It’s before my time but what was Maurice Rioli Snr like in his early days? Was he instantly a game changer or did it take a bit to get going?

Superstar as soon as he arrived.

He was the best Tiger player I had seen until a certain bloke who currently wears no. 4 came along

Raines was great but no where near Maurice.

Having seen Royce Hart play and he was amazing

Had having seen the current bloke wearing it play

IMHO the answer is yes (for me at least)

I was a huge Royce fan from 1970 onwards, I've also seen many Dusty games.  They can't be compared just because they both had #4  on their backs.  Royce was a key forward in a different era to the midfielder Dusty in the present.

I will say that both are Richmond royalty & it has been an absolute joy & privilege to have watched both of them holding up multiple premiership cups.      :clapping

As I have said he is a very average footballer in his first 20 Games. That has to improve. There were question marks  on him before he was selected hence why he was drafted quite late if I recall. This is why I don't expect much.

Today zero tackles

He's not afl standard and won't be I don't think. 
Rubbish kick, fumbles constantly. 
Probably should be delisted

Been subbed out

They just showed him on the bench refusing to take the phone

Should be dropped for that
