Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
My wife , who knows little about football , but sees it occasionally on the tv when myself and our sons are watching , said gee he looks different , has he put on weight ? thought it was an interesting observation from someone who takes little interest, but that stood out enough for her to mention it .
He appears finished. Like jacob townsend would beat him over 30m.
Of course things are not often as they appear?

Dimma gives this guy way too much of a free pass wins no ball at all and then the whole pressure and tackles thing at times is overblown
Had 6 disposals 0 tackles and 13 pressure acts compare that to Higgins 19 disposals 3 tackles 21 pressure acts

Can only go on what we see and he's dropped off the pace by a long way. Injury, overweight, lost interest, personal issues - who knows? Only he and the club know but atm the team can't afford to carry him so whatever the issue/s is/are he definitely should be dropped for the North game.
Yep I’ve had enough of Rioli’s lack of output.
Even Castagna contributes more per game than Dan the Rioli man.
He hasn’t been the same player since he broke his foot late in the 2017 granny.

George and Daniel are both in troughs at the moment. For team morale, they might need a rest for a few weeks. Both were probably saved by the compulsory changes this week. Would love to have them both back soon though.
Daniel did not do enough in the Scratch Match to be recalled especially when it was at the expense of Shai. Dan has never been a big possession winner and earned his keep by those pressure acts you talk about, unfortunately they have been non existent this year and yesterday's were actually damning, can't be retained on that effort.
Is he unfit?, i don't know but nearly looks like he needs 2 weeks on a sprint type running program with plenty of shuttles has lost that zip.
Some hobbo who makes it up.
Rioli isn't going near it, you don't need numbers to tell you that.
Last year he would've snapped that goal in the 3rd qtr. He lost control of it and then he watched them run the ball out
We've talked before about how hard it can be for a small forward to get a kick, and how Daniel Smith would benefit from a luxury he's never been allowed - easy leather at half back. He must occasionally cast a wistful glance at the 18 guaranteed touches the bloke a couple of lockers down with half his talent and 10% of his courage pencils in every week.
But if he's not fit he shouldn't be playing, and ezy's report of slow is concerning.

He doesn't, but footballers like getting kicks. It gives them confidence and enjoyment.
He does.
