Still nowhere near his best but he is a class act when he is on.

I deliver magazines to my sister on weekends. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
Tatler. Hello! OKthingo. WW WWF WHE.
And Royals Monthly. That's the one that interests me.
I thumb through every time I pick it up. I'm not disappointed that Daniel is not on the cover. FFS he can't get a kick. But he should be in there somewhere.
Not so much as a *smile* pic.
Anyway I've got to get it again this week. Page 3. Royal tits out.

Agree. Earned his pay cheque tonight, he, Aarts and Castagna were all very good. More of the same.
This is him at his best. If Dan can rediscover form again come finals time we will be unstoppable. Crucial to how we play.
Yes, he did do better but a couple of his handballs to opposition players was not good.
Agree and I'm one for keeping him in the side for the payoff come finals time
Yep.
You don't rely on players like Dan Rioli to get you into finals. You just take them there and let them loose.
Thought he was poor overall. 10 disposals 6 turnovers. Caught a couple of times far too easily, some really bad disposal and sometimes I couldn't believe how bad he was at the contest when the ball was there to be won. Just 2 contested possessions, lowest in the team bar Grimes. Yes he did a couple of good things but too few too far in between. I'm sad to see him in this vein but his heart doesn't seem to be in it.
His running chasing and pressure has been good but I've been a bit disappointed with what he does around the ball. Hesitates when going for the ball and is slow with his decision making and disposal.
Was a one touch quick thinking confident player once upon a time.

Seems to have lost confidence inside.
Taking too long, not taking first option, or takes first option but it is very predictable, momentum killer ......
Love his run and linking when on song, showing signs ....
Maybe he goes back crumbing closer to goal where he has no time to think?

The thing is before the first lockdown he looked to be absolutely flying. I really noticed how well he was moving.
After lockdown it was a completely different story. All people are dealing with issues differently who knows how much it affected Dan?
The trip up to Darwin to see friends & family might be just the tonic Rioli needed to get a lift out of himself.
Just so happy to see that intensity & work rate returning.

I feel the same. He clearly isn’t as sharp as he once was, regardless of what they may be asking him to do. I think that whatever is happening with him is psychological. His talent is inherent and wouldn’t have just disappeared.
Yep that’s the Rioli we need. Not seeing enough of it though he is improving in small increments.
Learnt a lot about Daniel Rioli in that last Q. Definitive proof. He's been bludging.
0 tackles is the biggest issue. If you aren't racking up the ball and not kicking goals you need to be tackling non-stop. Just doesn't have the zip we know him for. Worrying
