Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

[UKTiger]

For a skinny fella, he attacks the man and ball with gusto. Puts others like B.Ellis to shame.

So true. He has got something special and hopefully our excuses of a coaching panel wont suck it out of him.

 

[easy_tiger]

Yep. A lot of fans with that no. 17 guernsey are gonna be around again.

already got mine ;D

 

[AngryAnt]

Lightning quick from a standing start. He's gone before the opposition knew he was even there.

 

[rinso17]

Taken me a while but I'm on board the Daniel bus

 

[Tigers2011]

Will be a great player with more size. Probably midfield or high half forward rather than a permanent forward pocket.

 

[Jason King]

Whats not to like? Massive plus we got so many games into him this year. Knows what is required and will work even harder in the off season.

 

[zippadeee]

Beautiful small. Fast classy.pity we only have a 3 man forward line

 

[Rancey18]

Gone past Edwards just about. Hopefully he has greater consistency.

 

[Smoking Aces]

He gut runs. He runs from contest to contest. He more than just a small forward.

 

[Ridley]

Hopefully Hardwick is gone before he gets a chance to destroy Rioli's career as well.

Had a few Cyril moments today.

Fly for a mark, bring it to ground, get the handball, goal.

The intercept handball.

Has got it. Will be a star.

Enjoy it while it lasts. It'll be squashed out of him before too long.

 

[Tellitasitis]

Agree Scoop. There will be better draft choice arguments for a year ot two, but his class will shine through with little if any regret. We had to have this sort of player.

 

[mrposhman]

Doesn't get the stats that his pressure on the ball shows. I don't know where you find out pressure acts but reckon he'd be really high for them. Once he puts a bit more muscle on and like Cyril can make the tackles stick fully then he is going to be a great weapon for us.

Your gone past Edwards.

 

[Tigers of Old]

I absolutely love watching him play. Pace & vision to burn.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

I absolutely love watching him play. Pace & vision to burn.

And yet Hardwick will probably rest him for the last 2 games of the season, because he may get fatigued.

 

[lamb22]

I like him a lot. Great pace. Not sure I agree with you on vision. Has a habit of missing the absolutely obvious in front of him.

Not kicking to Lennon in the second when he was free 30 - 40 out with no one in front of him and instead going to Jack in a one on one a key example.

 

[Mr Brightside]

And yet Hardwick will probably rest him for the last 2 games of the season, because he may get fatigued.

And if he doesn't an Rioli gets OP in the off season it will be all Dimmas fault too.

Has periods of no influence which is expected in your first year as well as the position he plays, however his ability to tackle and touch around the ball has exceeded my expectations in his first year.

 

[tigersnake]

100% wow. Should have got us home in the last, stood up, but unfortunately after he'd made plays he didn't really have a right to, he passed to Lennon....
