Love it Andy.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Barring injury I'd expect him to play every game

Also expect him to spend some limited time in the mid-field

What excites me most about 2023 - it’s not Taranto or Hopper . It’s not the return of king Dusty . Not Shai .

It’s Maurice Rioli Junior.  I love him .

Add Cumberland, with the big names in our forward line to be guarded he may be without a close check , with a-bit of experience I suspect he might get better this year

Plenty more of watching the opposition grab the ball then a yellow and black blur appearing from absolutely nowhere offscreen and applying a tackle of doom within milliseconds, leaving said opposition player wondering what the heck happened. Love it, MoJu. :)

The favourite player of my mrs and her Filipina friends

They love “the black one”, no racism intended .. they love the smile and the way he runs “faster than the others” and “chases the other team”

Simple outlook from those that don’t know the game, but it’s brilliant

Great to watch it is.

He’s exciting
When he stands out to those that have no idea, for positive reasons, it’s brilliant

He is very exciting to watch, as long as he is having fun with a big smile he will brighten up any game he plays in.
Could be the next superstar
