Maurice Rioli Jnr
- Thread starter Tigertool
- Start date
Rotten luck for him and I don't know the severity but surgery is often a better option for a quicker and stronger recovery. In 2018 Butler had a syndes. injury and it was treated conservatively for too long and he missed the last 7 weeks at AFL level. Later the same year i think Lambert had a syndes. injury and they operated immediately and he only missed a few games but every case is different.
Yep syndesmosis injuries worry me. Players have had their careers ended due to recurrent issues. Won't see him again this year I wouldn't think.
The surgery option may improve the outcome for this injury depends on the damage. Hopefully only miss some weeks rather than the season.

I don't believe Tresize haa surgery. General consensus seems to be 3-6 months if surgery was required.
Not surprised thats a very unfortunate injury for Maurice and at the worst time as he was starting to improve his game and was starting to get some midfield time.
The fact Jnr does not return to preseason in very good nick is a concern with this lengthy lay off he will be under plenty of scrutiny to minimise the damage during his period of non-weight bearing.
Hopefully the lad has a full recovery.
Disapointing injury.
Thanks Trelol you clampet.

Like any joint injury it depends on the severity of the damage and what specific surgery is required. Jnr was in a lot of pain and carried off so his would be at least a moderate amount of damage and it certainly could be many months recovery. Tresize may not have had surgery and Lambert in 2018 had a minor syndy in the 1st qtr but played out the game then limped into the club the next day. He had a minor procedure and only missed 2 matches at season's end but he didn't star in those finals. Tough on Jnr when he was getting more comfortable at the level.
WTF are u in about? Is this a joke? One of the funniest things I have heard on hear. What’s Freo got to do with anything?
U clearly know not much about how the draft and father son works.
How funny that Rioli mentioned this in an interview last week and said tigers were going to rookie him but anyway u know best.
Shame he will miss Dreamtime in a year in which he designed the guernsey. Pretty sure that happened to another player previously, perhaps Stack?
So it is not the run of the mill syndesmosis injury and needs time to heal. I hope we give the kid time to be right before picking him again only for him to go down injured again as it does seem we have done this with too many players in recent weeks
So potentially back round 20 (approx).
Close to season ending
Maurice Snr played 118 games for Sth Fremantle, so he could have been taken as a father son by them too.
He was also in Essendon's NGA zone. He could have gone there too.
Because they’ve got links to South Fremantle, players who played for them can be considered as father son. When we were first interested in MJR, they were listed as a possibility, although he was never going to go anywhere other than Richmond.
