Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

Should have kicked 3 today.

But hasnt dont much in a conventional sense for a couple of years.

I know we arent conventional and

I revere the kid,

But his spot in the 22 has to be tenuous?

Looks great..... until he needs to convert a set shot.... maybe drawing a long bow, but I only notice him exaggerating a limp when going for a set shot... otherwise seems to get about ok. Odd

Yeh, he's playing on reputation. Has been for a while. Is usually a reliable set shot, maybe his confidence is at an all-time low?

Out of interest who else do we have as small forwards ?

At one point not so long ago , it seemed we had small quick forward options coming out of our ears

Bolton or Edwards. Seems like it's robbing Peter to pay Paul though.
 
I don’t care about missing goals, it’s how meek he is at the contest. He doesn’t actually want the ball anymore.

He is now a soft footballer

Is not a contested beast just bobs up every now and then so needs to kick a goal when he gets the chance.
He and Aarts don’t look up to the standard so far.

I think playing Bolton and Edwards forward while rotating through the midfield is our best option. This set up would allow RCD and Ross to get a game. We are in danger of losing good young player if they don’t get a run. I think arts is a bust and Rioli has been out of form for a couple of years. I hope our coaches catch on...
 
I’m tempted to suggest it but sounds like he may not be ready yet

dreams come true in Tigerland. magic happens. Mr. Magic Jr happens to be in Tigerland.

reality is overrated.

he was ready the moment Dad felt a stirring in his loins

* note; I am not calling for Danny to be dropped. I love him. Im just trying to understand our best 22

Daniel has 3 Premiership medals , played nearly 100 games , however I’m not sure how many times his been in our best half dozen , I’m not convinced we don’t have a better option running around in the magoos , in saying that I’d imagine his winning percentage of games would be as good as anyone’s

If he kicks 2 goals a game I’d be more than happy with that return.
I would be very happy if he doubled his career average too.
Back to ave. 1 after today.
(His last shot he seemed dazed or had his eye poked, took an enter itt to get back to take his kick and was called to play on)

The language is giving me déjà vu, think this arose last year : Danny you aren't dropped, you are just not in our best 22.

This talk on Daniel is weird

He kicks straight he kicks 4 goals and he is in the best list

Not in great form but he has played worse and kept his place in the team

The only one that could take his place is MRJ and he isn’t ready

he didn't convert today, but did find himself in the positions he's meant to convert from.
hard to judge so i won't. if anything ... needs to find more of the ball ...
