He was always going to sign on. Surprised at the 5 years, but I thought he’d be a Richmond player for life however it was structured.

He will take over Edwards as the indigenous leader at our club.

Rapt he is going to be with us for another 5 years.
Re-invented himself into one of the best HB in the AFL.
Provides run, carry , line breaking and can kick the odd goal. Tough too!

Now for Shai.

Rapt in his form ,

Had a few concerns with him a couple of years back ,he was looking very down in confidence

he looks reborn , not only physically but mentally he looks so sharp ,

I suspect a bit more than just a positional change has revitalised him , playing like a happy footballer full of self belief now .

Would have to be our best user by foot. Rarely wastes a kick. Always running through the guts. A weapon.

Saad the media darling and All Australian lock compared to our boy.... bees old fella in it. Our bloke kicks goals and is involved in scoring chains more.

But but but, Saad kicks a lot of ten metre woofs. That's gotta be premium right there.

Yeah it would be wrong of me to pinpoint the reason when I don’t know ,

But his footy did go backwards or didn’t progress during those times , for whatever reason it was

He is playing now like the Daniel Rioli we expected him to develop into

Point blank robbed of All Australian selection by the half wits at AfilthL House.

So that's good.

Great to see the evolution of our Dan, on and off the field.
Was watching him get trotted out to front the media the other day.
Has come a long way.
I remember the early days the lad could barely put a sentence together.
Now you see a confident performer embracing his new role and continually pumping up his team mates.
Love your work, Dan! :clap2

Dan Rioli will be high importance to us this season.
Confidence up, invigorated and key member of the team.
On the flip the bad guys will sit on him hard. We'll need more avenues to rebound outta backflank.....
Will Bakes get a licence to roam? He can be crucial to play a shutdown role.
Will Shorty shift back ?
Can we get more from Boady and Flossy.


In our pomp we had Houli and Shorty streaming forward.
Dan needs a dedicated pardner
