They asked whether Drioli is AA contention and they said no. WTF. Not only should he be in contention, he should be a walk up start. He is the most damaging half back in the comp right now

The difference bw Rioli and other back flankers is he can defend.

Playing like Andrew McLeod

Not sure there has ever been a bloke who played in 3 flags as a forward, was moved to defense and became one of the best in the league in his positionm

AA jumpers are reserved for cats player but WGAF?

I would not swap him for any other running half back in the league, he has had an incredible season , best form of his career

The disdain he shows forward pockets is a delight to watch. Defends when he needs to. Runs down the ground and kicks goals at other times.

Even Cornes has him as a likely, and he is a selector if I am not mistaken.
The 2022 All Australian selection panel:

Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Jude Bolton, Nathan Buckley, Kane Cornes, Andrew Dillon, Glen Jakovich, Chris Johnson, Cameron Ling, Nick Riewoldt and Brad Scott. Kevin Sheehan is also a selector for the NAB AFL Rising Star Award

Am I imagining it or is he kicking better as a halfback as well ?
Whether he makes AA or not it’s been an inspired move.
Clearly Dimma must have called one of the ex assistants for the idea :sarcasm

The Tackle: Mark Robinson’s likes and dislikes from round 21 of the 2022 AFL season​

More Riolis at Richmond?​

Maurice is becoming the spark specialist and the energy he brings is hard to ignore, while Dan Rioli continues to make claims for a position in the All Australian team. The back six in the AA team can’t take all attacking and creative defenders because every team needs its lockdown defenders, but Rioli is well in the mix after yet another commanding display. He had 25 and kicked two goals. Another Rioli joining Maurice and Dan is not out of the question. West Coast’s Willie Rioli is reportedly weighing up a decision to leave the Eagles and you’d think Maurice and Dan would be in his ear to join the Tigers. With Kane Lambert retired and probably the wonderful Shane Edwards to follow, the Tigers could use a small, skilful forward.

I like it Hirsute you wooly beast, you.

And I also like D. Rioli's season too. Bombarding the AA selectors with messages about his selection.
