I'd reckon. Uncles are more like fathers for Aboriginal people, and when you consider that MJ's dad passed when he was very young, it would be more so.

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

Yet another senior player who didn't show up to play tonight. Ok late but it was a very poor game by Dan after his great run of form.
He's had a tough week family wise. Wonder if it had an impact?

I’d say it had a big impact. But if you aren’t right to play, put your hand up and say that. No one would have a problem with that.
2 touches at half time, not sure what he ended up with but his worst game in a long time.
Agree. A month of tough games and kicked in the arse. I still blame T Stewart
Must have, going by that look to the sky and kiss armband after that goal he kicked.
Will sign up to stay on a long term deal.
Best 1st round pick since big V.
Well deserved. Quality & skilled footballer
P.s doesn't look good for Baker. We give hik the chance to play AFL now he it looks likely he will join a club that ignored him at 3 drafts and countless Rookie selections.

I read the SEN article too.
Didn’t suggest Baker wasn’t signing. In fact it said he’s most likely to stay
Good to see this. I reckon Rio's got some leadership in him too. Hopefully Bakes is next to sign soon enough.
Good news if he stays but I sure hope he plays a lot better tomorrow night.
Daniel had been in cracking form, perhaps the death of Willie Rioli was still impacting on him, I am sure he will play much better this week and will need him to if we are going to be any chance.
TIGERS STAR SET TO STAY

RICHMOND fan favourite and triple-premiership star Daniel Rioli is on the cusp of signing a long-term extension to remain at Punt Road.
AFL.com.au understands Rioli is on the verge of agreeing to a new deal with the Tigers, having initially delayed talks to focus on his football throughout the season.
As revealed by AFL.com.au's Inside Trading in April, Rioli had elected to park talks with Richmond officials over a new deal after only signing a one-year extension to remain with the Tigers for this season.
It led to widespread speculation over his future among clubs, though after changing management groups shortly after the 25-year-old is close to committing his best years to Damien Hardwick's side.
Rioli played key roles for Richmond in each of its premiership campaigns in 2017, 2019 and 2020, but has made a successful switch into the backline recently to average 20.7 disposals and five marks per game this year.
He had a career-high 31 disposals against Gold Coast a fortnight ago, having previously racked up personal-best tallies of 27 and 28 touches against Geelong and then West Coast in the two weeks prior.
Rioli's signature is set to be a significant fillip for a Richmond side battling to retain its position inside the AFL's top-eight, after close losses to the Suns and the Kangaroos over the last fortnight.
Richmond has a series of intriguing contract decisions still to make in the final weeks of the season, with veteran trio Jack Riewoldt, Trent Cotchin and Shane Edwards – along with important utility Liam Baker – nearing the end of their current deals.
