His first goal came at just the right time. His running and pressure was great. He was a whisker away from a 3 goal final. Average? I spose if you're a pure stats man you'd rate the lions players higher than ours?

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
Nothing to do with stats, I am commenting on his output. 1st half a fail, he was non-existent. 2nd half redeemed himself with a couple of great goals so a pass. As I said defensively was a pass, 6 tackles 35 pressure acts. still looks bereft of confidence to me. I'd like nothing more than to see him up the ante in the next final.
Interesting stat mentioned last night - he has the most goals in a final of any Rioli.
Couldn’t care less about his disposal numbers. His go is running, chasing, harassing, pressure and to snag a few goals. Should’ve kicked 3 and could’ve kicked 4. Big tick in these areas last night.
That one surprised me too. I was sure it would be Cyril. He put on a lot of pressure last night.
Heard the injury lady on GameDay, she said he came back in and looked okay, with the extra week should be good to go.
Slipped over right in front of me twice so I went off me nut. 1 min later he starts jaggin snags.
Correct, 5 Riolis have played:
- Maurice played 2 finals, highest nbr of goals was 3
- Dean played 9 finals, highest was 2
- Cyril played 19 finals, highest was 3
- Daniel played 6 highest was 4
- Willie played 4, highest was 1
Also an interesting stat, 2018 was the first year two Riolis have played finals in the same year (Daniel & Willie)
Yep same one he hurt in the GF. I doubt they'd send him on again if it was a concern. The game was done at that point.
Watched the replay earlier. ... had different boots on in the second half fwiw.
Daniel has been a little down this year but I have watched him closely in replays of games and live and if there was a stat for causing players to miss kick or rush kicks because they are being chased and about to be caught then he would be leading it.
His pressure on the opposition backline is incredibly important to us

They weren't "tributes".
He was just letting family know he was thinking of him and supporting him.
Fair enough too. Everyone makes mistakes.
Willy did something really silly and will pay for it big time.
No need to pile on any more since he's probably ruined his own life.
They say Cyril was the best 12-possession player there was. This kid is on the same trajectory.
Yeh I get that and knew I’d get this response but at least twice in and after the game seemed over the top. Willy cheated, it’s serious business. I didn’t like it.
Didn't think it was a drama, simply to let Willie know he was thinking of him. At least it wasn't a hand cuff salute.
