Former Tiger - Daniel "The Prince" Rioli

With our clear change in structure today, we need Rioli to capitalise on this. With Jack, Soldo/Nank and Caddy providing the marking options and the ability to bring the ball to ground. Today should be his day.
 
Hasn't justified his selection for about 4 or 5 weeks and no better today - seems way less switched on than he is at his best. Surely he goes back to VFL after this.
 
Not clean enough for a small forward who gets 8 touches a game. Constantly fumbling.
 
Really, really needs to be dropped. (Wonder if we were waiting for him to sign?)

If his name were Lennon or Lloyd he'd be running around in the VFL, except he'd be kicking less goals than those guys.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, but he's not doing enough to hold his spot right now.
 
Thought he looked a bit more lively this week. Agree he's nursing a hand. He dislocated a finger ptetty bad a few weeks ago from memory so maybe that

Ideally should be out for Bolton next week. Kicked a goal, looked creative at times, but still not doing enough.

This. He should have been rested weeks ago.

Looks like an ankle and a hand injury.

Interesting thoughts, tt2. I was thinking groin and hand but you might be onto something. I did think the young one moved a bit more freely yesterday, laterally, but was killed in a couple of flat races. I'll have another look today.

Over all I thought Rioli was good.
 
Time to rotate the mossies to make sure they are at their peak come September
