Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

[BillyJean17]

The club has not been honest in my opinion , dont let the facts get in the way of behind these 4 walls , recon if he had done a knee he would be back sooner .....

If a knee reco was done in October , he d be back in October . Umm it’s now April :

If the AFL.site says he is 'closer' expect him back around round 22

Back to being negative Zips, and here I was thinking you had changed.

It was an article quoting Balme by the way.

Happy 21st Daniel.
Has recently brought himself a house and is moving out of coach's home shortly.
Going out with Fevola's daughter. Not doing too badly for a 21yr old. On or off the field

provided Fevola's daughter's mum has strong genes.

*smile* taste in men!

Must say I'm more comfortable with Dimma as landlord than Fev as FIL!!

You and others might be relieved to know that Mia Fevola is not actually Fev's daughter; his step-daughter. Her father, and mum's first husband, died young.

sad for Mia.

dont get me wrong, I've always liked Fev.

sure, he dranks and punted too hard, but i was never gonna cast the first stone.

But he's no oil painting

I'm sure Mia is a lovely girl :hearton

Disappointing. Rioli into Fevola.
Haven't had that breeding since Tuck into Ablett

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Thankfully Fev's genes got nowhere near her.

Yeah, she's doing well for herself.

Any update on Rioli? Last update I thought was that he was aiming for round 6-ish. Dunno if that was round 6 AFL or VFL though.

Richmond wesbite says as of April 26th return to be confirmed. This indicates to me maybe still a while off. I think serious ankle injuries are often under-estimated. They can often be worse than knee recos so it's best to take the conservative approach. I think he wil find his way back in the VFL so even if he was tracking for availability within the next 4 weeks still could be 6 or 7 before we see him back at AFL level.

It is odd. The injury was 7 months ago now. Does a broken foot (ankle?) normally take this long?

Bummer, thanks for that TL. We miss him.

Yes. It was a Lisfranc metatarsal injury.
That is metatarsal fracture and associated ligament rupture.
A serious injury that can end careers.
6-12 months depending on grade.
So progress is pretty much as expected .

Will join the main group this week, playing VFL in 2 -3 weeks & available for AFL selection in 5, (DREAMTIME!)

That is me looking into my crystal ball anyway ;D
