Daniel can play tight. But he doesn't get tackle numbers. Because of his utter contempt for the ball winning of anybody else on the park. He just takes it off them.
The way Selwood ran onto that ground ball, routinely lifted it from shin height, and then got a great view of Daniel running away with it. Rioli gave him a huge start and made light work of him on a ground ball in which Selwood was favoured. Did not make physical contact, just operated at a different level.
How many Richmond players can do that? Dion. MoJu?
27 touches. 7 score involvements. Daniel Rioli had a shocker in many ways. Hot game? Hot pressure?
Daniel's nett return was mediocre. Prolific brilliance undone by prolific bungling. But there are two huge indicators here. Prolific brilliance and prolific possessions.
He levelled up. *Oh, but he cost us the game.* A fair point.
