Daniel Rioli [merged]

Was Rioli upset/emotional after the siren?

Looked like Jack was comforting him and he was possibly using his jumper to wipe tears off his face?

Had his back to me couldn't get a clear look.

This kid is excellent, great pressure, full of run, superb tackling, goal smarts. Look out when he can break tackles and really dodge and weave..

[Lozza]

Needs to start eating 17 Weetbix everyday for breakfast. Gets caught like a ragdoll everytime he goes near the ball but at around 60 odd kgs thats going to happen.

Once he gets some strength in his body then watch out, is definitely a keeper. His pressure and tacking inside forward 50 is worth his spot alone.

Should also be made the clubs tackling coach, a first year player showing more seasoned players hownit should be done.

Totally agree. Has the x factor.

Was thinking the same thing. He's so exciting with his smarts, speed and pressure and the only thing letting him down is the strength to just wiggle out of those tackles that he almost evades.

X 3. His defensive work is so refreshing to see from a Tiges forward. I'll admit I didn't see him contributing like this till next year. Shows what happens when you give a kid a block of games (as long as the effort is there).

Pretty excited to see what he'll do in a couple years when he puts on a few kg's and gets some penetration in his kicking.

Things we learned from round eight

1. Daniel Rioli will be a star
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick was an assistant coach at Hawthorn when Cyril Rioli won a premiership as a 19-year-old and he can see something similar in the superstar's relative, Daniel. When Saturday night's thriller was on the line in the fourth quarter, the first-year Tiger kicked two goals in a five-minute burst that lit up the MCG. Rioli, whose father is a cousin to Cyril, went on a three-bounce run down the wing to kick his first and then used his clean hands in tight to snap his second. They were his first goals at the home of football, and a quick glimpse into what the youngster will be capable of over a long career. In a season that has seen the Tigers' recruiting criticised, they should be praised for the way they used pick No.15 in last year's NAB AFL Draft.
