Maurice Rioli Jnr

Young Maurice put the writing on the wall two rounds back in the VFA. He was classes above all bar one or two of his team mates on the day.

But his numbers last week were ordinary.

Still, it’s entirely reasonable to promote him this week rather than feed him to Melbourne last week.

Let’s hope our 19yo Superhunk can get amongst it tonight. Maybe he’ll show us his teleport trick. Young Naish might get a surprise or two.

Hopefully Moju gets involved tonight and is ready to rumble.

Exciting inclusions MoJu and Syd.

Hopefully they might provide some much needed spark.

If we get some much needed time in forward half it’ll be down to Stack and MoJu hunting the lumbering eagles backs.

He needs fitness and a bit more burst to make it I reckon. All up to him.

I hope, for nothing more than the romance of it all, that Moju makes it to at least 100 senior games for us.

More fitness. Another preseason under his belt and could be part of the new midfield rotations.

Geez it was nice to have some small fwds applying pressure tonight. Maurice, Stack, Castagna and Bolton all night just hounding the eagles defenders. There was a lot of the tigers of old about the small fwds tonight. Been a big hole for a while now.

I was 8 yrs old when I first watched Maurice Snr play for Richmond. I was spellbound by how freaky good he was. If MRj could reach 60% of that it would be awesome. Keep playing him until he needs a rest and then let him consolidate in the VFL.

You can see him second guess his first option (which was usually the right one) but there’s something there
