Yeh, he had an up and down game. His opponent was one of the oppo's best and whilst he did some great things he played loose and made some poor decisions late.

Welcome to the Tigers - Daniel Rioli
- Thread starter The_General
- Start date
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.

watched the replay. My memory was he was bad in the last Q, but he was much worse. The thought crossed my mind that he had backed Geelong. Obviously he didn't, but the thought actually crossed my mind.
Been so good today and that idiot Hudson keeps saying what a good player he’s become. Become? He was already a good player, he’s in the process of becoming great.
Can't make comparisons but our Dan is on another level these days and a joy to watch
