Maurice Rioli Jnr

[year of the tiger]

He is another I would like to see debut - the Saints would be a good game to do so - he wouldn’t do any worse than Martyn did last night.

 

[DavidSSS]

Debut him in he Grand Final - 2 Riolis in a Grand Final - guaranteed win

I think the knock on rioli was his conditioning and fitness so if he doesn't play seniors for a while (first half of the year) then that is probably one reason.

Could be a sub option

 

[Streak]

I am tipping he debuts in the next few weeks.

Dreamtime game.

 

[Tigers2011]

Just give him this year in VFL. Far too early for AFL - needs a body to cope with it first.

It's all about the GPS. When he tackles or bumps, it's the opponent's body that doesn't cope with it.

He’s a hard little chunk

Agree. He's just a kid straight from the NTFL; didn't even get to play school or TAC Cup in '20. It's great that he looks promising but throwing him in too early could be a bad move for his development.
Sure, I'm frustrated about giving away Butler along with the unimpressive form of Aarts, DRioli and even Castagna.

But we're still the premiers last 3 from 4. No need to push the panic button just yet.

Could be a sub option

Just Jack Silvagni someone like the Blues have done a few times 2/3 the way through the match and just give him one quarter to go at it.

Watching Liam Ryan and NicNat run around with what can only be described as sub-optimal physiques, I see no reason not to give Rioli Jr a game if the form is there.

you have to put J McGuv in the SOP category too.

Ain't the shape of the physique you worry about, it's the capacity to play the game at the required level. Could simply be that Maurice is still learning the basic structures of the game we play, or building enough motor to compete for enough game time. Won't be in the slightest surprised to see the young fella get some senior game time this season.

Considering the variety of different size n shape players who've starred in our game over any generation, is there any such thing as an optimal physique?

 

[tigerman]

Come on Dimma, give Mojo a game, he's the son of Maurice, he was born for the big time.

 

[tigertim]

Far too early to be giving MRJ a game.

I think that's pessimistic Aces

Chunky lady, come home with me

Do you start running after that
