How did we all rate Dan Rioli's year?

[Andyy]

3, and only that good because they found a job for him at the end of the year.

Before that he was downright crap.

[WilliamPowell]

gave him a 3

Very disappointing year.

Lack of intensity, lack of forward half pressure, lack of desperation at the contest when he went to contests

but..............

Thankfully, his last couple of games across half back were good. Looking forward to 2022 and him building on that

[MintOnLamb]

Gave him a 7 for the second half of the year where I thought he was much better

[lamington]

Gave him a 7 for reinventing himself. I crap on about this but I don’t think he ever got over the ankle injury in the GF

[Damo]

Gave him a 5
As a forward a 2 was generous
As a back he was an 8+

[the claw]

 i would trade him out. Another horrid season as a fwd and far too many supporters are talking up his game as a recieving hbf a role that is often reserved for kids to perform.

[The Machine]

Failed as a forward this year but was a pass as a defensive runner. Overall it's a pass from me as the future is bright for him in the back half.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

i would trade him out. Another horrid season as a fwd and far too many supporters are talking up his game as a recieving hbf a role that is often reserved for kids to perform.

Or genuinely aggressive and skilful rebounding backs who can set up scoring opps from
D50.
I just think we have better options than Dan there.

[Tiger Khosh]

See how he goes next season. Still think at full strength without any injuries he back 6 would consist of balta, grimes, broad, vlastuin, short and stack. I guess that leaves 1 spot available in the 22 for a defender, have my doubts dans future is down back but happy to be proven wrong.
