard man]

I think today will be his day ….. the stage is set for him!!

Easily pleased if don't win the ball you don't get a game simple as that.

Mansell is Ablett compared to this bloke.

Jnr shouldn't play again this year and is not AFL standard.

He is suburban level at best

There were red flags when we saw his conditioning on his return to pre season

It's not even conditioning.

He can barely kick a ball, he's not AFL standard.

Enjoy some time in the vfl Maurice…

Posted this before his petulant refusal to take the phone.

Piss him off.... Trade or delist.

Bloke can't kick a ball and acting like a rockstar.

 

[lizard man]

Okay so it wasn’t his day today after all

 

[Tigeron]

Funny how the team seems to play better when Maurice is in it.

You need to support a supercoach team.

That's why we are 14th

Easily pleased if don't win the ball you don't g game simple as that.

You still laughing with egg over face

What petulant disrespect by Maurice not to take the phone to talk to coach after being subbed. Back to reserves for rest of year. Getting too big for his boots. Needs tough love and be away from his ‘bros’ - who have actually achieved something

Imagine if he did it to Dimma?

 

[Daka]

Not the best way to get into the good books of who could be your coach next year.

Very disappointing season from him compared to last years promising year.

Rubbish. He does everything he's supposed to and is very professional.
He was upset because all his family were there, give him a break.

You are a supreme fool.
According to your logic we would have delisted the following players for indiscretions; Martin, Broad, Bolton, Pickett, Riewoldt.

 

[Yappie dribbles]

Will be at essendon were he has always wanted to be

 

[RICHOLEGEND12]

People being a bit harsh on Jnr. He clearly loves the game and the club. Perhaps not the best thing to be doing but to me , being that annoyed that he was subbed, shows he's got the hunger to prove himself.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Yeah a really poor look and disrespect to mini and Maric to refuse to take the phone and sulk.

Will get a good dressing down from the leadership group and may even be made an example of that he’s let down his teammates as well.

I genuinely like MRJ but he’s far from his best atm and needs to regain his confidence and enjoyment in the twos.

He’s supposed to get 6 possessions, 0 tackles and 0 goals again? When the hell is it ok for any player, let alone a rookie nobody to disrespect the coach ? Ivan Maric should of smashed the phone on his forehead

 

[Roksman]

You are a supreme fool.

Shouldn't you still be chained to the Jack Dyer stand?

Ironic post is ironic.

It's no surprise you're blinded by his surname, you're delusion by nostalgia is child like.

Ps: I haven’t written him off as a player and think he could still make it

Write a letter to the club demanding he gets sacked legend.
