Maurice wore 27 after he was going to leave in the off season to the Swans, stayed and had a number change, not sure who got 17
Really? I don't remember that at all. What year was that?

I just assumed he wore 17 his whole career at Richmond.

Maurice was nearly poached by Sydney (Edelstein) but the salary cap stopped it so he returned to Tigerland in number 27. I think Mark Eustice wore the 17. Never as good in number 27.
Na, Eustice was no.4. I'm thinking Craig Smith.

86 or 87, Riddler. My memory says midway through 86?

I can understand a first rounder being under pressure but how does a late rounder/rookie pick put him under pressure?
Maurice, Cyril, Daniel, Willie, Dean..........................MoJo. The name's Rioli, there's gunna be plenty of pressure from the history of the name, plus the pressure of a truck load of old fart Richmond supporters who remember the original Maurice playing n will be sweating on everything the kid does.
Kid's gunna need plenty of support n protection from the rabid hype.

Mo Jo's sister goes ok too, sign her up as a father-daughter.




MAURICE RIOLI'S DAUGHTER DOMINATES NT WIN:

Another standout from the carnival was Maria Rioli.

She's the daughter of the late great Richmond legend Maurice Rioli and today she was absolutely brilliant against ACT.

Rioli kicked seven out of the Northern Territory's nine goals in a 54-point win.

With performances like that, maybe she'll carve out her own football legacy as an AFLW player!
OMG someone's got a camel toe.

Tiger fans today are very educated on the different roles needed for success, something other clubs along with the media are struggling to really understand.

I can understand a first rounder being under pressure but how does a late rounder/rookie pick put him under pressure?
I was saying we as fans are putting pressure on him already. Not the pick. Looking through this thread people are saying he could be a very early pick. I was just saying i think he was projected to go lot later so we shouldn't put pressure on him to tear the competition apart. Just let him develop.
