Maurice Rioli Jnr

[WesternTiger]

Bears little resemblance to the kid we first saw, scoop. Now 19yo. One more week like last and he has to play ones. Looks a pure mid to me. And that is the emerging consensus.

I've got my hopes set on Dreamtime. Fair chance young Maurice does too. (But he wants to play in it.)

Freak new gift? I've never seen it before. He teleports. Not there. Then there. Watch the replay on the AFL site. It's porno.

Brings to the contest what we have sorely been lacking this year

That first tackle at the start of the game where he bent the guy completely in half.....*smile* me I'd like to see him do it to Oliver or Petracca. He set the tone for the whole match. He's like lightning you see the flash then hear the thud later.

MRJ may come in for Dow, WT, who was a bit lost last week.

Could it be he is/was never a forward and just needs to continue to build his tank in order to play his natural position (onball)?

He was a bit of both for st Mary’s up here but probably never had enough tank for full mid time

Dynamic.

I don’t know if he could do it to Oliver or Petracca just yet, they’re both fairly battle hardened. Kosi Pickett on the other hand…

I've been saying it for two years (and been wrong for most of it but), get him in!

Morris-

Maurice Rioli (seven disposals, four tackles, three inside-50s)

"A quieter game offensively but his impact on the game was still quite high. He had a couple of inspirational defensive efforts that really got us going in the second half."

Tear em a new one Maurice.

First time a Rioli has played on another Rioli?

No.
His parents were first

Yep, gotta pay that.

At this level you’d have to think so. It’d be pretty confusing commentating out a Pirlungimpi

Rioli tackles Rioli and Rioli gathers the loose ball ... fun times

 

[tigerman]

No.

I wonder what position they played.

 

[spook]

I wonder what position they played.

Dad was obviously in the forward pocket that night.
