Yep, if you want greater efficiency play him half back (not that you would).

Maurice Rioli Jnr

Got a couple of brothers that play golf. For some weird reason, if they manage to have a decent hole or two in a row. They start channeling their inner Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus thought processes. Needless to say their games always turn to *smile* in a hurry and they spend the rest of the round cursing n slingin clubs. Then they spend hours bullshitting about how good they played for all of one or two holes.
Flog, erm sorry I mean Golf, bloody good way to stuff up a pleasant weekend stroll.
It's a good way of having a stroll with ya mates and having a beer after though
Played midfield, Steve Morris Report.
Maurice Rioli (23 disposals, 13 contested possessions, seven tackles, six clearances)
"He led us for contested possessions, tackles and clearances. He played on ball for the majority of the day and provided us with plenty of pressure in and around the footy. It was great to see him show his strengths further up the field."

Stengle - pick 6 in 17 Rookie Draft. Not sure that screams massive talent?
Played VFL reserves first half of 2017
Played 2 senior games
Didn't get a game in 2018
Played 14 games for the Crows in 2 years
Over a 4 year period he played 16 games.
No AFL club took a chance on him in 2021.
The Cats took a punt on him and his 2022 was remarkable (in the context of his previous form).
I'm not sure how you copuld say MRJ was nowhere near this guys talent? He's shown just as many flashes as Stengle did.
You do know that Stengle made AA last year don’t you?
And destroyed us with 4 goals when we played them last year which should stick in your memory.
Richmond actually wanted to keep him but he got a better offer from Adelaide and was behind a few established small forwards at the time. Like Butler,Rioli and George.
Doesn’t matter where he’s come from ( look where Baker and Lambert were drafted ) and what happened in the past, Stengel is twice the player talent wise.
Let’s be totally serious here. MRJ fumbles and often spends the ball before taking possession, constantly falls over and can’t kick a goal to save his life. He’s future is as a pressure forward only as he doesn’t possess the skills for much else and will be over taken by others unless something dramatically changes.
You’re confusing endeavour and speed with talent.
The contested possessions & clearances stat is of most interest for those who say he can't win his own ball. Glass half full.
It's good they have taken him back to the VFL and into the midfield.
He needs to stay there for the rest of the year and not only rebuild his confidence, but learn to consistently win his own ball.
The trouble then is what he does with it.
Ball butchers don't play AFL.
The MRO is currently trying to find a way to rub out Marlion for 3 weeks
He needs to take the first option.
Always tries to beat an opponent. Last weekend he even tried an U/12s handball over his head that went straight to the opposition after he ran himself into trouble. Again.
Perhaps one day he’ll be stronger and faster and be able to work his way out of the tight spaces but at the moment he needs to stick with the basics

Apparently Ivan Maric knocked him out for not answering the phone quick enough
I saw today a kid who is a midfielder. His ability in the 3rd quarter to change the course of the game was great to see. He hunted the opposition and hurt them on the turnover. 12 tackles 4 direct score involvements.
Agree
Needs to build his tank over preseason and in 2024 become a permanent mid
No more of the defensive forward nonsense
Yep. First half of the game Moju was bog average then somehow, something went click and he was involved in everything. Hunted the ball, hunted the oppo, scrapped, scraped and chipped the ball forward and brought his team mates into the game. Had a massive influence in and under and turned the game in our favour.
