GAME DAY - TIGES V SAINTS

Following Dimma's press conference, can someone enlighten me on the exact nature of the role he described for Daniel Rioli? He referred to it as mentally draining and not requiring high possessions or many goals.
Is his role to mainly run, chase, tackle as a defensive forward, then switch to attack when we have the pill? If so, is that any different to the roles played by Castagna, Aarts or Bolton (when forward)?
Is Rioli's role unique within the team?

Feeling uneasy about tonight. Saints can play a quick attacking style that could catch us out. They hit their straps last week. Worried we may have one of those 10+ goal wake up calls that we tend to have early in most years.
It is hard to judge last week but it seems like we had more intent.
We lacked intent and a spark in the first few weeks. Even the first 2 rounds were pretty lack lustre.
I get that premierships are not won in April but if we play like we did in rounds 1-3 we will lose.

Agree. I think an effort like last week will get us home; as long as we are more efficient in our forward line.
Dunno, I just can’t imagine Rioli shouting at George: Zis is Richmond! Ve do not miss set shots here!
If he was going to shout that at George every time he missed Danny would have a very sore throat!
Which is why his role is mentally draining.If he was going to shout that at George every time he missed Danny would have a very sore throat!
Tigers WILL be fired up tonight l expect a hard attack on ball & player.
No prisoners today ..
So many teams have finally learnt to play our game-style, or elements of it. Saints huge comeback win was all on the back of turning around their pressure and playing our way. Led by, guess who?
Butler was the catalyst. Higgins will want to get in on the act tonight after giving them all our inside info. But they were impressive in swamping and belting the Weagles so expecting a really tough one.
We had some mewbies last week and the match was too hot for them although Mansell lucky. Would have liked to throw CCJ in as another forward threat and ruck back-up. We keep expecting Nank to carry such a heavy load, and I really don't like running our KPDs in the ruck - not that they aren't doing a good job. But gives King or Membrey a chance to get off the leash.
Want to see Astbury take King mostly and Balta on Membrey mostly as he gets up the ground and is a good mobile mark. If Noah takes him, doubt he'll kick more than 1/2.
Tigers by 8pts in another fast, ferocious match. Time for Tom Lynch to get back on track.

was talking about this at length with snake today.
we agreed;
1. it was a delightful insight from Dimma
2. the mentally draining could be from concentration required to be where he has to be according to the process, run up when he's meant to run up and back when hes meant to run back, some of which may be counter-intuitive.
3. repeated top speed sprints followed by the unique Rioli clamps tackle would be physically draining. A Rioli leaves a bit of their soul in every tackle.
4. often the coach would say 'great game' and the punters would say 'drop him'. cognitive dissonance is draining
4. its a little bit esoteric, and
5. we love the mystery.
* two No.4s deliberate
he was never going to.
I reckon in terms of the chasm between how good a blokes job is and how much he gets paid,
and his lack of ability,
Tom Browns chasm would be in the 95th percentile
Yuk. I've just had a vision of Tom Brown's damp, dingy sources. Not a pretty sight. And not one for the faint-hearted.
