Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

It sure was. Been following this club all my life and have had rare moments like that one.Tigers of Old said:
The crowd rose as one.

I said exactly the same thing Tooheys. I can't remember anything like that from a Richmond player. Including Michael Mitchell's goal.
What was nearly as good as the goal was his shepherd for Butler to kick the goal. Looked like Usain Bolt chasing down McGovern.
The way he embraces the fans, last player off the ground. Rioli quickly becoming my favourite player.
From memory, wasn't it Callum Ah Chee the club really wanted (probably along with 10 or so other clubs), under a 'best available policy'? But given, as expected, Ah Chee went earlier in the draft, the club went for Rioli as 'next best' similar type of player.tha8ball said:
Ah Chee's early performances have been solid and he will turn out a very good player. But early signs seem to be showing Rioli is just that that bit special and really was the pick of small fwds from that draft. Sometimes the cards just fall your way. And god knows we were long overdue one of those instances from the draft gods....

Nice work Brissie. Still yet to re-sign BTW. Better get the ink down quick!

ive had this hunch that spook runs into easy right in frtont of patty smith and they go apeshit and patty invites 'em bvackstage, and they have to top up the rider cause tigers beat brisbane by an unprecendented margin and peter noble looses his *smile* and cant find enough bourbon for the situation.

Was thinking exact same thing. He seemed involved in everything. Couldn't believe he had only 9 touches

Way to make a negative out of a positive. Seriously mate, [expletive deleted]

Sounds like that bloke who plays for Hawthorn who has been All-Australian a few times
I am going to call it now ... I reckon Dan Rioli is going to be a better player than cousin Cyril.
Some of those efforts yesterday against the Eagles were sublime and brilliant.

At this stage I am just hoping for as good as Cyril - means we have an elite player on our books but hey I don't want to put a ceiling on his development

Fair enough, YOTT. Daniel will be elite. But with Hawthorn potentially on the slide (?) it will be interesting to see how Cyril plays in a team that isn't any longer performing to the highest standards. Cyril is a gun, no doubt about it, but I do see in Daniel a player that is growing rapidly into a serious threat to opposing teams. Just hoping that Daniel gets to have a few premiership medallions swinging around his neck come his career's end.

It's going to be a great ride - already is I guess.
Interesting that they both have started their careers strongly and needed little time to impact games
Wish I was there yesterday to witness that goal and be a part of the Richmond faithful. Watching from QLD just isn't the same.
I just stood up in my lounge room, fists in the air. What a goal.
