Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli

[Mr Brightside]

Dan was just a bit off again yesterday with a lot of what he did. He’s playing ok but is ok enough to keep you in this 22? Vulnerable IMO.

I think the wheels are starting to turn in the right direction, dosent look as propy as he was, starting to hit the scoreboard and stick tackles a bit more, fingers crossed

Agree CC, Daniel is creeping back, but we need more from him , in form he is critical.

Agree. still not doing enough imo. I'm starting to wonder, is this as good as he gets? He's just a small forward who bobs up for the occasional 3-4 goals? We all love to remember him kicking 4 in the 2017 prelim and 3 in last years QF, but ignore he kicked a combined total of 1 point for the Geelong QF, 2017 GF & 2018 COL Prelim games.

This was his big knock pre-draft. He floated in and out for games at a time. Frustrating to see how Castagna keeps himself involved by comparison.

I think I keep expecting him to return to some mythical consistent form that he's never actually displayed.

 

[tigerlove]

Just going. Stack and Bolton seem to have surpassed him as dangerous small forwards.

There’s signs there mate but he’s under pressure no doubt to hold his position.

 

[TigerMad]

Baker is an upgrade.

 

[22nd Man]

ive been harsh on him all year but thought yesterday he was more involved in play, part of scoring chains and in a few cases he was on the scene when goals were being raffled amongst the small blokes. Still not a lock but much better than his average effort this season.

 

[zippadeee]

Was shown up yesterday by stack bolton and Eggy.
Needs to pull his finger out because he starting to be lazy around the ball.
Not like the Rioli of 2017

 

[kiwitiger]

Seems to have lost that X factor magic that he had with the football in his hands ,
Become far more predictable and less dangerous to the opposition,
Hopefully it’s just a temporary thing

 

[craig]

Move him back into Dimma's until the end of the campaign I reckon and get Mrs Hardwick to get him sorted out

 

[tigerman]

Looked to be moving a bit better yesterday, had a bit of his pace back. Hopefully his body is feeling ok now after a couple of big hits earlier in the season.

 

[TheCan]

i’ve said once and twice and maybe thrice... it’s the fevola.

 

[tha8ball]

I love Rioli but His form has been underwhelming and I reckon he is still on thin ice holding a spot.

Baker is breathing down his neck - he also has the ability to roll through the midfield which might be a crucial factor going forward.

 

[bairdy380]

Pump him up... my little one is going to Riolis rookies (Auskick) on Tuesday and I've been telling him he's going good!... can't have you ruin my charade!

 

[TigerMad]

i’ve said once and twice and maybe thrice... it’s the fevola.

Would Fevola's advice to Rioli be:

>You only get one crack at it, so go as hard as you can and leave nothing on the table?
>It's a business, look after yourself, stay injury free and have as long a career as possible?

 

[Harry]

Why is he living at the Fevolas anyway? Surely he can afford his own place. Last place I'd want to live at is with the inlaws.

 

[Ian4]

I'm not saying Rioli should be out of the team, but i'll go he if Liam baker doesn't deserve to be in the team ahead of Rioli.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Thought there was some good signs tonight, hopefully edging closer to form

 

[French Tiger]

Better game tonight , got up the ground a little bit & on the wide spaces of the g not a bad thing where he can use his pace

 

[dimmauchamp]

Been pretty average but I thought his pressure tonight was nearing his 2017 output. Don't care that much about the goals as long as he brings that relentless pressure.
