Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

[achillesjones]

Patience grasshopper. Another big step for a young man yesterday. Cyrilesque at times.

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.

No that would just be bad luck. There are 2 games to go, CC. Do you really think those 2 games are going to break Rioli or any other young player?

Wouldn't think it would make or break him CTT. His had a few weeks off and a VFL game so he should be right to go ? Peter Burge seems pretty switched on with the management of players, so I'd go with his judgement on all of the youngsters for the final 2 weeks, actually against the Swans I'd blood a few and send our key players on holidays early

This CC

I would even consider, if possible picking Choi against Alir to see how the two boys go.

Worth watching

He's had a stand out year in my book.

Great effort by the kid given his age.

That said, its all downhill from here given the way Richmond
develops and coaches its young players....

Daniel Smith. I don't see any significant resemblance between him and other Smiths. Not to say there aren't many worth comment.

But I love the delusion of the child. He wants to punch everybody up. Because he's bigger than them.

And then he punches them up. And runs away with the football.

He should be giving transfusions to every other senior player. (Except Rance.)

His kicking. It was pretty poor early daws and yes, he failed in vision (actually poise) a couple of times. But he still hit targets. He didn't used to do that.

In every respect, more so in his failings, he's improved. Daniel Smith, against top-four company, proved on Sunday that he is a senior player.

 

[Colonel]

Boy can play. Great work ethic.

 

[UKTiger]

The Rioli genes are there. He can hold his head high at this seasons performance

 

[The_General]

Can't wait for him to be Richmonised.

 

[Razorgang2]

I am salivating at the future. Pity he plays for Richmond. 8-

 

[Tigers of Old]

Getting better every week. 3 votes from me.

 

[TJsFurrow]

Release Daniel to the midfield.

 

[UKTiger]

Can't wait for him to be Richmonised.

No doubt Dimma and the coaches will be working hard over the pre-season to do that

 

[MB78]

Boy can play. Great work ethic.

Sure can. Also our most physical player today was our smallest framed player. Says a lot really.

 

[spook]

Finishing strong when could be excused for fading out. Highly promising first season. Great game today.

 

[zgod]

Hbf round one 2017

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Release Daniel to the midfield.

They'll probably play him in defence, isn't that where every young player winds up at Richmond?

 

[zippadeee]

I would have to apologise. I thought he didn't have it in him. He was Brillant today.
Pity his other brother Edwards was a heap of *smile* again today
