How did we all rate Rioli's 2 kicks and 2 tackles...

And one of those 2 kicks he had, he missed a goal from the goal square.
Not good enough. But he's been our most consistent of all three amigos. I'd drop George before the other two.

This is why they are having a mighty sook over it on BF. They didn't seem to carry on so much when they had to host Pies or Hawks at the MCG. While they should be confident against us I think they know they're just about due to be rolled by us.

Better than  :shhGeorge
bothe George and Daniel did a lot of work off the ball. Rioli spent a lot of time on the bench after taking a heavy hit. Missed most of I think the third quarter.
Need Broads height. Really hard to know who to leave out for Caddy.

He laid a brilliant tackle near the goal square and should have been rewarded. Came off injured after that tackle.

I liked George's game. Didn't get much of the ball but contested bloody hard
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Is that the brilliant tackle where he let the St.Kilda player go so he could get a handball away?? I know the holding the ball rule is pretty sketchy at the monument but I'm pretty sure if you get a handball away it's not holding the ball.

Does Dusty stay in if he doesn't make an announcement, or worse, says he is off to North?

I'm pretty sure Rioli's main goals set are to harass, pressure, tackle.

I think you will find Rioli playing more up the field and through the midfield once his body gets bigger and his tank improves.  At this stage the easily pleased stat noters should be satisfied.

I for one think we are witnessing the birth of a real special player.

Definitely wasn't his best game. However, he is tall and a big body. That gets him over the line IMHO.

If he were to leave there would be no way he'd announce it before finals. He wants to win as well let's not forget

Well spotted, I agree. His last 2-3 games have been shockers. We need Castagna's speed and pressure.

Interesting thought.
I like his speed and extra height is a bonus but he doesn't get enough of the ball nor does he win the contested ball near enough.
I think Broad has done ok but I worry about his poise going into the finals. Broad is the sort of bloke that will most likely have a Sheridan moment in the finals also broad doesn't have the penetration in his kicks like short does.
That's why I'd drop Broad and bring in short.
Problem with Caddy and Townsend we loose speed but finals is all about winning contested footy and beating your man on the day.
I'd also look at dropping whoever was supposed to have played on Gresham (who didn't look like had an opponent the whole game)
