Seems more confident these days. Could also be a fitness thing?

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
I don't know about that.
Avoidance is a skill - just like reading the flight (Lovemachine - as someone describes him), reading the bounce (MJR) or disguising a clip when spoiling (Grimes).
How many times has Edwards been pile-driven? To paraphrase another poster - slippery as an oiled pig in a monsoon (isn't that great?).
If he finishes the game with the nickname Eel I'll be chuffed.

So many times he is the one who has run hard to be in the vision of the player about to cough the ball up and Instead he becomes the outlet that creates an overlap and damaging forward entry.
Super encouraging.

Plenty of sauce on the Sausage Rioli. Found himself a niche with some breathing space coming off half back n his game's opened up beautifully. His replacement up forward, uncle Moju appears to have the necessary tools to be more than adequate as he develops along.
Dan is just maturing into someone confident in his skills and knowledge of the game and using it to great effect off half back
Yep. Maturity is the word especially mentoring his Uncle Mozza on and off field.
Pffft. Half back flankers are a dime a dozen.
Half forward flankers can win grand finals.
Now that he has well and truly played himself into form he needs to play forward with MJ, with Shorty in the guts.
Bakes and Stacky as small backs.
The backline talls look good with Dylan, Noah, Vlossy, Gibcus and Iron balls.

Actually would love to see how this would go. Dan went through a mental rut for a while but reckon he's freshened up now and enjoying footy again. Imagine 2 Riolis roaming and hunting in the fwd line. Hope we mix it up a bit.
Would love to see what he could do in the midfield, maybe next year or if there were a few injuries in there. I wouldn’t like to see him used as a permanent forward again. He seems happier behind the ball and linking up with his fellow back man.
One of my absolute delights used to be to watch the magic of the Krakouer brothers. I have a bias towards creative forwards. They provide so much of the best excitement of our game.
I’ve always liked DR however thought we supporters overrated him a bit at times and since he hurt his foot in the 2017 GF hasn’t been overly consistent , however he’s move to half back has probably added 200k per year to his new contract at the end of the year and made him a genuine chance for an All Australian spot.
Biggest improver this season I’d say

The Richmond Regent is but 8 games into his destiny.
He was quiet early against Hawthorn. Lifted.
How long does it take? Royalty succeeds on merit at AFL level.
Daniel Rioli is not waiting for anybody to die. The crown is his to seize.

Could not be happier for the Prince.
From question marks on his footballing future to now questions on just how much his new contract could be worth.
Dare I say it but he’s the perfect replacement for Houli but with a better shoe.
Has to be in the conversation for AA. One of many me thinks

Just looks the part now and improving week on week. As DA says a perfect replacement for Bachar so Bachar retiring hasn't hurt us at all. Even the AA selectors have to be watching him now
Basher is champion
Rioli is on the verge of becoming a gun half back.
He has been brilliant this year
