Daniel Rioli
He might already be a three-time Richmond premiership player, but 2022 has been the most impressive season of Daniel Rioli’s career so far.
After kicking 25 goals in his second season which coincided with the 2017 flag, his form ebbed and flowed in the ensuing campaigns, resulting in multiple demotions to the reserves last year.
His downturn in fortunes led to a shift to the half-back stuff and it is there that Rioli has delivered his best footy.
This year he has gone to a new level as arguably the club’s number one small defender who mixes rebounding expertise with lockdown qualities.
His best finish in a best and fairest to date is equal 10th and he would more than likely be in Richmond’s top five right now, which would be improvement in anyone’s language.
Nathan Broad has also improved in 2022, at times holding the fort in the absence of Dylan Grimes and Nick Vlastuin, while becoming the club’s most prolific rebound defender.

Baker has had a fantastic year, he's really established himself at HB & as a part-time mid. I prefer his defensive work but he's doing so much right this year that he could go anywhere & do anything. :clapping

A lot to choose from.
Broad is in career best form, so is pickett. Rioli really elite at HB and baker and short having stints further up the ground working a treat as well.
I am gonna have to say pickett new cause I didn’t actually rate him until this year but this season he has proven he comfortably deserves to be in our starting 22

thought this discussion would be about younger players you know 23 years and under. After all that is the group we need to improve.
