TheRoar website says Maurice Jnr.

Who is the best young AFL player at your club?

The rules for this piece are as follows:

• One player per club.
• The player must have played under ten games.
• The player cannot be selected in the 2021 AFL draft (mid-season rookie draft is acceptable).
• The player must be under 21 coming into season 2022.

Richmond Tigers: Maurice Rioli Jr

The father-son prospect shapes as a talented small forward/midfielder possessive of the traits that made his father such a talent for the Tigers.

The younger cousin of Daniel Rioli, Junior played a couple games at the end of 2021 and will shape as a solid addition to a rapidly ageing side.

He provides a mercurial edge to a Tigers line up that has been overflowing with gifted small forwards across their dynasty and will look to add games to his record in 2022.

I thought you weren't supposed to describe aboriginal players with words like "mercurial" and magic.  Anyway I see him more a tackling offensive pressure forward than a kick one over his shoulder from a tight angle type. I also think he needs work and is slow so no guarantees on him making it but I'm hopeful.
