Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
Much better. Still a bit fumbly. But getting plumb outmarked twice by the bloke weating number 1 for St Kilda (Farren Ray or whoever) was disappointing. He just has to bring the ball to ground rather than be all or nothing in those situations.

Bit tough on Rioli there, Nick Coffield is one of St Kilda'sr best players a #8 draft pick, and 191cm vs Daniel 179cm, hardly a punishable offence to be outmarked.
Thought he had a good game and even better after watching the replay, fumbly yes but I thought his repeat efforts were great and getting closer to the Daniel of old.

Fantastic job locking the ball inside 50, giving us repeat chances for scoring opportunities.
Running from left to right with the other players in waves frustrating and putting pressure on St Kilda players not allowing them any time and space.
Inside 50 tackles our forwards 18 to Saints just the 8 - so well done Daniel, Aarts, George, Lambo and Jack Graham
I know Daniel's role and it's to win. I don't care what stats they get individually other than the 'four points' stat. Numbers are nice but team players are even better Even the great Dusty has foregone stat padding and realises 20+ from him forward off centre is better than 30+ all over the ground.
And no offence to others in the past who accumulated stats and we never won, I'm riding with what these boys do today.

If he’s one of your best players you’re in big trouble. Battler at best. He creates a fair bit of angst in saints supporters I know.
That’s understandable re Coffield.
We still have whipping boys and we’ve won 3 Premierships in 4 years
Thanks for the post Tigers of Old, he's a beauty aye. Seen a lot of dislike for the Rioli boy and as a Rioli lover, I don't really like or understand it
Many people keep throwing up he ain't no Liam Ryan - AFL media, social media react to his marks and some of the exciting highlight reels he produces. In fairness, Daniel does not have the same 'highlight reel' package but I still couldn't see what the big talk was on Ryan, yeah he does some very impressive things but is he really that good.
So I did a compare
Both 24, for the 2021 Season -
6 goals each - 1.5 a game for both
Score Involvements - DR 5.3 to 5.5 LR
Tackles - DR 3.3 to 1.8 LR
Tackles In Forward 50 - DR 3.3 to 1.8 LR
Disposals - DR 9.5 to 10.8 LR
Disposal Efficiency - DR 66% to 63% LR
AFL Fantasy - DR 53.3 to 57.3 LR
Career Stats - Tackles - DR 3.2 to 1.9 LR
Disposals per Game - DR 11.3 to 11.3 LR
Disposal Efficiency - DR 73% to 59% LR
AFL Fantasy - DR 54.2 to 57.6 LR
So I don't think Daniel is that far behind Mr Ryan. 4 fantasy points is not like a 10, 20, 30 or higher rating that Daniel is that far behind him. Nor the disposals per game are that far different that Ryan gets talked up like he's some superstar and Daniel is a hack. 11.3 a game career each!!
And the Tackles and Disposal Efficiency Daniel has over him, would love to see who people would take, a bloke delivering quality at 59% or someone at 73%. Hmm interesting.
I think Danielson deserves a bit more respect aye
Show a bit more love to a Tiger man
He's averaging 1.5 goals a game this year and kicked 0.4 against the Hawks. He's on track for 30 goals. Castagna is doing even better. Good signs.
I th
The bigger picture is 3 flags in 4 years, we can easily go back to that 1983-2016 era?
I that's what the coach suggested the other week, Daniel must get frustrated only being used as a running, field coverage, chasing and pressure player. Yes Rioli's love to tackle and put pressure on, but they don't do that all game, every game, they also show their football creativity and flair. And to do that every week, as Dimma said is mentally taxing, and they put him back for a week to the ressies, let him go out and get a kick and enjoy getting the ball.

Would be one of the luckiest players to reach 100 games considering his output over the last three years.
Missing in action tonight again.
