Next up is Maurice Rioli jnr.
In his third season, Maurice played 10 games out of a possible 23 to take his career tally to 27. A mixture of form (or rather lack of it) plus two hamstrings curtailed his year. After playing in five of the opening six rounds, he pulled his first hammy during the Anzac Eve loss to Melbourne which forced him out of the AFL side, and he didn't return until just before the bye in round 14. He was then in and out of the seniors for the rest of the season. He was dropped again before the Round 16 match against Brisbane, then brought back for two games before being dropped again. Maurice finally returned for the last two matches only to do another hammy on the other leg in the last round against Port. Stats-wise, Maurice only reached double digit possessions and kicked goals on one occasion in 2023 which was in the opening round against Carlton.
Season highlights
● 11 disps (7 kicks 4 hballs), 2 marks, 3 tackles and 2 goals in the Rd 1 draw with Carlton at the MCG (Mar 16).

How did we all rate Maurice's year?
-
Gave him a 4 and that's simply for his defensive efforts which are clearly his strengths
Overall I tohguht it was a disappointing year. I expected him to stich up a permanent place in the 22 and he didn't
Fumbles too much and I think that's a by product of his decision making.
Was pleased to see him finally get midfield time in the VFL where he showed some promise
2024 us going to me a massive year for MJ
-
Was also expecting a better year this year. In 2022 he put on a good base and should have lifted his output further.
Has good speed and pressures well, but he is still a forward and needs to increase his goal scoring. Castagna kicked 26/27 goals for three years on end.
Can MRJ do the same. Right now not confident
-
2
Rubbish season … wasted season
Zero development whatsoever
-
0 for being consistently undamaging.
Went backwards.
-
a zero for me for looking fat and lazy during games. It would have been a 1, but then his petulant antics refusing to answer the call brought it down to zero.
one more year then its a rookie spot from 2025.
-
I was excited heading into round 1. I thought he was awesome in 2022 .
He has not progressed at all . Seems devoid of confidence.
-
I would rate him a 3/10. He needs to train as a midfielder and get super fit.
Offers very little offensively.
Has talent, reckon the coaches are putting too much emphasis on his pressure where I believe he should be encouraged to attack and score first, defend later.
-
Needs to calm down - spends it before he gets it , even his tackling was poor for the most part this year -endemic of the side as a whole. Still think he'll be a player though - just stop expecting an exact clone of his old man who was one the greatest players of all time, so even if he just ends up a poor man's version that 'll still be very handy. :shh

Can’t say fat Frankie
Been established in the AFLW thread we should say overweight
Oh hang on .. this is the male side .. fat is fine here
-
Zero. Atrocious season, 1 acceptable performance all year. Continues to get opportunities he doesnt deserve or has been made to earn. That's not his fault, just shows we need fresh faces on the coaching landscape

Another one of our kids that regressed backwards.

Isn't a double negative a positive, so by regressing backwards hasn't he progressed...

The world as we knew it is fried

NEXT YEAR MASSIVE FOR RIOLI
Richmond small forward Maurice Rioli has committed to completing a massive off-season of training to give himself the best chance of playing regular football after a below par third season.
Rioli kicked 14.7 last year in his second season in 15 matches but regressed this year with 2.5 from 10 games and was often used as starting substitute or subbed out mid-game.
He notably refused to answer the phone to assistant coach Xavier Clarke before accepting when subbed off against West Coast.
Both times he has returned from his off-season breaks having to play catch-up but has committed to a better off-season break as he works on a fitness regime.
Rioli is committed to the Tigers until the end of next year, so needs to make every post a winner.

Why? Because you want to use the word fat?
I would say there’s hyper sensitivity both ways.
-
No
It’s because use of the word fat even warrants comment
How soft and ridiculous

Fatty Boomsticks. :shh
