Maurice Rioli Jr Set To Be A Tiger in 2020

[JDC!]

*EDIT* Sorry, I couldn't find the other thread at first - feel free to merge!

Maurice Rioli Jr is eligible to become a Richmond player this upcoming off-season. There's been some conjecture about where he will end up, but he's a lifelong Tigers supporter so no doubt he'll be pulling on the yellow and black.

I've been writing about Maurice ever since I coached him in the U12s at St Marys in Darwin. A great kid, and after watching his development over the years, I feel he can become a great footballer too.

I've created a highlight video of some of his performances this season at Premier League level in the NTFL.

At the end there he makes Marlion's GF pirouette look quite bland in comparison, looks super quick and knows how to tackle which will suit the Richmond way.

The boy has some tricks

 

[Dr Awkward]

Where is he projected to go in the draft?

 

[Michaels]

Loves to tackle and they seem to stick!

Will be interest to see how the lack of football currently impacts his ranking and our decision on if we take him (I think we will)

 

[Al Heimer]

Where is he projected to go in the draft?

Pick No. 1.

On SM-J250F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yeah, I saw a video of him training in Victoria with Jamarra Ugle-Hagan - one of the best kids in this year's draft - a couple of weeks ago.

wow wee

is there some destiny in this ?

even just a few short years back it Punt Rd would have been the wrong time and place

the pressure for him to succeed and the hopes he would lead us out of the football wilderness would have been too great

but now we have the resources and we have the culture for him to grow
and most importantly we have the list depth that he will also have time

He will have his early hit outs in a VFL side that will have a liberal sprinkling of AFL premiership players , as has been the case recently
He will potentially line up along side the likes of Ross , Naish , Turner , Stack , Dow etc
He wont be able to make them look like chumps , he will have to work hard and play well to get praise
hopefully that will stop him getting ahead of himself , just think for a second , how many back slappers has he had in his short life time
telling him what a mega star he will become

Its a great time to be a Tigers supporter

Rookie or undrafted. He’s not very good.

Just read big footy. Kinda works for Norf.

How good is the basketball bounce in the last clip

already flown past Daniel

Yeah he kicked a goal in the highlights and laid a tackle. That's enough to convince me. MJ >>> Daniel

 

[tigs2010]

He looks on par if not better than Maurice Sr in those highlights.

 

[VB_longneck]

I can see him getting games as a small forward in the ones next year. we are really shit in that area

**** imagine the tricks he will pull out at the G infront of the grog squad

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Hope he turns out to be your traditional type goal kicking small forward not JUST a really good defensive small

hope he becomes a mid

 

[Barnzy]

Looks like a future brownlow medalist to me.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

I'm so excited about MR Jnr

 

[TJTIGER]

Each time I see footage of him he reminds me more & more of MR Snr....just imagining 2 Rioli's in the forward line or middle is DELICIOUS....The closing speed of both is redonkulous
