Player Watch Willie Rioli

[Blinky Nyland]

Welcome Junior. We need your skill and footy smarts so badly. Some on here are in for a very pleasant surprise when they see what you can do. Hopefully you get to add another couple of Premierships with us.

Honestly, you got ripped off for Rioli. He was really only preseason draft worthy, not worth losing picks for. But it must be all part of Donuts masterplan.

 

[Chachi]

Very happy to get Rioli. The success of this trade will rest on his ability to get super fit. If he does he has the tools to be a great addition. Very happy to get him.

I reckon he was worth a 1st rounder. I was reliably informed he won a premiership for you off his own boot while he was stoned. What value can you put on that sort of ability?

 

[Macca19]

He’ll do alright for us

 

[davesnothere]

Don't think we actually paid anything for Willie.
Was just thrown into the mix to make it look like we paid something.

He'll go well here.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Handy get and we showed again we can get players to Alberton. Always important to prove to players who nominate Port as their destination.

 

[Sinnthesis]

Will win a few games off his own boat!
Good replacement for Motlop

Look forward to seeing what in can do in 23. Looks like an exciting player.

 

[TeeKray]

There's no doubt we've taken a risk but he's got serious talent. If we can get both him and Fantasia fit and firing at the same time it will cause enormous headaches for opposition backlines.

 

[King_Tredrea]

We never doubted you Willie

 

[Granny Duurs is Lovely]

He then clarified 650 was actually just for the first year.

 

[Rising Power]

I remember him playing for the bays and thought he might be handy. Got there (here) eventually.

I tend to agree. We should have walked him to the draft, but hey he wasn't the main prize.

If one of Junior or Fantasia fire, we're in a good spot.

So what do you reckon we paid for him?

 

[RedBulls]

All this is about is fitness. If Rioli an Fantastia are fit we're instantly a 3 goal better team with them both in.

A nice side piece to the main meal.

If we get the best of him, he’ll be a handy in.

 

[robbo1981]

Going to be very exciting to watch if he puts in the work required.

He should be on a plane in the next 24 hours to train with Boak!

Junior is one of those incredibly rare footy players who can win a ball in the forward pocket and then not just kick at goal or at a player near goal - instead kick it to a player by himself 40 m out directly in front.

No normal brain but an amazing footy brain.

How many premiership teams in the last decade have had a Rioli in them?
