Could Daniel Rioli end up being the greatest Rioli ever?

[🏅Dooks]

Controversial thread time but put your opinion out there.

Could Daniel Rioli be a better player than Cyril, Maurice and for thread balance, lesser rated Dean?

Consider his current bag of tricks and likely development.

Discuss.

Anything is possible, a very early call, but i do like his style, aggression, passion, teamwork, mercurial x factor and commitment.
I also like the way the club is playing him and that he is playing for RFC.

He has a long way to go -- But the signs are there.

I think he's going to be a really good player but it's just too early to call. Odds on he won't be better than Cyril as he's a great but you never know.

Easily

Hawthorn are finished, will rebuild very soon. Hodge and Roughead won't go beyond this year you'd think. Although Roughead being captain may have 1 more year.

We should go after Cyril. 28 next year. Pitch playing with cousins and Dreamtime game he'd sign up in a heartbeat.

Don't forget there's potentially another Rioli in the wings that could end up at Tigerland ........... Maurice jnr!

I like it! Let's stuffin-well hoard Riolis!

I've always said Maurice Rioli is the best player I've ever seen in my time.

Daniel is going to be a special player but far too early to think he will better than Maurice. Has a very long long way to go to get close, that's how good Maurice was IMESHO

RFC - Rioli Football Club....

Should always recruit a Rioli no matter what's on offer, even if it means trading for more picks to get him. The Rioli name should always have only been associated with Richmond.

Do we get the other rioli, next draft?

Rioli having major impact at Tigerland

LAUREN WOOD, GLENN McFARLANE,
Herald Sun
9 April 2017

DANIEL Rioli’s impact has extended far beyond his electric playmaking and goal-generating ability, his captain says.

Richmond skipper Trent Cotchin has lauded the young gun, who has been likened to his star cousin and four-time premiership Hawk Cyril following his goal of the year chance in Saturday’s rain-soaked win over West Coast.

Cotchin said the 19-year-old — who grew up in the Tiwi Islands before moving to Ballarat at age 14 ahead of his 2015 drafting by the Tigers — has displayed maturity well beyond his years.

“We’ll focus on that special goal that he kicked, but I think the greatest example is that contest with (Eagle Jeremy) McGovern where he’s far and above outweighed and outsized in a contest, manages to halve it and then wins the footy, takes off and gives it to another one of our runners,” Cotchin said on Channel 9.

“The greatest thing about Dan is, for such a young kid, he’s very mature.

“Typically, Indigenous guys coming from interstate and having to embrace this whole new environment and AFL footy can struggle early days. But he’s been nothing short of outstanding and taking other guys that we’ve drafted into the club under his wing this season has been really special.”
